Heralded as a "meat speakeasy" by Food & Wine Magazine, chi SPACCA has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience, where accompaniments like the Foccacia di Recco, warm salted Medjool dates, and Culatello & Puglia burrata are just sideshows for the rest of Chef Alisa Vannah's wood-fired menu which features a 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop, a 36-ounce dry-aged bone-in New York Costata alla Fiorentina, and a 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse Bistecca Fiorentina.Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in Los Angeles so that we could experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house.

    My son and I went to Water Grill for Mother's Day and had a wonderful late lunch/early dinner. It has been some time since we have been there, but the restaurant was lovely and bright. A little loud but not horribly so. We had a 3:30 pm reservation and were seated within minutes of arrival. The menu has a good variety with so many choices. We had a sampler of oysters, which were delicious! The clam chowder was the best I have had. I ordered the shrimp Louis salad which came deconstructed and was so yummy and my son had the black cod with soba noodle, which was a little spicy but so very good. Can't wait to come back and try the other tempting offerings. Highly recommend. Thanks Water Grill for a delicious Mother's Day!!

    We were celebrating our friend’s 40th Anniversary and our server Drew made it very special!! He started us with a glass of bubbly! He was very attentive and so was the whole staff. The food was outstanding. It was our second time to the restaurant and definitely go back again and again.
