Heralded as a "meat speakeasy" by Food & Wine Magazine, chi SPACCA has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience, where accompaniments like the Foccacia di Recco, warm salted Medjool dates, and Culatello & Puglia burrata are just sideshows for the rest of Chef Armen Ayvazyan's wood-fired menu which features a 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop, a 36-ounce dry-aged bone-in New York Costata alla Fiorentina, and a 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse Bistecca Fiorentina.

Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in Los Angeles so that we could experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house.

From the OpenTable editors: Anyone who can’t imagine a celebration dinner without meat—and lots of it—should go straight to this upscale Tuscan steakhouse. Part of chef Nancy Silverton’s Mozza empire, Chi Spacca zeroes in on butcher-inspired mains like a 50-ounce bistecca Fiorentina and tomahawk pork chop. The supporting characters on the menu are just as impressive, and so is the massive Italian wine list. Add a candlelit dining room, and you’ve got all the essentials for a big night out.

It was a Chinese family, the parents could care less (typical behavior) & really partition ruined our parties vibe. I was ready to make a move to tell off the parents but held back.. we’re not at IHOP for christs sake! The host did see this happening , it’s a small restaurant, but did nothing about it. Hopefully this will not happen again! Btw I’m Asian myself & see this type of wanton disregard by Chinese parents in regards to their children’s behavior on planes, cruises, trains etc… I’ve seen it one too many times, never thought I’d see it at this type of establishment…it’s disgusting & pathetic behavior!

The host, server Michael, and busser were just all superb. The restaurant is small and intimate. Four chefs work in a spotless, open kitchen immediately adjacent to the eating area. The noise level got a bit high (hardwood floors and hard surfaces throughout) when the seating filled up but it was not problematic. The cost for dinner for two totaled $250 which included all courses, salad, starters, sides, two desserts, coffee and 20% tip. Not cheap in my view, but worth every penny.
