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 Italian charcuterie techniques in house. The intimate dining room has a warm glow, with candlelit tables surrounded by walls lined with wine.

Segreto! ~the secret cut~ We only have a few of these every so often. Pork shoulder with anchovy, caper, shallot, and a lotta lemon segments. Fat acid salt, ya know? 🥹

11/10/2022

The focaccia is a perfect food, but what the heck - why not dress it up with Italian black truffles? ‘tis the season!

11/04/2022

Braised goat belly with so many spices, and fried rosemary.

11/03/2022

Pear, avocado, treviso, and cocktail onions with gorgonzola vinaigrette. Pretty fancy and sophisticated, huh?

10/26/2022

Grilled calamari skewers are slathered with a healthy dose of spicy romesco. Cover a boot with this sauce, and we’d probably eat that too.

Our Story

Nestled between Mozza2Go and Osteria Mozza, chi SPACCA– Italian for “he who cleaves”– has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience.

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 Italian charcuterie techniques in house. Open daily for dinner, chi SPACCA is an “ode to meat, beautiful meat.“

The intimate dining room has a warm glow, with candlelit tables surrounded by walls lined with wine. It’s a vegetarian’s delight and a meat-eater’s heaven.
