Mozzarella

Obikà Mozzarella Bar has opened a sleek, ultra-modern designed space at the Westfield Mall in Century City. It has other locations throughout Italy and one in New York, and this LA outpost totals the 14th location with one more planned for the Beverly Center. At Obikà, the main event is the Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP which proprietor Silvio Ursini flies in three times a week from Italy’s Paestum and Agro Pontino regions. Of course, with a name like Obikà Mozzarella Bar, patrons can expect a lengthy mozzarella menu, but Obikà also serves salads, pasta dishes, and other entrees, so not every dish comes with a scoop of mozzarella. And because the menu offers both small plates and entree-sized portions, this could be a lunch, dinner, or  join them for Italian happy hour “aperitivo hour” and order a glass of wine plus bites off the mozzarella bar menu.
