Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Universal City

Had been wanting to try Chi Spacca for awhile as we love the others in the Mozza family. Small but cute place. Beer and wine only (like Pizzeria Mozza). We took our server’s suggestion for the dates, bread and veal tongue appetizers, Caesar salad, chicken dish and a smaller than their regular menu pork chop tomahawk (they were out of the regular size pork chop on their menu) and mashed potatoes. All were excellent. The veal tongue was an entire plate - huge portion. The chicken dish was 1/2 a chicken, the pork chop was enough for 4 people. We left with an entire grocery bag of leftovers. It was ridiculous! A server should always inform customers of the portion sizes. We eat out a LOT and have never experienced such a poor communication on how much food we should order.

This is my third time at Pizzeria Mozza and it is always exceptional. The food is out of this world and the service is always wonderful. I wish I caught some folks’ names to give them a shout out, but truly all of the staff are so kind and helpful. I only wish there were a location closer to me in NELA. It’s a very special place and I can’t recommend it enough for any occasion.

This was my second visit & nothing disappointing!! Our party of 4 all enjoyed what we ordered! Portions, presentations, spices, fabulous! Felt like I was dining in a New York restaurant 🤣 To us this is a more pricey dinner out but I’d rather have this dining experience than two mediocre ones! Enjoy!

Amazing experience!! I would definitely recommend to anyone I know!

This is my 3rd time coming to the front yard. And my first dinner reservation instead of lunch. This place REALLY continues to impress me. The service in particular is mind blowing and that is harder to find in LA than good food and drink. If that is an important part of your dining experience, then this place will be very comforting to you in that regard. The food and drink itself are also amazing. Extremely interesting and unique combinations, clearly high-quality ingredients. And the flavors are perfect every time. It’s just such a thoughtful experience. They seem very focused on ensuring their standards and quality remain consistent. There are so many options for people with different dietary restrictions. You can come here if you like to avoid gluten, if you are vegan or if you are a steadfast carnivore. It’s a 5 star experience, so come experience it today!
