About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for outdoor dining
Ospi (short for ospitante meaning "host" in Italian) by Jackson & Melissa Kalb is an elevated celebration of a classic Brooklyn red sauce joint with a counterculture twist, influenced by Venice, CA. Ospi is our version of a casual lunch trattoria, familial dinner restaurant, and recovery brunch spot on the weekends.

    Everything was delicious. We started with the Japanese Eggplant, which is a truly unique and delicious dish. We followed that with the Eggplant Parmigiana that is served in a skillet that is quite large and very flavorful alongside the Cavatelli pasta with black truffle also outstanding. It was our wedding anniversary dinner and we were surprised with a complementary wonderful and unique Tiramisu. Next time we must try a pizza.
