Feedback
Ospi presents a vibrant mix of pasta-driven cuisine, highlighted by frequent praises for its homemade dishes like the Cacio e Pepe and Spicy Rigatoni. The atmosphere is lively, though diners often experience quick table turnover, which may detract from the overall dining experience. While some guests laud the attentive service, others note occasional lapses in attentiveness. Menu highlights include crispy provolone and hearty meatballs, but portion sizes and pricing may raise eyebrows. Despite its inconsistent execution, many agree that the flavors are compelling enough to warrant a return visit, especially for pasta enthusiasts.
Parking must be considered in the planning process for any restaurant. OSPI has parking nearby but even now,so long after opening, OSPI has failed to coordinate a parking agreement with parking facilities directly across the street. The linguini is delicious. However the individual cooking the pasta is in need of further training as on inspection the pasta showed more than just slight under cooking. If you cut your pasta and the cross section shows 40% to 50% bright white, it's not cooked completely through. Cocktails that run nineteen dollars each are a thing if they're astonishing, not if they're merely the cocktail you make at home in a different glass. The lemon curd dessert was off the hook. The ricotta toast appetizer is a must have. The meatballs appetizer is good. The lobster with pistachio liontittie knocked me out it was so good.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Service was very pleasant but really slow. The bill for 3 appetizers, 2 glasses of wine, 1 pizza, 4 dinners and 2 desserts came out to about $380. Granted it was a lot of food and everything but for one of the pastas was top notch. Neverthless, it was quiet expensive for a dinner out with family. In-kind app helped me write off about 30% of the bill plus $50 bonus for being a member, so it was a decent value at $240. The issue is that it would have been way too much at the original price, at least for two working professionals with kids. I don't know who is affording these prices on a regular basis. The place was full.
Food was great and service was flawless! Love their fig salad. A perfect combination of sweet and savory!
Typical Italian dishes, successful. I loved the breaded povolone with tomato vodka sauce
Ospi Venice is easily one of the best dining spots in Venice! We ordered the cavatelli, the pepperoni pizza, and the tiramisu, and every dish was outstanding. The cavatelli was perfectly cooked with amazing texture and rich flavor. The pepperoni pizza had that signature Ospi crisp crust and high-quality toppings that make it unforgettable. And the tiramisu was light, creamy, and the perfect finish to the meal. The service was friendly, the atmosphere felt relaxed but upscale, and everything came out fresh and fast. If you’re looking for great pasta, incredible pizza, and a consistently top-tier restaurant experience in Venice, CA, Ospi is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
