Ospi is now open in the former Meddlesome Moth space, bringing a high-energy, West Coast-inspired pasta spot to the Design District. Expect hand-stretched pastas, a strong cocktail program, and an airy, skylit space with two patios, one perfect for date night and the other for drinks and lounging.

OSPI
Chef Jackson Kalb, known from Top Chef, trained at Alinea and Joël Robuchon and spent time in Italy refining his pasta craft. He opened the original Ospi in Venice Beach, helping grow the concept to four California locations, and is now bringing Ospi No. 5 and that same focus on handmade pasta to Dallas!
WHAT TO ORDER
Start with the Dallas-exclusive focaccia, then go for the spicy rigatoni! The menu leans into hand-stretched pastas, pulled on site by The Pasta Man (Mateo Zielonka), along with crispy romana-tonda pizzas. The cucumber martini is a Dallas exclusive and so worth ordering, and there are plenty of solid gluten-free options across the menu.
P.S. We heard the kale salad is Kristen Bell‘s favorite dish!
HAPPY HOUR
Stop by for happy hour daily from 3-5:30pm, grab a cucumber martini or one of their mini cocktail flights!
