chi SPACCA was borne of the wildly-popular family-style salumi night dinners hosted weekly at Scuola di Pizza, the previous occupant of the chi SPACCA space. Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in LA so that we could experiment and perfect It...

The place is a meat lover's paradise. Unique flavors, unique cuts, and lots of precise care. Tiny place so all seats are good, but worth trying the bar . Also focaccia is excellent. Unlike any I've had
The Bistecca alla Fiorentina would make grown carnivores cry. The house charcuterie is fantastic while other dishes like the bone marrow pie defy any person's sense of moderation. [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Best new restaurant winner 2013. Eat this: braised lamb neck in jus, beef and bone marrow pot pie , house-cured salumi . No reservation ? Wait for seats at the bar & chef Colby may serve you personally. Read more
The massive steaks , dry-aged in house and grilled to perfection, are the epitome of beef . Order a bottle of fantastic wine and you'll be ensured a legendary meal. Read more
Everything is good!!! The octopus melt in your mouth, so does the mashed potato ! The focaccia is a must and to finish it with a flourish...the Budino!
Fantastic experience! HIGHLY recommend sitting at bar where you can chat with the chefs ! Highlights include any & all meats (cured & cooked), roasted cauliflower , calamari & bacon wrapped sweetbreads .
Focaccia and beef ribs at sooo good and tasty!! Small place and desserts are not bad but appetizers and main courses r great!!
Holy beefsteak ! A most delicious Bistek Florentine! Better than any I had in Tuscany , and we've had a few! The focaccia is a must try dish.
Enjoy some of L.A.’s best charcuterie , and let whiffs of the wood-burning oven stir your appetite—you’ll want room for the rosemary-spiked olive oil cake .
Honestly one of the best meat in town ???? if you are a meat lover, you MUST eat here
Fish or Steak you can't go wrong either way. On the meat side I recommend the Pork Chop , Short Rips, & the cured meats .
Incredible cured meats , cured on the premises, the best focaccia I've ever had by far, and awesome meats in general.
The focaccia di recca is the most inexpensive (and best) thing on the menu.
The fennel pollen pork chop , cheesy bread and broccoli we're all amazing.
Honestly one of the best meals I have ever had. The bone marrow meat pie is the tops.
“Large-format meats (like a 48-ounce bistecca fiorentina) roasted or grilled over fire. Simple and perfect.” - Peter Jon Lindberg Read more
Meat sweats are worth it. Also try the focaccia .
Everything on the menu is amazing, but very rich. You may feel queasy afterwards
Affetati Misti, Little Gems Salad , Razor Clams , Tomahawk Chop , She'll Beans
Amazing creative Italian cuisine . I even ate the culatello!
You can rent the the entire restaurant if you have a big enough party
Absolutely fabulous! Significantly more impressed by my meal here than Osteria Mozza.
The Tomahawk Pork Chop is one of the most amazing dishes... Ever. Serious.
The pork chop is 98% fat. The meat that was left was great, but three people only got one bite of meat each. For the price, disappointing. Everything else, including the staff , was great.
The salumi and lardo shouldn't be missed!

Focaccia di Recco
Start with the drink Refreshing. Cavatelli is a must. Beef Heart Tartare, Octopus Carpacio, Mussels, spaghetti Mancini, Orata, Zeppole & Chocolate Budino. - Simple Foodie
Chicken liver crostini is delicious, as are the macherroni and the gnóc. Also highly recommend the rice pudding. - Andrei Marinescu
