Chi Spacca

Before anything else, let’s talk about the focaccia di Recco at Chi Spacca—easily one of the best dishes in all of Los Angeles. Thin, crisp, stuffed with molten stracchino cheese, it’s salty, chewy, and downright addictive. But none of it would exist without Nancy Silverton. Quietly one of LA’s most important chefs, she’s the driving force behind Chi Spacca and the entire Mozza empire. While others chase trends, Nancy just makes food taste unbelievably good. Chi Spacca is her love letter to meat, fire, and flavor—massive steaks, epic pork chops, and the legendary beef-and-bone marrow pie. Even the vegetables are packed with soul. It’s rustic, intimate, and deeply satisfying—just like Nancy’s cooking.
