Heralded as a "meat speakeasy" by Food & Wine Magazine, chi SPACCA has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience, where accompaniments like the Foccacia di Recco, warm salted Medjool dates, and Culatello & Puglia burrata are just sideshows for the rest of Chef Armen Ayvazyan's wood-fired menu which features a 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop, a 36-ounce dry-aged bone-in New York Costata alla Fiorentina, and a 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse Bistecca Fiorentina.Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in Los Angeles so that we could experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house.

    We came here to celebrate my daughter‘s 26th birthday with the family. This is our first time dining in here and the ambience looks amazing. It’s not too loud. It’s not too bright, but it’s just right. The decor is also fantastic and interesting. Food it’s really good. The fillet Tokyo style is the favorite Although I don’t eat meat, but I am glad that they all like it. The Bronzino was a little bit salty for me, but it was tasty. The highlight of the night was the dessert platter. It was amazing and we would dine in just to order the dessert platter. We think our waiter who is really kind and very helpful with all our request.

    Excellent but too expensive. There are other great steaks available in town for half as much per person. Bread shouldn’t be $18 for 1/4 loaf of sourdough.

    The staff was absolutely amazing when we came on Christmas Day. Our party was running past 15 minutes and after arriving they were able to accommodate us after waiting patiently to be squeezed in. I can’t thank the manager and his staff enough for how amazing and their graciousness for allowing us to be able to experience their Christmas menu! Thank you again and happy holidays!
