Chef/owner Nicola is one of the top Italian chefs in LA. He is at the center of Osteria Vera, in their open kitchen, preparing and overseeing the preparation of everything. His food is delicious. We had the Hamachi crudo, topped with lemon and shaved bottarga, the Lechuga salad, another pasta dish with spaghetti and more bottarga (our favorite) and the roast duck. I love duck and this was prepared perfectly; meaty and tender pieces with crisp skin. The service was excellent; friendly, attentive, well paced.

This has become our new favorite restaurant on the westside. The food is spectacular, which is something you mist hear often. The watstaff however is most excellent. We made a reservation including a wheelchair user and found that the hostess had planned for us, preparing a very accessible table , removing the chair and graciously directed ua to our seat without need to mention. Likewise, our disabled party member requires a straw to drink since raising the glass is not possible. Not only did the waitstaff rapidly secure a straw when asked, he noticed as our meal went on that we might be better served with a taller glass that better positions the straw. He subtlety came with a new glass and straw which made our meal more enjoyable. These kindnesses seem small, but never in the past 10 years dinig in the westside have we encountered such a thoughtful, kind and professional waitstaff. Thank you. We will become regular patrons. cacio de pepe , egglpant rolls, tortelli and gnocchi are the best we have tast
