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.

    MICHELIN Plate

    2022

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.

    This is our second time at Chi Spacca and it's always a great experience. We've always enjoyed the ambience and the atmosphere. We've always enjoyed the open flame of the wood burning oven. It's a perfect space to enjoy a calm dinner with family or friends. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rustic Italian dinner.

    So so experience. Food took a long time to come out and was just ok. No real value perceived
    chi SPACCAResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Jean, We appreciate your feedback, this is of course helpful in aiding our improvement. Our large format steaks, done in the Fiorentina style do require a longer cooking time, as this is our signature methodology. We are sorry to hear the overall experience was lackluster as a result. We hope to have another opportunity to leave you more impressed. Best, Greer

    Great service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Food was nice, nothing exceptional. The wine list was very elaborate, one of the best Italian wine lists LA.

    Always great food and we love sitting at the counter. Our food came out a little cold this time, which was odd and unlike the restaurant (squash blossoms and tomahawk pork chop), which is difficult given the price. But the focaccia was hot and the gelato was delicious.
    chi SPACCAResponded 6 days ago
    H Jaclyn, Thank you for visiting us once again, we so appreciate your visits. We're truly so sorry to hear about the temperature of the food being subpar - this is noted and we hope to see you soon to ensure our proper standards are met. Thanks for the feedback. All the best, Greer

    Amazing service and outstanding food. Had the charcuterie board with wine to start. Ceasar salad and bread with the cultured butter was amazing. He steak was the show stopper. Perfectly cooked in full view the entire time and a perfect medium rare. My hats off to the guys on the grill and the wood fired oven. Amazing experience and can not say enough about the staff
