MOLTO LOS ANGELES

Planning your next corporate event in Los Angeles? Let Magic Martinis & Mario create an evening to remember at Mario's newest hotspot in Los Angeles - Osteria Mozza.

Osteria Mozza website

Sharing the corner of Highland and Melrose with Pizzeria Mozza is Osteria Mozza, which opened to eager Angelinos in the summer of 2007. In the heart of this brand new Osteria rests Nancy Silverton's free standing Mozzarella Bar-the pivot of Nancy, Joe and Mario's creation-both literally and figuratively. Here, Nancy prepares a wide array of fresh items from Mozzarella, Burrata, Bocconcini, Strachiatella and many more.

Osteria Mozza recently announced the opening of the "Primo Ministro Room." Accommodating up to 24 guests, blood red walls and towering wine racks provide a dramatic setting in which to enjoy the heralded cuisine from Chef Matt Molina and Nancy Silverton's kitchen as overseen by Mario Batali. Dishes such as Roasted Rack of Veal, Salt Baked Ocean Trout and Risotto al Barolo are finished tableside and served by a highly trained staff.
