   In the early days Osteria Mozza was the place to go. When Batali was actually around once in awhile and Silverton frequently, and David Rossoff was running the dining room and the wine program. The two bottles per table corkage limit was always off putting for wine collectors, but the food was top of the line and once in awhile a third bottle found its way to the table top. Forward many years to last night. Getting the car taken care of by the valet took ten minutes. Then there was a 15 minute delay in seating for the 8:00 pm reservation, without apology. The place was packed and the anticipation was high. The Silverton Caesar Salad had so much vinegar that it wilted the lettuce, but the toast with sliced hard cooked eggs was good, although definitely not classic Caesar. Same for the salad served with the grilled octopus, i.e. too much vinegar. The duck confit, which I presumed would be a leg and thigh, was actually one half of a small duck. Looked good, with very crispy skin, but way too much salt. Two bites was all I could take. Guests liked their three different pastas a lot and the desserts were okay. At the end of the meal everyone agreed that the best thing was the grilled thick bread drenched in olive oil and seasoned with garlic. That should not be the best dish at a restaurant of this caliber. To paraphrase the old Buffalo Springfield song "Something happened here, but what it is ain't exactly clear."

   Loved my experience. The staff was great. Food was excellent. I thought the items could be $2-$3 cheaper, but I’ll assume it’s to pay the staff, so not a big deal. Had a fun evening.

   It was amazing! The food was great and service was on point! I loved everything we ordered. We ordered way to much food and scarfed it all down. Fav was the motz w anchovies, duck confit, orecchiette w sausage, and beignets w huckleberries for dessert

   We had a splendid (round) table in the secluded 'red room' surrounded by floor to ceiling wine racks. All of us rejoiced in the truly great food, the brilliant service, the calm and the time we were allowed together. What a joy in a busy city. Special thanks to Jonathan our waiter/host who was patient, knowledgeable and charming. He educated us about the menu and guided us from first bites on through dessert. He is exceptional. We will never forget our three hours there. And we will be back!

    We're always dine at the pizzeria and love it a lot . Yesterday we dine at the osteria our reservation was at 9pm Our waiter was great . Service in general was very slow We waited for a long time between the order to the appetizers and main dishes, and then the lamb chops came completely rare and I really think that almost $80 for 2 chops make no sense when you pasta on the menu for 25 or so. We had to cancel it unfortunately and we walk out of the restaurant still hungry 😑. I will try to come back to have a second chance. Thank you Shay talbi.

    Our dinner began with excellent service and a fantastic aperitif The octopus was the best I have ever had! The gin cocktail and corn and mushroom pasta were delightful as was the sautéed trout. Due to over ordering, we didn’t have an opportunity to taste dessert. Staff and food excellent! Nothing more to be asked from a restaurant

    I have been many times at Mozza the mozzarella selection is amazing but I found a piece of paper in the anchovies and the waiter said it is normal I also had the tagliata and the quality of the meat was not great and a bit hard. Sure you can do better!

    We went to Osteria Mozza yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Our first waiter was wonderful, very nice and patient and took care of our needs. The food was also amazing. But as soon as we said we didn’t want dessert (just because nothing looked like something we would like) the second waitress just went and gave us the bill, without our asking. It was very rude, we felt as if we were being pushed to leave. Also, except a note, there was nothing nice to celebrate our occasion. Very disappointing.

    We went here for our 3 year anniversary. The staff were nice and accommodating. They left us a sweet note on the table wishing us a happy anniversary AND gave us complimentary champagne to kick off our meal. It’s a little pricey, but our food was excellent. I highly recommend the 36 month aged Parmesan.

    Great experience all around, both service and food were on point. First time eating here and the server was so friendly, patient, and helpful. Highly recommend sharing and trying a number of different choices. Furthermore, it was my mom’s birthday and there was an unexpected card at the start plus a bday dessert with candle at the end of our meal.

    Reservation was for 7:30 but we were not seated until 8:20. They did not explain or apologize. They knew it was my friend’s birthday and yet shamelessly ruined it by making us stand awkwardly in the bar area for 50 minutes waiting to be seated. There were other tables available and yet we stood there. Please do not make the same mistake and make a ‘reservation’ at this restaurant. They DO NOT care. The hosts, waiters. and other staff saw us waiting and did nothing and said nothing about it. Appalling. They ruined a birthday we’d been planning for weeks, and again, they knew it.

    The cuisine was delicious as always. Had the roasted figs for the first time--a dream dish. Daniel and Ibrahim were professional yet affable. Love to eat here, and my only quibble is the corkage fee of fifty dollars. I think anything over thirty five (especially if we are buying cocktails and other wine from the restaurant) dollars is too much. That certainly won't stop us from going there as often as we can.

    Contradicts the true meaning of Osteria (inexpensive, simple and home made food bites) but I guess it’s LA so they can charge $8 for bread.
