We take pride in our great selection of wines, craft cocktails, and mocktails, ensuring there’s something for every taste. We also offer take-out and delivery for those who prefer to enjoy our meals at home. Named one of the best supper spots in Venice by the LA Times, we serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, creating a celebrated dining experience with in-season ingredients that nourish both body and soul.

Price: Very Expensive
• Italian • Venice
Booked 26 times today
Ospi is the sophomore restaurant of Jackson & Melissa Kalb, focused on Southern Italian cooking and way of life. The name derives from ospitante (“host” in Italian), with the expectation that guests will feel as comfortable at Ospi as they would at a friend’s dinner party. There will be plenty of house-made pastas as well as an expanded offering of pizzas. The beverage program crafted by Kalb features mostly Californian and Southern Italian wines and a full bar with a special negroni section. At Ospi, the pizza is inspired by the techniques of Antico Forno Roscioli which Jackson and Melissa frequented while visiting Rome. Focusing on Romana Tonda-style crusts that are cracker-thin, he is adapting a recipe that he feels will resonate with the LA diner. Jackson feels it extremely important to not take food too seriously. Take a trip to Southern Italy and be a guest in our home.

    Sophisticated and sultry Asian fusion in Hermosa Beach with a low-key, urban beat. Hokkaido Milk Bread with briny, chive spread melts in your mouth. The lamb chops were perfected grilled--tender and juicy. Order the dragon roll! Tons of Asian spirits, sake and liquors to sit back and relax with. Do not skip dessert. Matcha tiramisu and chocolate mousse with candied orange and blood orange filling were as beautiful as they were tasty. Bring your friends and enjoy the experience.
