"Ospi is an excellent Italian restaurant one block from the boardwalk that comes from the same people behind one of our other favorite Italian restaurants on the Westside, Jame Enoteca. You come here to eat razor-thin pizzas, vodka sauce-covered pastas, and big plates of crispy scaled branzino and butter chicken served parm-style. There’s also a wrap-around front patio that works for almost any occasion, whether it be a first date or a rowdy, wine-drenched party with friends. Be sure to make reservations well in advance—Ospi gets incredibly busy on weekends." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
