Here's What You'll Be Eating at Mozza's Chi Spacca Tonight

By Lesley Balla

As promised, Mozza's new meat-centric Chi Spacca, which means "to chop" not "cleaver," debuts tonight next to Mozza 2 Go. It's basically a renaming of the Scuola di Pizza space, with a few more tables added in front of the open kitchen. Chef Chad Colby has made a home here, first with his charcuterie and pig dinner nights, which has now segued into a nightly restaurant featuring his house-cured salumi, roasted double pork chop, veal and bone marrow pie, and a whopping 80-ounce bistecca fiorentina which tips the scales at $311. There are some salads and desserts to round things out - check out the full menu below. The weekend family-style nose-to-tail feasts continue on Saturday nights.

Open Monday through Friday, there are two seatings: 6 and 8:15 PM. Walk-ins will be accommodated at the kitchen counter starting at 5:30 PM. Just as with the other Mozzas, reservations are taken 30 days in advance to the day. If you're feeling lucky, there are a few spots for tonight on OpenTable, but you have to use your credit card to reserve - no outsies!
