los angeles - hollywood: osteria mozza

tommy carbo loads at osteria mozza...

burrata with bacon, marinated escarole, caramelized shallots

squid ink chitarra freddi with dungenuess crab, sea urchin, jalapeno
linguine with clams, pancetta, spicy fresno chiles

ricotta & egg raviolo with browned butter 

tagliatelle with oxtail ragu

polenta

tommy says: burrata with bacon is one of the most delicious things ever. end of discussion.  the squid ink pasta is served cold and is very different compared to the other pastas and very good.  the linguine with clam was good, but the heat from the fresno chiles was pretty minimal.  the raviolo and oxtail ragu were both tasty and rich dishes.  the oxtail ragu is hearty and a favorite.  the polenta was ok.  all of the pastas were cooked nicely and the quality of the food has been consistent over multiple visits over the past couple of years or so.  for those wanting to try the pasta tasting menu (which i would highly recommend), beware - it is not offered on mondays... ok, so it actually is offered, but it is a meatless monday version, so... yeah...

The squid ink pasta dish here haunts me to this day.
