Very bad service
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/25/2008 Posted by newangelina

Since I love Italian cuisine, I was very excited to go to Osteria Mozza with my husband. However, my disappointment started even before we got seated. We had a reservation for 9.30 but we were not seated until 10.15.... no one apologized. Anyway, once seated, we still had to wait at least 15 min to get bread and water. Our waiter was nice but was not very knowledgeable about the items on the menu (did not exactly know how the meat was prepared, did not know if the biscotti were made with almonds, etc.). The food was average: we got two antipasti (mozzarella di buffala + mussels) that were pretty good. Then, we ordered two beef dishes and I must say that the meat was not good: 1/3 of my beef piece was pure fat and the sauce was so strong that I could not taste the meat at all. Overall, my husband and I were disappointed with Mozza, especially when we got the check of $115 (with no drinks!) There are much better (and more affordable!) italian restaurants in L.A

Pros: good selection of italian cheeses

Cons: service, price
