Literally....CLASS act of service AND food. Start out at rooftop bar....then have your mind blown with amazing pasta. We loved the squash blossoms too. Soooog exquisite. Then go home and watch Evan Funke in Noodles series on Netflix and appreciate it more read more

Cool place! The terrace/rooftop is the place to be. Inside is very loud/noisy. If you go, try to get a seat on the rooftop, while you wait you can enjoy a delicious cocktail at the bar upstairs. The Rib Eye is delicious and a must have here ;) I'll be back!! read more

You ask yourself is this hype or is it really that good? I'm here to tell you it is THAT good. I can go down the menu and advise you but everything we tried was truly great. The best option here is coming and ordering everything you would like to try! You can eat individually or do family style and share. I personally prefer my own pasta but to each their own. Another highlight here is you get to see some well dressed people, some celebs and get great service. read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant! Really good ambiance, good music, excellent food and service. Highly recommend!!

Funke is an experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is effortlessly elevated--sophisticated but not stuffy. The handmade pasta is the star (obviously), and you can taste the love in every bite, and it was beyond. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and everything from the wine list to the dessert is curated to perfection. It's one of those places where every detail feels intentional. Definitely worth the hype! read more

OVERPRICED DRINKS, UNPLEASANT HOSTESS & SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICE CHARGE!! I recently visited Funke and wanted to share my experience, which unfortunately included an unpleasant encounter with one of the staff members, hostess "Nico." While enjoying the ambiance of the restaurant and capturing a video to share with friends and Yelp community, I inadvertently included the hostess in the frame. Instead of politely addressing the situation, she made a rude remark that left me feeling uncomfortable. The hostess response was far from professional. Rather than calmly informing me of any policies against filming or politely asking not to be included, she made a comment that was unnecessary and rude. The encounter with the hostess left a negative impression that I hope the management will address. Aside from this interaction, the overall atmosphere and dining experience were enjoyable. Also beware of the additional 4% supplemental wellness charge that will be added to your bill to support back kitchen according to the waitress. read more

Look, so we've been wanting to go to evan funke's spot for a long time! The food lived up to the hype! Delicious, and the atmosphere was surreal! The staff is very inconsistent though. First of all there was a few waiters jumping in and out of service, Very kind and helpful. Cara is probably the best server I've ever experienced in my life. However there were a couple that really pulled us out of the experience. Didn't catch the name of the hostess, but she seemed a little annoyed. But hey, people have bad days. There was one server? Or busser? Couldn't tell really... but he was awfully rude, very pushy, made kind of uncomfortable comments that some of my party found funny, but I found them unnecessary. And towards the end we felt quite rushed by him. Taking plates they we were still eating, maybe towards the end of the night it's normal. I think he was attempting to woo my daughter, very persistent. However, we didn't let it affect our evening. He never introduced himself to us, but we asked a member of staff and she said his name is Chuck. Couldn't tell if it was his first day, but either way, it was fine, just odd. The squash blossoms, and the tortellini made up for it. Wish we were able to see chef more, but when we did he was impressive. The attention to detail was beautiful. Overall, Funke was a good experience and we will be back again. Hopefully service is more consistent across the board. The food is worth a Michelin star in my opinion, and affordable for the quality. I'm sure when i come back it will be 5 stars, Try it out! read more

Funke is the best elegant Italian dining in LA! My best friend since high school was in town with her daughters, so I wanted to take them to one of the best Italian restaurants that I've been hearing about for so long. Our 1st time experience was divine even from the start of our reservation, thanks to Jack for reserving us the best table on the rooftop. We were escorted to the gorgeous rooftop & welcomed by the kind hostess Alex. The ambiance around us felt truly breathtaking! Our lovely server Lisette was a sweetheart & she happily suggested amazing dishes + epic Italian wine that we ordered all because of her! We were blown away by the quality of the authentic hand-made food, phenomenal service & especially the lovely atmosphere. Massive Thanks to the Owner Evan Funky for creating a Masterpiece!! In the end, I look forward to bringing all my friends to my new favorite Italian restaurant... Funke ;D Love, Vaja read more

Very Honest Review: Wanted to visit this place after watching the Netflix show and to my surprise it didn't meet the expectations. We made a reservation of 4 with a note saying need a high chair for my 19month old daughter. They misread that and caused a bit of delay which was okay. The ambience is beautiful and welcome. Staff were very cordial. We were seated in about 10-15mins of arriving. We ordered the fungi pizza, pesto hand rolled pasta and the rigatoni pasta. Pizza was great but both the pastas were chewy and undercooked to a level that it stuck in between teeth. Not expected out of the huge expectations created. Very average food. What added to my not so good experience was that there are no changing tables in the bathrooms. I expected the restaurant to be more accommodating with younger children. read more

Amazing meal. 100% worth the price. Great service and food like you've never had before! Cara was an amazing server and super knowledgeable about the menu. Get the squash blossoms, pork tortellini special and the sour cream & blueberry gelato. read more

Fine Italian cuisine within a beautiful modern restaurant accompanied by refined, attentive service. My friends who have been to Italy raved at how comparable or almost as good as they have had in Italy! Here are the musts: - focaccia bread aka sfincione in bianco: light, airy inside a crunchy, crusty exterior - squash blossoms aka fiori di zucca: perfectly fried - misticanza salad: herbaceous and refreshing - pistachio pesto pasta - butternut squash aka tortellini di zucca - branzino alla brace - citrus gelato: perfect palate cleanser read more

I love Evan Funke! He can do no wrong in my eyes. I've tried Felix, Mother Wolf, and now Funke (for the second time). Funke has a sultry vibe and beautiful decor (just like the others). The food is superb. You have to get 3 diff pastas, it's mandatory! They all have the perfect bite to them and the flavors leave nothing to be desired. Our favorite is the busiate with pistachio pesto. The dessert is out of this world - creamy, light, a hint of tartness and sweetness perfectly balanced. You have to try this place! Perfect for date night or a special occasion. read more

I honestly don't have the words to explain my fine dining experience last night. But grateful comes to mind. We didn't think the chef would be there,but as we turned our gaze to the kitchen,there he was working hard as though he wasn't a wizard. Dish after dish,more beautiful than the next... we were in Awe. We left with not only full bellies,but with full hearts because the staff with their extensive knowledge of food and wine treated us like royalty. Run,don't walk to this amazing place I affectionately now call Heaven. read more

After having an amazing experience at Mother Wolf, we decided to come try Funke! Ambiance was great, seating was a little uncomfortable and crowded. Service was good. The food is always amazing! I have a gluten allergy so I wasn't able to try the pastas and pizza, however my husband loved the RIGATONI ALL'AMATRICINA and wa s pleased! Since the artichoke was out of season, we didn't get to try it (off the menu). We ordered the prawns and they were amazing! A lot of items from the menu are the same as mother wolf. We ordered a few salads and I ordered the swordfish. The fish itself was cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful! I was not a big fan of the sauce, reminiscent of a puttanesca. We then walked up to the rooftop for drinks and dessert. Dessert was phenomenal!!!! You must try the Meringata! It was to die for! read more

The food was amazing! You also get to watch them make pasta which is very fun. We enjoyed everything we ate and it was very filling. One star off because it is extremely loud in the upper seating area, both because people are crowded up there and the music. read more

We were able to walk in and put our names down in the list. They offered the rooftop bar while we waited. The wait was a smidge over an hour and we were seated at the short bar at the end overlooking the stretch of the bar area. Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. The pastas were amazing. They met all expectations. The orange wine was delicious. And the dessert cannolis were heaven. 10/10 will be back to order all the other pastas. read more

This place is pretty amazing. From beautiful ambiance, to great music to phenomenal food. Haven't been to an Italian restaurant where everything actually tasted great. Only downfall was that due to our later reservation time of 9:30, by the time we were done with our meal, they no longer had coffee available. read more

Amazing food, the service was fabulous and the ambience is amazing. Definitely worth going.

I'm obsessed with Mother Wolf and was looking forward to this meal all day. The service was amazing, the ambience was on point but the food was definitely NOT the star. The squash blossoms was consistent and the fried onion puff pastry was good. Both pastas we ordered were too salty and dry. The pastas tasted better at Mother Wolf. The salad was also dry with no flavor. We didn't order the pizzas because we wanted to try other items but I'm curious to see if it's even good. I would visit the roof top bar for cocktails and make a reservation at Mother Wolf. read more

I've been fortunate to dine at Funke twice so far and this is my favorite of Evan Funke's establishments. Felix and Mother Wolf are definitely exceptional restaurants that I continue to frequent... but when you want to really treat yourself above and beyond, Funke delivers and then some. From the moment you walk in you know the experience will be like no other restaurant. The staff work so well together and the service is impeccable. They know how to course out the meal so you don't feel rushed The food and drink are amazing, like it will ruin you to have Italian fare anywhere else after this.

My husband and I have been fans of Evan Funke since we moved to LA and first tried Felix, so we had to try Funke soon after hearing about its opening. I brought my husband here on a Tuesday night for his birthday and both of us loved it. The reservations open at 9 am on Resy one week prior to the date. I booked right on the dot and was able to get a 6 pm reservation for the next week. There is both street parking and valet available here. Compared to his other restaurants Felix and Mother Wolf, Funke is the chef's most beautiful and biggest restaurant. Funke is two levels and also has a chic rooftop bar at the top. Upon arriving, we were greeted by the doorman and seated immediately on the upper level. We were brought menus and waters immediately. After hearing that it was our first time, our waiter explained the menu to us and gave us some recommendations. We shared three appetizers between us, arancini, peach and burrata salad, and foccacia. The foccacia here was quite different to other ones I've had in the past. It seemed like a small savory cake that had herbs on the top and a layer of tomato sauce in the middle. My husband and I both highly enjoyed this and would recommend getting it. The arancini was also superb, with pieces of ham and gooey melted cheese throughout. If I had to skip one of the appetizers next time, it would be the peach and burrata salad. While it was fresh and delicious, it would be very easily recreated at home, as it contained slices of peach, a whole burrata ball, some olive oil, and basil. For mains, my husband had the agnolotti and I had the diavola pizza. I was in the mood for pizza that night and selected the diavola, which had a tomato sauce base, honey, and salami on it. It was good, but it is also offered at Felix and Mother Wolf, and I think when I come back next time, I would rather get one of their pastas that are unique to this location. My husband loved his agnolotti, as did I. It was the perfect blend of texture and taste. For dessert, we shared the meringetti. Our waiter explained that this was a blend of meringue and panna cotta with fresh strawberries and honey. This was a light and delicious end to our meal. I'm not a big fan of meringue but I did enjoy this dessert. Would highly recommend trying Funke for a special meal or a just-because night out. We are both looking forward to returning. read more

Our dining club finally snagged a rezzie at this eponymous hot spot from LA's #americansfoglino @evanfunke. There aren't enough stars to represent the quality and experience of this meal. It can be tempting to order dishes across the expansive menu, but the "fatta a mano" pasta is what really shines. Start with the pillowy foccacia and crispy squash blossoms--best sellers from Evan's LA restaurant empire. (Tell the wait staff to pace your courses as the hot or cold dishes tend to arrive all at once). Then move on to the pasta-pallooza! We ordered 4 of the 6 handmade pasta dishes. Each was a masterpiece in its own right, but the Tortelli--filled with winter squash, and bathed in a brown butter, sage, and cinnamon sauce--and the Busiate, pasta curls with pistachio pesto, were standouts. For dessert, the sugar-dusted donuts served with a cherry marmalade and pistachio crema dipping sauces was a divine flavor experience. But the real treat were the chewy marzipan cookies that finished the meal. Take a walk around the sparkly white multistory structure anchored by a glass-enclosed pasta room. If you're lucky, you might catch Evan in there rolling dough. Leftovers? That coat check ticket you may have received is for the the doggie bag, not your, that you'll pick up on the way out. Whether for a special occasion or just a night out with foodie friends, Funke is a must-visit and worth every penny. . read more

Totally lives up to the hype! Probably the hardest reso to get in la right now and I can see why. I've dined at Evan Funkes other restaurants before and have loved them all but funke has to be my absolute favorite. Great food and amazing ambiance. The restaurant is super lively and has a great energy. The layout is also great. They have an amazing upstairs rooftop with a limited menu but is great to have drinks and light bites. The menu is very similar to mother wolf and Felix. You can't go wrong with any of the pastas. Make sure to try one from each side of the menu, one that is made by hand and the other traditional. My favorite is the cacio pepe. The squash blossoms are amazing and you can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. The focaccia is the best you'll ever have. Don't skip this. The salads have all been great, they switch them out seasonally, but you can't go wrong with any of the burratas. read more

Earlier today I decided I wanted to try Funke, a recommendation I'd received from a fellow bar patron earlier in the week. I did not previously make a reservation, as most of the time, the restaurant is able to accommodate me just fine at the bar. Today I was told that I'd have to wait FOR that seat at the bar, at the rooftop bar. The pair of hosts at the restaurant entrance were very friendly when letting me know this and I obliged. I observed the overall restaurant decor and found it to be beautiful, including the rooftop. I got to the rooftop bar and kindly ask for a drink (the Sicilia) while I'm waiting. I was seated in the outdoor seating area and waited patiently for my time to come. I highly enjoyed the drink as it had just the right amount of liquor and sweetness to make it worth the $25. Finally, the rooftop hostess let me know they were ready for me. I went back to the first floor where the kind pair of hosts told me they were ready and the young lady walked me up to my seat at the second floor bar. I sat down and waited to be attended to. Once seated, a bartender named Mavis came up to me within 2-3 minutes and handed me the dinner and drink menus and offered me water while I looked over them. I ordered another Sicilia. Now while I love pasta to a certain degree, I couldn't make heads or tails of 90% of this menu, as it was all in Italian! I asked Mavis if he could help me figure out three dishes that spoke to me based on what I could understand. I also asked for details on the appetizers. Mavis couldn't be more gracious and kindly explained to me in detail all of these meals I'd pointed out without showing exasperation or annoyance. We settled on a dinner plate (Agnolotti) and an appetizer (Sfincione in blanco). The appetizer he said would complement the meal well. In the meantime, his fellow bartenders kept me refreshed with water in addition to my Sicilia. I overheard Mavis further explain some dishes in depth to the pair seated a few feet away from me and I felt better knowing I wasn't the only one asking for some translations. Later, I did thank him specifically for the patience he had to explain each meal I asked him too and he remarked that it was no problem as he likes to get to know the dishes being served and he's enjoyed being educated in them and their history by the cooks. I found this to be quite the gracious viewpoint from his part. Once the main course came to my table, he seemed somewhat irritated in the fact that the appetizer hadn't come first or alongside the dish. He asked the gentleman who took out the meal in hushed tones why the appetizer hadn't followed. The waiter remarked that he wasn't sure, he just saw the dinner plate ready to go out and brought it out. This answer clearly didn't satisfy Mavis, and as he was heading to find out what the issue was, the appetizer (bread) came out from another waiter. A look of relief quickly came over his face and he made another remark about how important it was for both to be out in a timely manner as they complemented each other. He came to me after the plates were set and reminded me such, not fully aware I had overheard this whole conversation through their hushed tones. I began my feast and quickly understood what Mavis meant. These tasted so well together! I enjoyed the meal thoroughly, but was curious as to why Mavis had disappeared on me. Another bartender had seemingly taken his place and was asking me everything Mavis should have. The other bartender let me know that Mavis was just covering his break. That I'd come at an interesting time where he was long overdue for a break and he'd needed someone to replace him. I was gracious for the answer. The experience had a been a good one to that point, despite Mavis' hasty exit. One of them did let him know I'd asked for him and Mavis returned briefly to apologize for the quick exit and let myself and the other pair from earlier know he was just covering. It didn't matter. The patience and attentiveness to my needs at the bar were so impressive, especially considering I'd just had a terrible experience at a different bar earlier in the week. I could tell Mavis really cared about what he was doing and you don't see that kind of service everywhere now-a-days. Kudos to Funke and their service staff as everyone from the bartenders (below the rooftop) to the pair of hosts at the restaurant door were very kind. The food was an added bonus, because sometimes these establishments can be overrated, but that certainly wasn't the care her. I will certainly return to this establishment again. read more

Funke - Agnolotti and Sfincione in blanco - Italian Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Unfortunately, this was not it for me. I know the reservation is hard to get, but that's mainly because of the system they have in place...7 days before at 9am blah blah blah. I enjoyed my meal at Felix much more. I feel like the menu at Funke is an exact replica of Felix. My BFF snagged a reservation and treated me to my bday dinner. The menu isn't on the website which is annoying. It's three stories yes, but the first floor is half the floor, the second floor is open aired to the bottom and half the floor, and then the rooftop deck. We sat upstairs on the second floor. They were pumping hip hop music so loud I could barely hear my companion. I'm not sure this is the crowd for blaringly loud hip hop. Keep it to the rooftop. The food was unimpressive. We started with the Sfincione Palermitano bread, which was good, but reminded me of a very light fluffy pizza (and we had also ordered a pizza). Next up were the squash blossoms, which were super salty and I couldn't finish. The Amalfitana pizza needed more mozzarella and 10x's more meyer lemon. There was barely the essence of lemon. I love a good thin crust, but this was like a pizza was prepared on a tortilla. Finally, we rounded out the meal with the ziti alla genovese. We were full at this point, so we merely sampled the pasta. Nothing to write home about. What really threw me for a loop was that there was nearly 3/4's of our pasta left, and our waiter took it and threw it away! A $38 dollar pasta and most of it went in the trash. I'm sorry sir, this is America, we box up our leftovers. He didn't even ask and I guess it's my fault for assuming he wouldn't throw out that much pasta, especially when I noticed they were doing bags and bags of takeout, so they clearly have the ability to pack up food. We passed on dessert, but my friend had clearly pointed out to them it was my bday, and other than well wishes, nada. Don't expect a bday celebration from them. Bonus: fun rooftop that wasn't too crowded at 9pm on a Friday night. Bogus: mid food, they threw my food away, and everyone was weirdly touching me all night and calling me cutie (wtf?). Will I be back? NOPE. Hard pass. read more

This is my favorite of the 3 Funke restaurants in LA. It's in a nice space, with an upstairs and downstairs that have different vibes. The staff are a little intense but I expect that at a place like this. The music upstairs is too loud; the staff have to yell to talk to you and it's impossible to have an intimate conversation or moment which is too bad. The food was delicious and I enjoyed trying 3 different pastas which came out fresh and piping hot! The focaccia bread is very special and I'm glad I don't have to drive to Venice to get it. The valet is in a very sketch alley next to the restaurant which is also unfortunate but a minor inconvenience. Definitely a good option to have. read more

I actually thought I'd like the pasta here because I love mother wolf's pasta. But i'd say pass on the pasta and get the steak. While pricey, the steak was the best dish. For the price of the pasta, sooo not worth. I think I can make better pasta at home on my own and I'm no chef. read more

Came here a month or so ago and had their Boscaiola Pizza. It was a delicious very thin crust and tasty "light bite" mushroom pizza. It was also $42. + tax and tip = $54. just for one "lite bite" pizza! My friend who took me thought it was good, but overpriced and wouldn't consider returning. I understand and had to agree, but it haunted me how delicious it was.... So, a few weeks later I had to go back for another mushroom pizza. It was impossible to get reservations, but they suggest coming and putting your name in and they'll try and get you in. So did that...after over an hour of waiting and still being third party in line on the waitlist, we were too hungry to continue to wait any longer. The hostess suggested coming earlier, closer to 5pm when they open. Kept thinking about that thin little mushroom pizza...was it that good? Or was I just really hungry that evening? So, tried again. I live nearby, left my house at about 5pm drove there and parked.... We were told there were 8 couples ahead of us on the list!! They suggested we go to the bar upstairs. I told them I came for mushroom pizza. They said, "We have the same pizzas upstairs at the bar." Feeling elated we went up to the bar. Up at the bar it was half empty so no trouble getting seated. They gave us three menus to look at. None of them included pizza! I asked and was told they have 3 pizzas available there at the bar: margherita, lemon and pepperoni. I told them That I came for their mushroom pizza. They said they were sorry, but it's not available at the bar. Feeling disappointed we ordered the margerhita pizza. It came fast. The crust tasted like a salty flexible chewy saltine cracker. The sauce tasted of fresh tomatoes, but quite salty. I particularly like that they don't use a boring bland tasting stretchy mozzarella on their pizza, but the salty flavor of the cheese was just too much salt on top of the salty crust and sauce! Feeling defeated and disappointed we headed out, now about 7pm. Downstairs at the front desk I thought they should know so that they didn't mislead others... "They don't have mushroom pizza up at the bar." Their reply was, "No, they only have 4 pizzas available at the bar, but it's the same pizza." At this point I was feeling too defeated to argue 3 or 4, who cares. But then to pour more salt on my wounds they said, "I'm sorry you were disappointed, but we have a table available and could seat you in the dining room now." Excuse me, but we just finished eating at the bar.... A week later I stopped by Funke to give it one more chance. Again they were full in the dining room and so we were sent upstairs to the bar, but assuring us that this time they had mushroom pizza available there. And, they did! But again the chewy salty saltine crust, salty topping and salty cheese... just too salty! Definitely not the pizza I have been dreaming about! read more

The pastas were decent, sizes were small to be expected, but honestly what knocked this down from 4 stars to 2, besides the strangely slow service despite the fact that the restaurant was quite empty while we were there, was the shock of our bill. The most expensive pasta on the menu was $50, and the most expensive thing on the menu was a steak for maybe $80-90. So when our server mentioned an off the menu pasta, truffle gnocchi in white butter and filled with cheese, we ordered it, thinking it would be around $50. Instead, it was double the most expensive thing on the menu: $160. Yes, we should've asked beforehand, but I thought it would be in the range of reasonable: maybe $50-100 considering the prices of everything else on the menu. I told our server I thought it was deceptive that she didn't list the price up front. She said she doesn't because customers might be offended that she's telling them the price (it's really not that difficult to mention the price when explaining the dish); she also had a whole spiel prepared about where they source their truffles and from whom (they have a "special truffle guy from Italy" apparently). It's not her fault--it's the establishment's, for clearly training their staff to deceive and upsell customers. Overall this was very disappointing to see that Funke and his businesses prioritize profit over transparency. read more

Wow from the moment you arrive at the restaurant. It's is a Beautiful restaurant and convenient for shopping. Service: Impeccable. However I'll have to admit that having someone know the sommelier was a plus. Everyone was very attentive form the time you arrive to the time you leave. Food: Wow just wow - I prefer this place to Mother Wild hands down, although I truly enjoy Felix. Eva Funke pulled all the stops for this place and the wine list is something to rave about and the cocktails looked great, but I can't speak to that. This is probably the best pasta place in Los Angeles, but the steak and fish were also cooked to perfection and do not miss out on the dessert. Ambiance: The place was packed on a Saturday night, but acoustics were perfect. Parking: Valet was not convenient - take a Lyft. read more

Took my best friend here to celebrate her birthday and we've both been to Motherwolf so we were excited. To start, the decor is just GORGEOUS, I loved watching them make the pasta and the bar downstairs is a total vibe. We were seated upstairs and ordered- Sfincione Palermitano- This was good! savory, buttery, and crispy Amalfitana pizza- I was curious about the meyer lemon and it was nice to try, but I wouldn't get this again Busiate pasta- our favorite, the sauce was delicious We wrapped up with the torta- a must if you love chocolate Service was great, our som was also wonderful, we checked out the rooftop bar after which is a sight in itself. Overall I liked it, but I prefer the food at Motherwolf as Funke didn't "wow" me as much as MF and can be pricy. I would 100% return to the rooftop bar though! read more

After trying to score a table pretty much since they first opened, I finally snagged a spot on Friday night. Overall, we had an awesome experience even if the food didn't meet my wildly high expectations (and we definitely liked the food at Mother Wolf more). Our server was Carmine and he was an absolute delight! Honestly, he pretty much made the night. Service can make or break even the best meal and he was exceptional - friendly, engaged, informative and super funny! We got the focaccia that everyone raves about and it was definitely one of our favorites of the night. I've been dying to try the artichoke hearts but they weren't on the menu (just like when we had gone to Mother Wolf before- bad timing!). But after I mentioned my disappointment, Carmine said the kitchen could whip them up for me and even add some caviar on top. Caviar is always a good idea (truer words have never been spoken), but the artichoke hearts themselves were just ok. There were a bunch of specials and we took advantage of those. Next we had the special crab cake and it was fantastic! It was our favorite dish of the night and one of the best crab cakes we've ever had (and my husband is very very particular about crab cakes!). It was hardly any filler, the outside was crispy, the sauce was delicious and the vibrant greens on top rounded out the dish beautifully. Next up was the lemon pizza. My husband had been skeptical about ordering pizza but we both loved it and thought it was delicious. It had everything you could ask of a pizza! It tasted great the next night too. Then came the pastas. We got the pesto one that everyone on Yelp seems to love and we were both super underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, but it tasted like every other pesto pasta anywhere. We left most of it and our kid had it for dinner the next night. Our second pasta was the special mushroom with truffle pasta. It was very yummy (and of course with the truffle you know it's going to cost bank), but cost aside I still think I would have preferred it without the truffle. Last up was the tangerine dessert. I liked it a lot more than my husband did. We walked around afterwards and checked out all the levels. We had been sat on the first floor and we agreed that it was our favorite. The scene is very much a "scene", which is what you would expect in this part of town. And complaining about price I think is silly. It's a hugely popular chef with a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Of course it's going to be expensive and over priced but that's part of the package. If you accept that going in then it won't sting as much lol. We split a glass of wine and the pour was incredibly generous. Bill was about $500 but we had a fantastic night! read more

Date night with hubby was a success. The food was delicious. The service was great. -1 star because MY GOOOOOOOOD ITS SO LOUD. I could not hear a word my husband was saying and could barely understand the waiter. Squash blossoms: tasty but nothing to write home about. Not super memorable.
