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.

    We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

    I recently dined at Bacari PDR and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that the chefs put a lot of care into their creations. 🍽️ The service was equally impressive, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. While it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks to arrive, the overall experience more than made up for it. The staff's warm demeanor and the quality of the food truly stood out. If you're looking for a place with fantastic food and excellent service, I highly recommend giving Bacari PDR a try. It's definitely worth the visit! 🍷✨
