One Star: High quality cooking

A perennial hit since opening (expect a wait), this decade-old darling continues to please with creative cocktails and Italian cuisine. The décor veers from typical osteria-style, thanks to handsome dark-wood paneling and a white marble counter but nab a seat at the Mozza bar for a prime view of the antipasti preparation.
Bread is something of an obsession here, as is the mozzarella menu. Chef Nancy Silverton's team strives to show you around the corners of Italian cooking, The crispy chicken leg is pure and simple comfort food, and pastas are unsurprisingly phenomenal—try the orecchiette with sausage and Swiss chard. Rosemary olive oil cake dusted with powdered sugar, topped with caramelized sugar rosemary brittle and sided by olive oil gelato is the perfect ending.
