I went here for my birthday dinner for the first time and the food was very good! Their fries were amazing- perfectly crunchy when you bite into it and flavorful. Their branzino dish was good as well. Their tiramisu was the best I’ve had in an Italian restaurant- it wasn’t too sweet and full of alcohol compared to other places I’ve tried. I would definitely come back again!
Hands down one of the best restaurant in Los Angeles. We ordered 3 different appetizers and 3 different main dishes one better and more delicious than the other. I wanted to impress 2 of my friends from out of town they weren’t just impressed they were amazed by the taste and the quality of the food. Great vibes. friendly servers. The attention to the details is flawless. This is one of my favorite restaurants without a doubt.

A gem in LA. I can strongly say that they have the best Italian pizza (pinsa) in LA. The dough was super crispy and the burrata cheese can't go wrong with the fresh tomato sauce and olive oil. (My picture doesn't do justice! All the dishes I had were better than the photos) Vongole pasta and beef tartare were great as well. But pizza was apparently their specialty!!! I'll be coming back with my family and friends for the pizza. Pinsa~ This place definitely made my night.
Great ambience. Super nice and attentive staffs. Family-friendly place. But the valet parking was a little expensive ($12).

Got the quatro formagi pizza, homemade bread , burrata as well as Pasta (unpuctured).
All of the food was exceptional. The service was top notch as well as the taste of every dish. The olive oil was high quality & the blue cheese on the pizza was a unique, flavourful touch.
10/10 would go back. Also, their outdoor seating area was well spaced out & nice.

We came here after an art show. The food was so fresh and delicious and the sizes of the plates and pizzas were just the way I like it, “BIG”. We ordered the arugula salad which comes with cherry tomatoes and large slices of Parmesan cheese. Was enough for two people to share. We ordered the Burrata Al pesto which was very delicious and a first time for us to eat it not in the traditional way. Later I ended dipped my fungi slice of pizza in it. We ordered the margarita and the fungi pizza and had plenty of leftovers for the next day. Lovely atmosphere and an amazing selection of wine.

Amazing service and food! Pizza (pinsa) was fantastic - airy yet crunchy crust, can’t go wrong with any of the selections. Branzino was juicy with delicious crispy skin.
Note that they only take reservations for groups of 4+.

I was transported back to #italy???????? last night thanks to the chef behind @ostelosangeles ! Their take on #pizza , called “pinsa”, takes this most beloved dish to the NEXT LEVEL! Words cannot accurately describe the delicate, crispy crust that lays a foundation to the most delicious toppings! You MUST experience this with your tastebuds to fully understand and appreciate the love that goes into each of these beauties!!

It's a very welcoming relaxing the little new spot in this hip town!
The waitress lady was very attentive & warm! She recommended:
the Octopus (Polpo Al Cavolfiore) 2 -star.
The platting was amazingly but not the taste. The Octopus was overly soft...like a loss of 'soul'...perhaps it should be
a bit of chewy as it's charred...w/a bit of ocean freshness... missing of something taste fresh & brine as of seafood supposed to be.
Burrata Al Pesto:
1 star
A good chunk of Burrata cheese sat in the center of the plate, swimming in pesto sauce w/English peas. The presentation is beautiful. The Pesto sauce is rather way too oily w/bitter taste. English peas were totally sink in this over-powering pesto sauce stopping me to rescue them! Burrata did not shine at all as of a star in this plate...(wondering where r u sourced it from...?)
Suppli Al Tartufo (Truffle Rice Ball):
5-star!
Truffle flavored deep fried rice ball w/mushroom filling is amazing!
It's truffle yummy good , it's even more flavorful w/aioli dipping! 5-star!

Visiting LA, I expected to be smitten with the incredible Korean and Japanese cuisine, however Oste completely changed my mind. Never did I expect that the Italian would take the cake as my favorite food in LA!
Came upon this spot by accident while walking over to LACMA and bookmarked it for later. So incredibly glad I did!
Absolutely everything we ate raised the bar for that particular cuisine:
The burrata was tender and perfectly balanced by the homemade tomato sauce.
The pizza was incredible. The sauce perfectly balanced, the cheese scrumptious, and the crust likely some of the best crust I've ever had!
All that being said, it was the octopus that truly blew my mind. Never in my life have I experienced such tender octopus. So incredibly soft with subtle flavors from the EVOO and light sauce.
Lastly, the service was impeccable! Very attentive, very friendly, very very helpful.
Overall, just wow, would come back here every chance I get
