The 24 Most Exciting Restaurants in Los Angeles Right Now
“Oste is one of only a few restaurants in the entire state that’s serving pinsa, or Roman-style pizza that utilizes dough with a high water concentration and allows it to rise in a long, cold fermentation process that results in a light and crunchy crust that’s more digestible, with almost 50% less sugar, 85% less fat, and 100% less cholesterol than your typical pie.”
“And it comes with a gorgeous outdoor dining area with a European flair.”
“Menu items and specialties including hamachi crudo, fresh pastas, lasagna, burrata-focused dishes, branzino and an extensive list of pinsa.”
“Speaking of flatbread pizzas, Oste on West Third Street has more formally opened now that state restrictions have allowed some on-site dining.”
“Co-owners Jocelyn Bulow of France and Alessandro Iacobelli relocated to Los Angeles to bring a new type of Roman street-food, pinsa, to Beverly Grove.”
Plus there are three different mussels dishes! I love mussels. I would also go with whatever wine they recommend with the food.
One of the newest LA restaurant openings is Oste (yes, there are restaurants opening in a pandemic), which is a dedicated pinseria serving a bevy of puffy, elongated pies that simply melt in your mouth.
And the good news is that most of it is pretty good. That said, if you’re looking for a change of pace from the many wood-fired and Detroit-style shops popping up around town, head to Oste.
The pizza is pinsa (Roman style) by Allesandro Iacobelli and wine by celebrated sommelier Tiffany Bulow, most recently of the Los Angeles concept Otium.
“The focus at Oste is on flatbreads, pasta, and wine.”
“you’ll be able to order from their short, concise menu of pinsa-style pizzas - an ancient dough recipe that’s made with a high concentration of water and endures a long, cold fermentation period.”
