Venice's favorite Italian — handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and an all-day vibe near the beach
Ospi on Pacific Avenue has been Venice's unofficial neighborhood trattoria since 2017: a California interpretation of a Brooklyn red sauce joint, fermentation-forward and locally sourced, with a tile-clad room and patio that feels genuinely at home steps from the beach. Jackson Kalb's approach is Southern Italian at its base — handmade pasta, wood-fired Roman-style pies, a wine list that treats the grapes seriously — but the execution is California-casual in the best way. The spicy vodka rigatoni has a cult following that precedes you by a decade; the crispy provolone is the table snack that prevents you from ordering everything else you should.
