Osteria Mozza is an Italian dining establishment located in Hollywood, California, distinguished by its Michelin star status.
The restaurant was founded in 2007 through a collaboration between Nancy Silverton, New York-based chef Mario Batali, and his partner Joseph Bastianich. Before launching the main Osteria Mozza venue, they introduced Pizzeria Mozza next door, adopting a concept reminiscent of Silverton's prior achievement with La Brea Bakery.
Following its initial success, Osteria Mozza broadened its presence with additional sites in Newport Beach, California (where Pizzeria Mozza ceased operations in October 2024), as well as international and domestic expansions to Singapore and Georgetown. The original Hollywood location now features Mozza2Go alongside Chi Spacca, a third establishment focusing on meat-centric dishes.
Awards and accolades
The restaurant earned a four-star rating from the Los Angeles Times, while the New York Times characterized it as a "serious and impressive restaurant." It was recognized as a contender for Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation during its inaugural year and secured a Michelin star in 2008. Osteria Mozza successfully maintained its Michelin star in the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide for California.
Although the full menu attracted widespread praise, Silverton’s antipasti selection, particularly her Mozzarella bar, received special commendation. According to Zagat's, she has "perfected the art of cheese."
