Ospi - Dallas

Ospi is short for ospitante - meaning "host" in Italian. The sophomore restaurant of Jackson & Melissa Kalb, Ospi is an elevated celebration of a classic Brooklyn red sauce joint. Part modern Italian, part classic Italian, Ospi is our version of a casual lunch trattoria, familial dinner restaurant, and recovery brunch spot on the weekends. Welcome to our dinner party.

Ospi brings its signature modern Southern-Italian cooking to the Dallas Design District, pairing genuine hospitality with the vibrant energy of one of Dallas’s premier dining neighborhoods. Chef Jackson Kalb (of Top Chef ) originally founded the concept in Venice, California, with an irresistible vodka sauce and a menu centered around handmade pastas, crispy romana-tonda pizzas, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Designed for lively dinners, leisurely lunches, and brunch with friends, Ospi Dallas is a neighborhood restaurant with the feel of your favorite dinner party at a friend's home.
