Wonderful service and amazing view. Antonio was a great and insightful server who has been at O&O for 22 years! We had the tasting menu which was varied and had a great selection of local flavors. The beef was the highlight!

The multi-dimensional eatery is the perfect blend of Osteria Mozza, Pizza Mozza and chi SPACCA, and an inimitable East Cape flare that focuses on tantalizing seafood, fresh produce, and outstanding provisions of the area.

Mozza Baja is an expression of Nancy Silverton’s unique aesthetic and approach to cooking: focused but not fussy, straightforward and always uncompromising.
