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.

    SALT offers a beautiful venue. Due to outstanding weather we were able to dine outside. Service at times was a bit slow but the staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. While we waited for our party to arrive we enjoyed drinks on the bar patio. The bartenders are awesome and mix excellent drinks. The food was outstanding. Most of our party ordered the chicken and French toast. So yummy! I enjoyed the salmon Benedict which was delicious and the eggs were perfectly done. I chose salad for my side and it was fresh and tasty.

    The food was great as always. The service was great as well. We went in a large group and they were able to accommodate us. It didn’t feel too cold in the outdoor area with the heaters around even though it is February. They even gave us champagne to cheers since we were celebrating a birthday. We all really enjoyed the evening here
