Osteria Mozza is a Michelin Guide-starred Italian restaurant in Hollywood, California.[1][2][3]
In 2007, Nancy Silverton partnered with New York chef Mario Batali and his frequent collaborator Joseph Bastianich to open an Italian restaurant, Osteria Mozza. Reminiscent of the evolution of La Brea Bakery, a pizzeria, Pizzeria Mozza, opened in an adjoining space prior to the opening of the main restaurant. It was met with an "instant and outsize swoon." The Los Angeles Times gave it a four-star review, and the New York Times called it a "serious and impressive restaurant."[4]
Four months after the opening of the pizzeria, Osteria Mozza opened to similar acclaim. Although the restaurant's entire menu was widely praised, Silverton's interpretation of antipasti as a Mozzarella bar won particular recognition, with Zagat's noting that she had "perfected the art of cheese."[5] It was nominated as Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation the year it opened, and was awarded a Michelin star in 2008.[6] Osteria Mozza maintained its Michelin star in the 2022 Michelin Guide for California.[7]
Osteria Mozza later opened restaurants in Newport Beach, California (Pizzeria Mozza), and Singapore. The original Mozza location has since grown to include Mozza2Go and a third restaurant, Chi Spacca, which focuses on meats.[8]
