Ospi Brentwood

These bad reviews must be from when this location was still Jenna di Mare, which was not good. I went to the new Ospi last night and it was 4.5 stars! I highly recommend going. They had an issue with my reservation for 6 ppl not saving properly on a very busy night, but they still figured out a way to accommodate us quickly. Appetizers: calamari, kale salad & cauliflower were all crowd pleasers Pizzas: vodka & margherita we delicious (super thin crust, great crust:sauce:cheese ratio and my favorite pizza in LA!!) Pastas: spicy rigatoni (fine but a little light on the sauce), raschiatelli (good), bolognese (good) - none of the pastas blew me away and I think are better overall at Ospi Venice Entrees: butter chicken and crispy sole were soooo good Dessert: tiramisu espresso soft serve sundae was also great

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, been a few times now, and each experience has been excellent! Our server was also excellent, very knowledgeable, nice, attentive! Our favorites and no particular order : Spicy rigatoni, à la vodka sauce, if you want to add protein, I highly recommend the meatballs Chicken Parm with vodka sauce Caesar salad Kale almond salad Spaghetti and meatballs Thank you very much, my family and I will definitely be back to try more!

Me and my boyfriend absolutely loved the dinner at Ospi! Every single dish we tried was so flavorful and well-executed. The Spicy Eggplant Parm was a standout—perfectly crispy, rich, and had just the right amount of heat. The Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly dressed, easily one of the best I've had and the pizza with mushrooms and caramelized onions was next-level delicious. The crust was spot-on, and the sweet-savory combo of the toppings really worked. The vibe is relaxed but upscale, and the service was great. You can tell they really care about the food they’re putting out. Highly recommend—we will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic Happy Hour the food and drinks are great values. Order multiple dishes (2-3) because the plates are small during Happy Hour. The spicy rigatoni & kale salad are a must!

It was our daughter and son in law’s turn to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They chose Jemma Di Mare in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and it was an exquisite experience. This charming restaurant, curated by the talented husband and wife team, Jackson and Melissa Kalb, truly embodies the essence of a neighborhood gem. Located in the heart of Brentwood, Jemma Di Mare offers a delightful menu featuring hand-rolled pastas, seafood classics with a creative twist, sandwiches, and salads, all crafted from locally sourced, market-driven ingredients. As a seafood-focused Italian American restaurant, they excel in delivering a memorable dining experience. Their menu boasts a range of signature dishes, from timeless classics like linguine alle vongole and spicy eggplant parmesan to contemporary interpretations like polenta cake with Kaluga caviar and kanpachi crudo siciliana. My personal highlight was the spicy homemade rigatoni pasta with vodka sauce; it was a culinary masterpiece. The pasta had the perfect al dente texture, and the flavors were simply outstanding. To kick off the meal, the garlic bread was heavenly and set the tone for what was to come. The service at Jemma Di Mare was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. To top it off, they surprised us with a delightful birthday dessert, which added a sweet touch to the celebration.
