I have been wanting to come to Funke for ages and finally made it, and while it was delicious, I'm not entirely sure I understand the hype. The food was very good, but by no means mind blowing or the best meal I've ever had. I'm glad I went, but there are so many incredible Italian restaurants in LA that I don't necessarily need to be running back. The staff were wonderful and very attentive, and the ambiance was very nice! Bonus points that there was a bar by the host stand while you wait for your table, as well as a rooftop bar if you want to have that vibe! Food wise - the steak tartare was INCREDIBLE and the focaccia was delicious! The squash blossoms and artichokes were just fine. Not bad, but not great. The pasta was delicious but not anything overly special! Overall, very delicious meal and I'm glad I went, but I definitely think it's overhy read more

Third time is not the charm. Been here once a year ago for dinner, it was fine. Been here for drinks and bites at the rooftop, also fine. Then again this week. The food, well it's fine. Nothing amazing. The drinks also fine. The ambiance also fine. A bit luxury but just clean and a good ambiance. The service for me was what was annoying. Everyone was friendly but not sincere. It was an act. The service to introduce us to the restaurant is that the chef is super famous and has a Netflix show. And that everything is delicious. OK fine. I'm over this place. Wasn't feeling entirely hungry but here for dinner, a date and a fun time. The service just felt a bit forced. The food was it good, it was fine. Ordered the squash blossoms, two pastas and two drinks. The pastas just felt very normal. No amazing flavors and not really the freshest or tastiest. It was just fine. Was then also rushed out. Yes we enjoyed chatting and understand they need to turn the tables over. Was there for about two hours. I guess this is the standard for meals at restaurants like this in 2025 in LA. read more

Gorgeous decor, nice ambiance, excellent service! I came for dinner on a weekday for 5:15 reservations (they open at 5pm). It started to get crowded at about 6ish. Before I got seated I took a look around on all 3 levels. First 2 levels are indoors and the 3rd level is the rooftop (each level has a bar). The entire restaurant was clean with nice decor. As far as the staff, EVERYONE was very pleasant and very nice with warm smiles. I loved the music selection that played softly in the background. The drink of my choice for the night was verde mare...highly recommend if you like gin. The food was excellent. We ordered family style so we can all try different dishes. The only dish none of us liked (party of 4) was the artichoke. I think if it came with dipping sauce it would have been better. Everything else was absolutely delicious especially the pappardelle and the panzanella salad both filled with so much flavor. Our waiter Carmine (I hope I spelled it correctly) was really nice and very knowledgeable of the menu items and ingredients. He was very helpful! They do have valet parking for $17.... There is also a near by parking garage as well. I can't wait to dine her again! read more

Excellent experience all around. The foccacia is phenomenal. Restaurant vibe is casual fine dining and fun. High quality service and ingredients. Pastas were large portions. Tagliatelle bologese is classic and delicious. Free biscotti with the bill. The wine by the glass was fantastic. read more

Even though we found a slug in our salad, everything else was really great. Obviously it's unfortunate and not something anyone wants to deal with in a restaurant, but when you work with fresh organic ingredients, things like this can happen. Of course, you would expect them to do better job washing the lettuce, and I truly hope they will take extra measures moving forward to make sure this never happens again. As to the rest of the meal: everything else we ordered was excellent. The pesto pasta, the lemon pasta, the branzino which was truly amazing , the zucchini flowers, and the unbelievable desserts were all really really good. Overall, the food was so good that I'm not going to penalize them over one the slug, but I do hope they pay closer attention to properly washing their produce. read more

Best pasta I've ever had. We got the spaghetti arrabbiata, gnocchi special, and pappardelle. All three were amazing.

All the dishes we had were incredible. My favorite was one of the desserts which was their take on a panna cotta called a Meringata. To be fair this is from what I hear Shannon Swindle's creation. One of the best desserts I've ever had in my life! The rest of the dishes were right on par with what you would expect from Evan Funke. Perfect. The service was superb and very polite and serviceable, and the dishes were cleared very quickly. Now I live closer to Mother Wolf so I'm there a lot. A lot of this menu seemed to be what I could get at Mother Wolf so our only critique of our experience and night was really just the ambience and the location. We just didn't enjoy the design of the place . The upstairs was very loud. Now that I know there's a rooftop that's supposedly quieter and more serene I might want to try that next time. So overall, yeah, the food was five stars, but I'm giving it four stars because I'm biased to my precious Mother Wolf. Is this like an East side West side thing now? What have I done!? read more

Fantastic visit to Funke. Good things are worth the wait and Funke is just that!!! From the incredible pastas to the fabulous tangerine panacotta. Delicious, fun, a bit loud but with that good type of buzz you feel from good energy. It's a lovely spot not to be missed. read more

This was my second visit to Funke, and once again, it did not disappoint. You can always count on exceptional service. We started with the focaccia with pomodoro, artichokes, and burrata with spring vegetables--all incredibly fresh and flavorful. The real star of the night, as always, was the pasta. The gnocchi was absolutely perfect--so good that even though we were full, we finished the entire plate. For dessert, we had the strawberry rhubarb tarte with vanilla gelato and sorbet, which was a beautifully balanced combination of tart, sweet, and creamy. To finish, I ordered a mint tea, which was delicious and the perfect way to aid digestion after such a rich meal. Also, a special shoutout to the Arezzo cocktail--incredibly well-made and a must-try. Funke continues to impress with its impeccable flavors and quality. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

We shared a few dishes, and the standout for me was definitely the shrimp. Don't skip the focaccia bread -- it's perfect for soaking up all that flavorful sauce. The artichoke hearts were good, but could've used a bit more seasoning. We also tried the sweet corn pasta (one of the specials), which was delicious, though the price was a bit of a shock. Overall, the food is great, the service is spot on, and the atmosphere is fun and energetic. read more

Where do I start? I first heard about the restaurant by watching Chef's Table. Now I'm crying for all the wasted years we haven't gone to Funke. We live in Northern California and had a Southern California trip coming up. Our calendar was getting full but we had one evening free. We anxiously awaited for the reservation window to be open for the night we could go and we were fortunate to find ideal reservations. We met our son and his girlfriend at Funke. They braved the two hour drive from Irvine on a Wednesday night. We were a little early for our reservation which was fine because it gave us a little time to walk around a few blocks away to Erewhon. When we returned for our reservation, a lady was making pasta in the glass room. I regret not taking her photo. We spied Chef Funke as he walked through the dining room to the kitchen. (Fan girl moment). We were seated at a table upstairs at around the time of our reservation. It was relatively loud and fairly dark in the dining room. It was very busy. We were greeted by several people upon sitting at our table. Our server was Max. He spent time explaining the menu to us and included his recommendations. We opted for Focaccia bread, a Margherita pizza and two pasta dishes. The focaccia was divine. It was light and delicious. The second item served was the Margherita pizza. It was excellent. Our son exclaimed it was the best pizza he has eaten in the states. Maybe the best pizza ever? There was a monitor in our dining area with a live-feed of the pasta making room. We saw Chef Funke step into the box and start rolling out pasta. We each took turns to run down to watch for a minute. It was a glorious experience for us. The two pasta dishes we had were the special of the evening, Agnolotti, and Tagliatelle. Each was unique and amazing. Unlike anything we have ever tried. (Our first trip to Italy will be later this year). We are really glad we were able to find reservations during our visit. Max was incredibly helpful and attentive. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and aWe had an amazing evening and will look forward to another visit. read more

This place is a knockout. Had a girls dinner here with a small group and it was phenomenal! We got in a little early and checked in for our reservations. We went upstairs to the rooftop bar, checked it out and grabbed a drink while waiting. We were seated 30 minutes after our specified time but it was ok. Were seated in a booth by the kitchen and got to see the staff in action which was fun. Our waitress and server were amazing. It was a jam packed night, service was up to par. We ordered a bunch of everything to share. Pistachio pesto pasta, truffle pasta, squash blossoms, the bread, margarita pizza, lemon pizza, arancini and tiramisu to end it. Each dish better than the next. Arancini similar to one I ate in Rome. The lemon pizza was recommended from the waitress and I will admit we were skeptical of it. It was SO good. Shockingly good. Highly recommend trying this. Got some Gin and tonics. They make em pretty good and strong. Such a memorable night with great foods and friends. Glad I got to check off another LA restaurant. We went on a after dinner walk around the neighborhood, located in a great area as well. Worth checking out! Thank you Funke for an amazing dining experience and night! read more

I was very excited to check this place out. I was invited to go with my work and I don't really remember most of what we ate but what did stick out was the squash blossom and the branzino with flannel salad.I do love a branzino I am so bias so it was delicious. Their squash blossoms reaffirm my love of Cheese filled squaish flowers. They made a rezzy for us so i'm not sure how getting a rezzy is like now. They have valet out the back alley.

Hands down some of the best pasta I have had in LA. I am well aware of celebrity Chef Evan Funke and have also been to Felix Trattoria over in Venice, his other restaurant, which I really enjoyed. I would say this is even a better, and classier version. Inside is absolutely beautiful and has a very late night, early 1990s, Miami neon vibe to it. It's the sort of place would be great to bring a date or friends. The only issue we had was pricing was a bit obscene for some items, such as $8 a glass for iced tea, with no refills, but aside from the pricing it was a great experience. Our server was also very polite and everything that we ordered arrived fairly quickly except the last two dishes were pasta and one arrived over 10 minutes after the other, which was really inconvenient. Parking in the area is honestly really easy, there is a large underground parking structure right across the street with the first two hours of free parking. Otherwise it would be metered street parking which will be hard to find in this part of town. We ordered many items which are all delivered when they were ready at staggered order. First came the Sfincione Palmeritano which was honestly delicious focaccia bread with cheese and marinara on top and it really was a great start to the meal. Next was the Fiori di Zucca which was a real hit at the table. The ricotta cheese inside was heavenly, and I loved how crunchy the squash was. Next came my favorite dish the night, which was the Gamberi in Salsa Verde. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the Salsa Verde sauce was absolutely amazing. I soaked it up with the focaccia bread and it was an amazing combination. For our entrées, we chose two of the pastas, which were the Tagliatelle Bolognese and the Cacio E Pepe. Both were absolutely fantastic and honestly, some of the best pasta that I've ever had in Los Angeles. I would highly recommend this place although it is very expensive, so going in, I would suggest being careful of what you order or if budget is not a concern then just go have fun, you will really enjoy yourself. read more

My immediate family was in town, and we only are able to get together for dinner once a year, so this was a special night. We made reservations for 5, and got there on time. Now, the following has a lot of details that may or may not be interesting if you are looking at this to determine whether or not you want to come here, so feel free to skip directly to the food part below... We were initially offered a table that felt too small (looks like it would comfortably seat 4, but was a bit of a squeeze for 5, even though they assured us that they seat parties of 5 there all the time) and next to what looked like an emergency exit. It just didn't feel comfortable for us. And this place is pricey, so....we'd like to be comfortable. Anyway. We asked for another table, as there was at least one or two other tables that would seat 5 more comfortably, and were in a better location. After a lot of back and forth, with the manager telling us that the larger tables were reserved for parties of 6, we compromised and started our meal at the original table, and they said they would move us to a larger table if it became available. One of the big empty table proceeded to sit empty for....at least another hour or so, and when another bigger table became available, we asked them to check on that one too. A bit more back and forth - it seems like there was another party of 5 that they were going to seat at the other big table....and we think it was a party of 5 because they did eventually move us to a larger table and sat THAT other party of 5 at our original table.....but if they would seat THAT party of 5 at a table for 6.... the logic wasn't super logicking and I know I'm giving TMI. The large table was much much better. Ok. So. As you can see from my reviews, I've been to a lot of restaurants and I've really very rarely seen a case where they will hold a table for a later party that has the same number of people when the people who got there earlier asked for a change in table...I dunno, was it us? How we looked, dressed, or were perceived? It was kind of a blah opening to the meal. They did make it up by being very nice to us later, and gave us some things on the house, which is appreciated. I just don't like going into an establishment wondering if they are treating us the way they are because of any sort of unconscious/implicit, uh, feeling that they may have toward us after seeing us. Honestly, this has not happened in a very very long time in LA for me if ever, but, hey, it's Beverly Hills, so. That being said, everyone was very nice, the service was good and friendly. And the drinks were good - we got the strawberry based non-alcoholic cocktail, and a Manhattan, and both were delicious. On to the food. Keep in mind that when I had this meal, I was in the midst of some dental issues, so textures and softness really mattered, and I think what I liked and didn't like was framed by whether or not I could chew the thing without pain. - The focaccia is very soft. I mean, it's like the softest focaccia I have ever had. Super pillowy and warm - like you could take a nap in it. Lovely. My tooth thanks the chef. - Squash Blossoms - excellent - perfectly fried - not too much, very light and crisp. - Rucola salad - very simple, and a good way to make sure we got our leafy greens. - Margherita pizza - super thin crust, very well done. You could fold it like a New York slice. Yes. And then we got 4 pastas - the tagliatelle, the orecchiette, the arrabbiata, and the cacio e pepe. My favorite was the tagliatelle - the pasta was so so perfect. The other three tasted great...but the pasta was cooked SUPER al dente....and it hurt my dente. :( My parter really REALLY loved the arrabbiata (this was was also less al dente), and we definitely kept the sauce for that to keep dipping the focaccia in. For dessert, we got the panna cotta, which was topped with meringue and strawberries, and this was wonderful. We also got donuts with ice cream and blueberries, which was also good. For some reason, these were the two desserts that two separate servers recommended to us that night. So, that's what we went with. I was happier with the panna cotta than with the donuts, but both were solid. We took some donuts home, and I'm, uh, steaming them to warm them back up and to try and soften them up a bit. I realize by revealing this, I may be forever banned from this restaurant for bastardizing their leftover dessert. LOL. I also got a decaf americano, which was good, but they sadly didn't have to-go cups for me to take it on the road (I mean, I'm clearly the problem here - I drink REALLY slowly). Parking. There is valet, or after 6pm, just around the corner, the public parking has a flat rate of $5. I thought about looking for street parking for about 2 seconds. Yea, no. Bathrooms are overrun by flamingos (in their wall paper and their soaps). They are multi-stalled and gendered, and generally clean. read more

The rooftop bar is the way to enjoy the Funk vibe. We got seated immediately. We had a reservation in the main dining room but chose to eat upstairs at the bar. The pink quartz bar and open-air environment were undeniably inviting. Bar Funke was fun and the dishes came out on time and with and with a nice cadence. I really enjoyed the new Amalfi pizza on the menu-- additionally, their spin on thin crust says, "Hi, I'm not trying too hard." I love it! My favorite style of pizza is an authentic NYC slice. Funke balanced their pizza flavors well. I wasn't sure how the lemon and onion would taste. They pulled it off. All in all, I knew the pasta was going to be spectacular. So, I tried the pizza too. They didn't try to complicate the recipe. Therefore, the pizza paired very well the entire meal. Plus, the prices aren't over the top like other places in the area. read more

Had a great dinner here. The focaccia is amazing and the pesto pasta was very tasty. The margarita pizza was standard. Our waiter was very nice. Food takes a little bit to come out.

I was so excited to try this restaurant and it lived up to the hype. Everything that we tried was spectacular the ambience of the restaurant was gorgeous and elegant. There was so many delicious and unique desserts to choose from. We obviously had to get more than one. The pizza was a highlight of my dinner. Was light with a delicious crispy crust. And with just the right amount of sauce, which was amazing as well. Can't wait to go back and try another dish. Just a note for anyone looking to make a reservation, definitely try to get an early reservation. They only make a set number of specific dishes that have the hand rolled pasta just because making the pasta rash is the quite tedious task, and they would rather not have any wasted! Overall 10 out of 10. read more

We wanted to go somewhere special to celebrate our anniversary and had recently seen Chef's Table: Noodles so we made sure to lock in a reservation here at Funke. The experience was more than we expected. We arrived a little early and enjoyed drinks at the rooftop bar which was beautiful around sunset. The Sicilia was refreshing and we were soon called back down to the main dining room where we were excited to catch a quick glimpse of Chef Funke walking around. A big shout out to our waiter Chuck who was so welcoming and who poetically described the menu options in such detail that we couldn't wait to try everything we ordered. We started with the sfincione palermitano which was recommended since we weren't ordering a pizza (although the pizzas looked and smelled really good!). Oh my goodness it was the perfect combination of flavors and textures. We didn't plan to eat it all, but we did! Then had the artichoke followed by the trofie and pappardelle. The pastas lived up to expectations and perfectly prepared. For the trofie the pesto was flavorful and plentiful and my husband couldn't stop raving about the boar ragu with the pappardelle. Ended the night with a sorbetto and complimentary truffles. Throughout it all Chuck was engaging and attentive and guided us well through this culinary experience. read more

The Netflix show got me all excited about Funke. A restaurant that specializes in all things pasta? Why wouldn't I want to drive all the way to LA and stuff my face?! The Netflix show talked about the art and work that goes into making each of these different types of pasta, the level of precision and the different flavors that make each dish unique. What I wasn't prepared to experience was the delight each mouthful brought! We were seated in the lower floor, adjoining the kitchen, and pretty lively (although seems like the other floor was more spirited haha). Things we tried 1. Sicilia- a bright, citrusy, beautifully complex drink that was a perfect start to a meal. It was like summer in a glass. 2. Sfincione Palermitano- the first bite blew me away! The magic of bread and savory tomato was something else! The bread was thick, airy crust, so fresh combined with the tomato sauce with anchovies and caramelized onions, with a bit of a crunchy bite was a delicious mix of flavors and textures. So special. 3. Busiate- a substitute for Trofie since they were out of it. The nutty, earthy-ness of pesto with the whimsy pasta shape was such a comfort food elevated to another level. One of the most memorable bites. 4. Orecchiette- I'm obsessed. I've always liked the orecchiette especially if combined with Italian sausage. And this one was the best I've had. Simple, almost rustic, not at all flashy, but oh-so-delish. 5. Linguine Al limone- I'm generally not a fan of lemon pasta. So this was supposed to be a 'try something out of your comfort zone' dish. It was as expected - lemon, cream and perfectly cooked pasta. I didn't love it, but I could appreciate the texture and flavor. We ended the meal with a glass of dry rose. Funke is a phenomenal restaurant that serves Italian food with heart, memory and purpose. I'll definitely be back, maybe add some desserts next time! read more

Overall a good experience. A solid 4.0/5. With appetizers, drinks, entrees, and dessert it was about $125/person. Recommend the squash blossoms, lemon pizza, and the arrabbiata pasta as the MUST order. We were underwhelmed by the tagliatelle bolognese (sauce flavor was underwhelming, but pasta texture was excellent) and the agnolotti (at $50 for the plate, we felt it was under seasoned). Service was okay, although I felt our waitress was short and we felt a bit rushed whenever she asked if we needed anything. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable and we were seated about 10-15 mins after our reservation time. read more

Went to Funke to celebrate a friend's birthday. It's very classy with a well heeled crowd and impeccable service. We had a long chat with the sommelier about the extensive wine list and he was very helpful and personable. For food our standout items were the fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with a delicious creamy cheese, and the mushroom pizza which had a thin chewy crust topped with loads of mushrooms. We were less enthralled with the Agnolotti al Antica pasta dish we ordered, which was loaded with butter and was quite a small dish. We expected a little for the price. While I wouldn't come to Funke on a regular basis, it's a nice choice for a special occasion. read more

Great food, great ambience, great staff! We started out on the rooftop bar where we experienced some unique and delicious cocktails and Mathew's enthusiasm and knowledge helped us make some fun and unique choices. When seated downstairs we loved watching the action in the kitchen and professional server Carmine enthusiastically recommended terrific dishes included the duck ragu tagliatelli and aged rib eye. He paced the meal perfectly and then we were lucky enough to have Eric an incredibly knowledgeable and fluent Som pair each course expertly right to the end with a spectacular amaro.

I psyched myself up a little too much to go to Funke. Best made pasta I've had in the US? Possibly. Agnolotti is an explosion of flavor and brown butter is delicious with it. The Tagliatelle is just exquisite thought the bolognese is just a bit too salty for me. I would have loved to see a seasonal Tajarin al tartufo on the menu. Also wish there were a tasting menu or I had two friends along to split all the handmade pasta options in one sitting. My two dishes made for a solid dinner. I probably could have gotten an appetizer as well. Service at bar was good and food comes from the kitchen quickly so you can incrementally order dinner without losing much time. Valet parking is $17 before tip. Wished they had put that on their website as I felt committed by the time I saw that after turning in at sign that just said Funke valet. The direction I came in didn't have street parking but as I left I noticed metered street parking on the street behind that would have saved me the $20. read more

Overall quite disappointed for a $600+ plus tip dinner for two. The food was pretty good but nothing that special at this price point. Wine recommendation, though we made clear that we quite familiar with the wines they had, was pretty apparent that they were pushing for certain bottles off their menu. Ultimately the $300ish Barolo was not anything memorable. Service was fine but very sterile and it was rather evident that they were trying to move us along to clear for a new table. What killed it for us was the dessert wine - it was full of sediments that they really should have not served with. We certainly understand that sediments happen, especially given the producer and vintage that we ordered. But this wasn't that - this was clearly the bottom of the bottle that they just dumped into the glass without paying attention at all. That was not acceptable. The picture only shows a small bit of the sediments as the rest ended up in my mouth/napkin. This dinner should've been better but was not. We left disappointed. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Funke and it was fantastic. We were lucky enough to simply fall into reservations day of (called to inquire about bar walk-ins and they offered us early reservations!). By far the service is what really made this such a special meal for us. For a party of 3, we ordered: Panzanella - wasn't expecting much and instead this was one of my favorites! Refreshing and full of flavor Fiori di Zucca (stuffed squash blossoms) - such a light and fluffy filling that was so so good Mushroom pizza (one of the daily specials) - very tasty Agnolotti al antica (stuffed pasta) - actually, given that Funke is known for the pasta, this actually ended up being the table's least favorite, but it was still delicious. Just more...unmemorable? Meringata (dessert) - Truly must get. We were stuffed but so happy we got this and it felt so unique and refreshing. Cocktails were delicious, and the sommelier was very knowledgeable. Again, it was the service that was all around the thing that took this to the next level. Everyone was so nice and cheery and the perfect level of attentiveness without hovering. Great meal! Valet parking avail, but we did the public garage just around the corner read more
