The Resy Guide to the 2024 Los Angeles Michelin Guide Winners

When the man behind Koreatown’s crowd-pleasing Lock & Key joins up with two chefs from Alain Ducasse’s acclaimed Blue in Bangkok to open a French bistro with contemporary accents in the Arts District, you know something special is going to happen in the kitchen. Dazzling cocktails, an impeccable burger, and a first-class wine list seal the deal.

It’s no surprise Massimo Bottura’s entry into Los Angeles made a splash: Bottura’s finessed take on Florentine cooking resonates everywhere. In this case, a partnership with Gucci, and chef Mattia Agazzi’s interpretation of Californian ingredients, boosts the experience even further.

Nancy Silverton is a legend in Los Angeles dining, from her early days at Spago and Campanile to her current mini-empire. And Osteria Mozza is at its heart, a tribute to both the Italian cooking she’s perfected over the years but also to the modern style of L.A. Angelenos know the key dishes well, like the ricotta and egg ravioli with brown butter. And of course, Silverton’s cherished mozzarella bar lives on.

Osteria Mozza is bookable by members of Global Dining Access by Resy.

Cobi’s is a celebration of Asian street food — Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Indian, and more, opened by Cobi Marsh (Cobi’s Curries) on the site of Dhaba, a local favorite for Indian food for half a century. Pro tip: Score a table on the homey, greenery-framed covered outdoor patio.

Here’s how to get in.

Darren and Jean Coyle have found a truly novel interpretation of Irish cooking at their Orange County restaurant. Think Guinness brown bread next to cold-smoked yellowtail, beet agnolotti, and, yes, fish and chips. Their children Ali and Drew handle a deft beverage program.

Located on the border of Echo Park and Historic Filipinotown, Grá, which means “love” in Gaelic, focuses on everything fermented, from sourdough pizzas topped with punchy ingredients (and seasonal ferments) to pickles and natural wines. Get The Banger, which includes buffalo mozzarella, salami, ‘nduja, fermented mustard seeds, and honey; and do know that a meal here should start with kimchi and pickled cucumbers.

Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo have staked a claim on Italian American fare seen through a California lens. The Fairfax mainstay is hip, fun, and family-friendly, and for good reason: The pizzas, pasta, and specialty soft-serve ice cream practically define comfort food excellence.

At Kismet, the melding of Mediterranean and Californian flavors is executed with utmost perfection, resulting in vibrant and tangy food that’s both memorable and crave-worthy. It’s a place you’ll want to bring everyone you know, and not just because sharing is encouraged.

The food at this sensation is unique yet comforting, with a distinct point of view. There are wings, sliders, tenders, thin-crust pizzas, pasta, and soft serve, all done with an Indian spin — and the kitchen doesn’t shy away from spice. Haven’t been yet? Don’t let rumors of long waits and tough tables scare you off.

Here’s how to get in.

Just like the original in Silver Lake, this airy South Park spot serves craveable Taiwanese and Chinese dishes, like beef rolls, potstickers, dan dan noodles, and more. Pro tip: Whatever fresh, green vegetable is available, get it.

Italian pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi breaks the rules of his homeland to craft the riveting neo-Neapolitan pies at Pizzana, and there’s no better taste of Napoli meets L.A. There’s a reason the cacio e pepe pizza has been widely heralded, but don’t miss the desserts, overseen by Candace Nelson, who made her name as a goddess of sweets with Sprinkles Cupcakes.

What else is there to say about Pizzeria Mozza, which has become one of the most influential restaurants in the city? Nancy Silverton’s destination pizzeria remains one of the best spots around.

You won’t be able to decide between a whole thick-and-crisp-edged pizza, slices of chewy Sicilian squares, or a piece of fluffy tomato pie. And there’s no way you’re skipping a slice of cake after either. Just know you’re here to enjoy and indulge in a significant amount of glorious carbs (and natural wine) at this wildly popular Echo Park spot.

In true izakaya fashion, this chic little spot is handsomely decorated and wonderful for grazing over various small plates with excellently curated sake to go with everything. It may only be a few blocks away from Dodger Stadium, but it feels like you could’ve stumbled upon it in a corner of Tokyo.
