Chi Spacca

Exceptional. I travel and dine constantly…this is the best food and dining experience I’ve had in 2024. Full stop. Can I say exceptional again? Everything we had was delicious and differentiated. You can’t make a bad selection…you must try the tomahawk pork chop. The waiter was also on point and very knowledgeable. Look forward to returning the next time I am in LA.

My husband and I came to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of marriage! We indulged in excellent food, superb quality! COzy AND chill, low lit LIGHTS KIND OF vibes. Great wine selection. It's a great place for date night or just getting your best group of friends together for some really good sharable plates. We will be back! The pork chop was the winner!🏆

Meat-centric Italian spot that’s a sister restaurant of Osteria Mozza. Came here for dinner and made a reservation online for 5:30 for four people. Indoor dining only. Valet parking available as well as street parking. We split the charcuterie board, little gem salad, porcini rubbed short ribs, pollo a la diavola, beef and bone marrow pie, broccolini, and pane Bianco. Definitely not the restaurant to go to when you’re a vegan/vegetarian. The food was all rich and very tasty. My favorites were the short ribs and the pollo. The food came out as it was ready. Our waiter was effusive and everyone checked in frequently. There was one table that good for a big group. We had leftovers for the following day which still kept well. We had the chocolate tart for dessert and they gave us complimentary spoonfuls of strawberry gelato. Overall, a good restaurant for a hearty meal and for a special occasion.

One of Nancy Silverston’s trio of restaurant, Osteria Mozza, Pizzeria Mozza and Chi Spacca in the sprawling Melrose. Chi Spacca is basically Nancy’s passion for meat, specifically grilled meat which I’ve watched from her shows in Italy. The highlight are the 36oz and 50 oz Florentino (Tuscany) steaks but for three of us that’s a lot of meat. We wanted our dear friend to experience the feast at Chi Spacca and their amazing tomahawk Porkchop., rubbed with salt and spices and grilled for 45 minutes. Our feast started with pane bianco with fresh burrata cheese (TDF), their Cesar salad though a little too citrusy for our taste, the Mediterranean octopus was chewy and chargrilled to perfection. The first course arrived, the lobster pie with a soft and flaky crust was abundant with lobster meat and veggies. The the second course porcini-rubbed short ribs and that salsa verde added the extra “what is that beautiful flavor” taste in your mouth experience. And the final course finally arrived, the grilled tomahawk porkchop with the juicy meat and salted fennel rub. We laughed and said the only missing part for Filipinos are rice and lechon sauce. To cleanse the palate, we tried the sorbet. A combination of citrusy passion fruit and sweet raspberries was perfect. Our friend said the words perfectly, we don’t eat to get full you can buy that everywhere, we eat to experience great cooking. To add to that great food is even made better with great friends when you break bread. Service was impeccable catering to our needs and food were timed accordingly. Next time we have to save room for the 50 is dry-aged porterhouse.
