Obica Mozzarella Bar
is an Italian restaurant experience where you can stop in the midst of your
busy L.A. lifestyle and enjoy Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. Obica means “here
it is,” in Italian. The idea is that you stop and enjoy what is happening in
the moment. In this instance, savor your Italian food choice made in front of
you, inspired by sushi bars. Select from a combination of handmade mozzarellas,
grilled vegetables, olive oil, or a delicious Italian wine.The L.A. Obica is one of multiple Obica restaurants delivering
casual Italian dining experiences around the world. The L.A. destination is
conveniently located on the upper level of Westfield Century City Shopping
Center and offers aperitivo every day from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, when you can
sample a variety of small dishes and Mozzarella cheese. Also the patio is
available for private parties and events.Based on Silvio Ursini’s idea, the first Obica Mozzarella
Bar opened in May 2004. Ursini remains as the Obica Group’s president, managing
the restaurants internationally. Every restaurant now sources high quality,
specialty products, uses fresh and local ingredients; adheres to Slow Food
values of good, clean, fair food; and implements Roman design firm Labics’s
visual identity with natural materials such as wood blocks, textile panels, glass,
and iron. The New York Times
has called Obicà “Rome's and probably history's first Mozzarella Bar.” Call (310)
