Osteria Mozza

"Pasta (only) Tasting Menu offering a five-course seasonal pasta tasting menu with rotating ingredients showcasing the best California produce. The menu includes dishes like butternut squash tortelloni and bucatini all’amatriciana." - Jillian Dara

"Walking in and sitting at the bar at Osteria Mozza rewards you with a few things: relatively immediate seating, the full menu of solid Italian food, and the off-chance of getting a front-row seat to watch Nancy Silverton in her preferred habitat of pulling mozzarella cheese for the masses. Order the ricotta and egg raviolo that’s covered in a brown butter sauce and a glass of Sicilian red, and watch as the Hancock Park old guard trickle in from their mansions. " - brant cox

"The classic Italian restaurant at Melrose and Highland is doing a special V-Day menu for two that costs $200. The package includes several courses such as their famous chopped salad, pasta rotolo, roast chicken, tiramisu, and olive oil cake, plus an entire “Apertivo Hour” that includes snacks and a bottle of prosecco. If that’s not enough, they also throw in a vase of flowers. Pickup only." - brant cox

"If you’re into Italian wine (or think you’d like to be into Italian wine), Osteria Mozza is where you should be drinking it. The wine list here is 68 pages deep, with bottles from across the country ranging from affordable to four-figure prices. They also have a selection of wines that come by the carafe (about a third of a bottle), so you can order a different one with each of the five courses of pasta you ordered." - jess basser sanders
