Exceptional(1534)

Price: Very Expensive

• Italian • Venice

Booked 28 times today

Ospi is the sophomore restaurant of Jackson & Melissa Kalb, focused on Southern Italian cooking and way of life. The name derives from ospitante (“host” in Italian), with the expectation that guests will feel as comfortable at Ospi as they would at a friend’s dinner party. There will be plenty of house-made pastas as well as an expanded offering of pizzas. The beverage program crafted by Kalb features mostly Californian and Southern Italian wines and a full bar with a special negroni section. At Ospi, the pizza is inspired by the techniques of Antico Forno Roscioli which Jackson and Melissa frequented while visiting Rome. Focusing on Romana Tonda-style crusts that are cracker-thin, he is adapting a recipe that he feels will resonate with the LA diner. Jackson feels it extremely important to not take food too seriously. Take a trip to Southern Italy and be a guest in our home.

Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style.

Excellent well-prepared and delicious food. I've eaten there for years and it's consistently great. Expensive, but remember it's Josiah Citrin from Melisse who is the chef owner. You are going to get what you pay for there. my favs: Cabbage, chicken wings, calamari and green beans. Any of the steaks and get the fries- best in the city. Shrimp, broccolini, carrots. Duck excellent from Liberty Duck Bring some friends and share.

We had our after Christmas family brunch/lunch at Whiskey Red's. The food was delicious (good size portions too) and our server Bertha was very attentive and pleasant. We haven't been here in a long time but was very pleased with all the staff and the outdoor patio was great with heat lamps and fire pits. Looking forward to going back again in the future. Thanks!

Excellent food and ambience. The white truffle pasta was excellent. I would suggest this as a shared dish. The cauliflower was simply the best I have eaten. Fish and meat dishes were of the highest standard. Our server, Jessica, was particularly attentive. This restaurant is unique in many ways but be aware that it is rather expensive!
