After many years of hard work from her kitchen in Italy, Mamma Loredana decided to share her original recipes with the southern California area. In March of 2010, Mamma Loredana, with the help of her family, opened a true and traditional Italian Osteria, Osteria Mamma. You can expect the true taste of the Veneto region in all of their dishes.

An LA institution, Osteria Mozza is the brainchild of Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich and Nancy Silverton. In an origin story that has become restaurant lore, Mario asked Nancy to lead the pastry and bread department at the nascent Del Posto in New York. Nancy declined. Two years later, the two set out to collaborate on a Los Angeles project and Pizzeria Mozza was born. After a series of delays, Osteria Mozza followed. And the rest is history.

Pizzeria Mozza pizza is really good because of its simplicity. It’s for those with a sophisticated palette. They aren’t bombarding you with tons of cheese or ingredients – just a few ingredients so you can taste each one. It’s masterful.
