For a Michelin starred restaurant it was honestly just ok. The service really is next level. Shout out to Shakira for her cute humor while still being super professional. And the ambiance was lovely. But honestly the food was just....meh. They encourage family style but the portions are super small. Nothing on the menu left me craving it again or wowed me. And the cocktail menu was lame. I got the $35 espresso martini and it was totally not worth it. Meteora, while more expensive, is way more unique and exceptionally high end. And Osteria La Buca has way better pasta that's handmade. Not sure if the pasta at Mozza is handmade but it didn't taste like it. Probably won't go back. For the price point there's plenty of better places.

Loved our overall experience, actually reserved a table for our next and last last night in LA and pre-purchased and asked them to decant our wine 5 hours prior to our dining reservation. Thank you Osteria Mozza

The service was great. The ambience was great. The pasta was amazing. The only thing I thought was just ok was the 24 oz. Porcini-Rubbed Bone-in Ribeye finished with 25yrs Aceto Balsamico. Not sure if it was the sauce but the steak was just ok but for the price I was anticipating the taste and quality to be like that of Chi Spacca next door. Overall the meal was great I just had high expectations.

The food was amazing and the drinks were good but I guessing my when my girlfriend filled out the check, I always give her my card and ask her to do it, she didn't tip well enough or something so even though they had some open tables they asked us to leave for newer guest even enough we were seated at the bar and ordering drinks while chatting with the couple next to us. So minus that part it was amazing.

We had a great experience! The food was amazing and everyone was super friendly, and my friend whose birthday we were celebrating felt very appreciated. Would absolutely go again!

This time we didn't have a good experience: one of the dishes was so spicy that it was impossible to eat, and the waiter only made jokes, not offering to replace the dish. But what bothered us most was the rude way the waiter overfilled big glasses with water, even when the glass was still full and the dinner was almost over, without us having asked for a new bottle. Such a rude practice of charging for service should not exist in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Consistently great going on 2 decades. They made our anniversary special and it was very much appreciated.

The food is remarkably delicious. Everything is prepared with great care and detail. Even the Parmesan grated on my pasta was next level. They use all the finest freshest ingredients and it shows. Ran into some issues on the wine choices. I wasn't interested in a $500 bottle of wine but the sommelier seemed lost on what to recommendation despite giving lots of information about what we like. Went with individual glasses instead which is probably the most economic because the pours are large.

From start to finish, this meal was spectacular. Thank you chef's and to the entire Mozza team for a flawless meal and impeccable service. I look forward to my next visit.
Daniela
Good food with fresh ingredients and some innovative dishes. We ordered the $120 pasta with white truffle; it was tasty but not really worth the price. The desserts, on the other hand, were delicious! We had the gelato and sorbet. Our waitress was amazing — friendly and attentive throughout the meal.
I have never had a rare steak and I never knew how unbelievable a properly cooked rare steak could taste!

My wife and I have been looking into trying Osteria Mozza for quite some time since we moved from the east coast. We made our way to Osteria Mozza from Orange County to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Overall, we would say we were very disappointed with the food given they have one Michelin star. The service was lovely and our server was really amazing. Our hostess and server really tried their best to make our night a special one given it was our wedding anniversary dinner. The food did not make our night special. We were disappointed with our pasta dish. We ordered the Orecchiette. The dish was very salty. Again, the dish was very salty and did not meet the standards of a Michelin star restaurant. For our main course we ordered the crispy duck confit and we ate a quarter of it and took it home. The dish was way too salty and we could not finish it. My wife and I were saying possibly the kitchen had an off day. The food was way too salty and we are not going back for a second visit. We have tried Osteria Mozza and we have crossed it off our list to never go back. We hope future diners have a better experience than we did.

My family goes about once a year and always has an excellent experience. This time, our server was exceptional.

WORST SERVICE EVER…We were so excited to bring our friends here as I am a huge fan of Nancy Silverton, but we were all horrified with how rude & terrible the service was. Will never be back.

Absolutely exceptional experience! The food was exquisite, every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic flavor. The service was attentive and professional without being intrusive; the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, perfect for a special evening or simply celebrating good taste. Yes, it’s on the pricier side $100+ per person but completely worth it for the quality, creativity, and overall experience.
