Heralded as a "meat speakeasy" by Food & Wine Magazine, chi SPACCA has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience, where accompaniments like the Foccacia di Recco, warm salted Medjool dates, and Culatello & Puglia burrata are just sideshows for the rest of Chef Armen Ayvazyan's wood-fired menu which features a 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop, a 36-ounce dry-aged bone-in New York Costata alla Fiorentina, and a 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse Bistecca Fiorentina.

Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in Los Angeles so that we could experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house.

From the OpenTable editors: Anyone who can’t imagine a celebration dinner without meat—and lots of it—should go straight to this upscale Tuscan steakhouse. Part of chef Nancy Silverton’s Mozza empire, Chi Spacca zeroes in on butcher-inspired mains like a 50-ounce bistecca Fiorentina and tomahawk pork chop. The supporting characters on the menu are just as impressive, and so is the massive Italian wine list. Add a candlelit dining room, and you’ve got all the essentials for a big night out.

Last night I finally tried their signature bone marrow pie. As you might guess it's extremely rich. Do not fail to order the focaccia. It's a work of art. Sat at the chef's counter and finally got to see what it takes to achieve this perfection

We had the big pork chop, and it was excellent. The branzino was delicious. The chicory salads is simply one of the best salads Ive ever had. Always get the focaccia. Shoutout to Daniel for amazing service and wine reco’s.

It was too windy, cold and the only other table who also sat outside was asking to be moved indoors. The menus and tarps kept blowing and knocked over a stool. They did move us about an hour in, which was great, food is delicious as always.

I don't eat meat but was fascinated watching the chefs as they cooked giant shareable portions of beef. It was sheer artistry. Everything we ordered was delicious...Olives, salads, burrata and bread, stuffed zucchini flowers, Bronzino. And of course a dessert and quite a bit of wine! I loved everything about this restaurant, even though I don't eat meat. We'll be back! Truly Spectacular!

The cast iron pan cauliflower was good. The charred octopus was a bit over charred for my son’s taste.

Don't miss burger night; best burger I've ever had! The milk roast pork loin is to die for and my first love is the Pollo alla diavola su Crostone is my first love. And you'll need to order two Focaccia di Recco . . . just sayin'. I have never had a bad meal or bad service at Chi Spacca. Everything is top notch. My favorite spot is at the cook's counter. Enjoy!!
