as from the last post, i had the privilege of complimentary dining at pizzeria mozza last mon prior to their official opening.

and today, piggy was able to bring a person along with him for complimentary dining at osteria mozza.

they are the same restaurant but split into 2 with different dining concepts each.

forgot to bring a cam today, and my lousy bb cam doesnt capture the food nicely, so online pics again!!

Grilled Octopus with potatoes, celery & lemon
Mozza does octopus and squid very nicely! done just right.

Crispy Pigs Trotter with cicoria & mustard
Dont really like this. the filling was some gooey thing. i heard made of gelatin or something. but the salad was nice though.

Burrata with bacon, marinated escarole & carmelized shallots
They have a whole section on the menu for cheese starters. skipped it when we were ordering because jy said the serving was huge and i HATE stinky cheese so he dint ordered because its quite impossible to finish it alone. But after the whole meal, he wanted to try and proceeded to order one serving, expecting a huge chuck of it. was surprised that it came bruschetta styled and the cheese was surprisingly good. non of the foul cheese taste! Was glad that he decided to order it.

Some pasta with duck ragu

Cant rmb the name of the pasta. Its a very thick noodle like pasta, not the one in the pic. The serving was surprisingly small. (for $25) I guess the pastas are meant for sharing because the meat dishes we ordered are in a bigger portion (of course higher priced) and i guess thats the 'real' main course?


Pan Roasted Sea Beam

After the pasta came, we expected the fish dish to be in super small portion like those fine dining places. we were shocked when the fish was placed in front of us. it was a WHOLE fish, they de-boned it and roasted it. not a fan of fish, so to me it was so-so, but jy loved it cause it was super fresh.


Grilled Beef Tagliata rucola & Parmigiano with aceto balsamico

BEEF!!! need i say more?!!???!! okay its less chao dar and more reddish in the middle, more bloody which is LOVE! the best dish that i had (well its beef), but not nice enough to beat the one at mezza9 at hyatt hotel. but its goood, super good.



Bombolini
mountain huckleberry marmellata& vanilla gelato

Its dessert time! this is my dessert! the round round thing its something like doughnuts, super nice! but the berries and the cream below the gelato was too sour for me!


Couldnt find jy's dessert on the original menu from LA, so no pics i guess. His was something like our chinese eggrolls aka love letter with gelato stuff inside. His was better than mine in my opinion, but was actually too full to consider it super delicious!


Overall a very good experience and great food! but value for money pizzeria mozza is better, but more choices of food at Osteria since pizzeria only serves pizzas as mains.


YAY to complimentary =p great food! if not i guess i will never pay to go to the restaurant by choice. =) =)
