On 4th Street in downtown LA, Orsa & Winston's understated brick facade opens into a cozy, 30-seat room lined with warm timber and a calm open kitchen counter.

Chef Josef Centeno weaves Italian and Japanese traditions together: satsuki rice porridge with sea urchin and geoduck, handmade pasta with shaved truffles, and charcoal-grilled Japanese beef.

Intimate and unhurried; Centeno's culinary voice is completely singular, delivering surprising harmonies that feel natural and deeply satisfying.

Holding a Michelin star, Orsa & Winston reflects downtown LA's creative cross-cultural culinary identity at the highest artistic level.
