Tier AChi Spacca FAQs
Chi Spacca means "one who cleaves or cuts" in Italian, referring to the restaurant's focus on whole-animal butchery and expert meat cutting. The name reflects Nancy Silverton's approach to honoring the entire animal through skilled butchery.
Chi Spacca is famous for its dry-aged beef, particularly the Tomahawk Ribeye and Bistecca Fiorentina. The restaurant focuses on whole-animal cooking with an Italian approach, featuring house-cured meats, bone marrow, and an impressive wine list curated for meat.
Chi Spacca is owned by Nancy Silverton and is part of her Mozza restaurant group on Melrose Avenue. It sits adjacent to Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza, completing her Italian-inspired culinary empire in Los Angeles.
Expect to spend $150-250 per person including drinks at Chi Spacca. Large-format steaks like the Tomahawk ($175) are meant to be shared. Starters, sides, and the excellent Italian wine list add up quickly but are worth it for a special occasion.
