Osteria Mozza - Hancock Park

The burrata with peas is actually my favorite from the mozzarella bar. I’m glad it’s still on the menu.

Anyone been in 2022? Anything to seek out and/or avoid?

I’ve always been a huge fan of anything from Nancy’s Mozzarella Bar and the pastas are typically well-worth having.

I ate at Osteria Mozza a month or two ago and it didn’t appear to have missed a beat.

My play is to focus on the mozzarella, appetizers, salads and pastas and pass on the mains. The mains I’ve had have always been good, but I feel like the rest of the menu outshines them.

In addition to the above I really like the Brussel sprout salad and both of the raviolis.

If you do want a main, my favorite has been the filet mignon in brodo. I’m not usually a filet mignon person but their preparation is unique and delicious.

Not if it comes from the seabed.

Sounds like going to the mattresses and end up sleeping with the fishes.

what is this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on the menu.

The bartender described it to me as a “filet mignon in french onion soup”, which wasn’t far from the mark. It’s a filet mignon served on a soup plate with brown broth at the bottom, and the filet mignon maybe 1/4 inch submerged in the brodo.

I do think it’s a newer item on the menu.

Is that the pan-seared filet with brodo di Parmigiano that’s on the sample menu?

Yup that’s the one

would people say the octopus is overrated or not necessarily a “must get” here? I love octopus but in general am looking for standouts and find most to be “good-great” if that makes sense
