Osteria Mozza - Hancock Park

bread, butter, olive oil

mozzarella di bufala, anchovies, garlic toast
highlight. these pujado solano anchovies were delicious and less salty than the ortiz anchovies they were using before. make sure not to waste that sweet sweet anchovy oil, i drizzled it on top of each bite. i just wish they gave you more garlic toast, the amount of toast to cheese and anchovy is ridiculously small.

grilled octopus, potato, celery, green onion & lemon
wasn’t a fan of this dish, the salad was too acidic and overpowered the octopus.

sweet corn cappallaci, chanterelles & thyme
nice balance of savoriness and sweetness @A5KOBE

crispy duck confit, pear mostarda & sauteed sweet corn
eating the duck by itself i thought it was just okay, but pairing it with the sweet and spicy pear mostarda really brought it to a whole nother level. skin could have been crisper.

japanese sweet potato cake, president butter gelato & bay leaf caramel
the cake was a bit dense, and the slightly savory butter gelato was interesting. not bad.
