Description

The carnivorous heart of Nancy Silverton’s “Mozzaplex” is as strong as ever. A modern Italian take on the old-school steakhouse, the restaurant boasts a steady menu of classics that seem to have only gotten better with age. Is there a better beginning than the indulgent focaccia di recco? Is there a chicken more compelling than the pollo alla diavola? The team makes the most of smoke and live fire, as big proteins pass through the wood-burning oven. Indeed, this is hearty cooking that is seasoned boldly and keenly seasonal, served in a space that is intimate and energized at once. A superb win

Review summary

Chi Spacca, led by Nancy Silverton, specializes in meat-centric Italian cuisine, particularly wood-fired steaks. Reviewers frequently praise the high quality of ingredients and precise cooking, highlighting items like focaccia and smash burgers. However, criticisms note issues with excessive saltiness, inconsistent preparation, and a strict policy against well-done steaks. The atmosphere is lively but often noisy, with some guests reporting slow pacing or indifferent service. While the food quality is generally considered exceptional, concerns regarding value and occasional service lapses persist. It is best suited for diners prioritizing premium grilled meats over ambiance or flexibility in cooking preferences.
