    Great spot! Amazing handmade pasta. Very cool, cozy vibe. Great for a date or night out with a small group of friends. The pizza, pasta, and steak were all amazing.

    Felix is hands down the best italian on the west side! Hard to get a reservation, but the other day we walked by and got lucky with a table available. The hosts were so nice and accommodating! now to the food: don't skip out on the focaccia. It's a carb cloud of goodness! pick the prawns over flower blossoms every pasta is 10/10 Wine selection is amazing as well!

    This was one of the best meals I've had in years! It's not easy to get a reservation, but very much worth the wait.

    Must get the bread!!! Best bread I've ever had! I'm coming back to LA just for this. Pastas are handmade and fresh too!

    I came to this restaurant because Joe Rohan keeps talking about how awesome it is...and the owner is from Toronto, like us! It didn't disappoint. The food was delicious, and our server was very friendly and helpful. We started with the bread (highly recommend!). We then got the pear salad, and then a cacio e Pepe and an Amatriciana. Both were delicious. when we visit LA again, we will definitely go again.

    With the COVID-19 protocols and lockdowns, this place really has it going. Such an amazing time with my friends enjoying a great meal. The pasta is all hand made and tastes amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! 10/10 recommend!

    This restaurant cannot disappoint. Every dish is a masterpiece, and with a changing seasonal menu, every meal feels like an adventure. The pasta should not be missed (the busiate with a trapanese pesto is amazing as are the ragus) and neither should the sfincione, which is like a buttery cloud. Thank you, Evan, for an amazing meal!

    Evan Funke runs this temple of pasta and Italian cuisine in Venice in the iconic former Joe's space along Abbot Kinney. Start with the superb focaccia, served in a plush round at the start of the meal. Then venture into one of the fresh salads prepared as lovingly as the pastas. But the main draws are the handmade pastas: rigatoni all'amatriciana, tonnarelli and cacio e pepe.

    Overall, a great experience and food was excellent, along with service. The only pasta dish that was not as good as I expected was the rigatoni, which tasted average. After watching the documentary on the chef/co-founder of this restaurant, I was expecting it to be the best pasta I've ever had, or dishes that were very unique, but all things considered, it was very good. Pasta was delicious, but definitely not the best or something so unique that you'll be craving to come back.

    This has to be one of the best and most underrated Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. It's not too hard to get a reservation, but the atmosphere is always amazing. Even at 10 p.m. on a weeknight you often have an entirely full crowd in the restaurant. I highly recommend ordering a bunch of different types of dishes for the best experience here. My ultimate favorites were the Ricotta Crustini appetiser and the rigatoni vodka dish.

It was just pricey on the other side but still worth it with the food quality and quantity. They also had a huge variation of drink which was a perfect touch in the meal. It was a nice experience and we were looking forward to being back. Thanks for the nice meal Felix Trattoria. Until next time, keep safe everyone!

    OMG ! I wish there are more stars I can give this restaurant. Recently it was named the BEST new restaurant in America ! We saw that article in the paper so on our trip to LA, we made a reso to dine here. The BEST pasta dishes we ever had in our lives ! 5 of us came to dinner so we ordered 2 pizzas and 5 different pastas on the menus. We loved the pizzas they are among some of the best we had. But the highlight of the meal was the pasta dishes. The sauces were so flavorful, the pasta cooked to perfection. We love, love and love it !!!! Our waiter was really cool, pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was very trendy and hip. The value was on the expensive side since the portions of the food were small. Highly recommend this place if you visit the area.

    My new favorite restaurant! everything on the menu is amazing. I really liked the Pappardelle and the focaccia bread is to die for. The atmosphere was great as well. would highly recommend for a date night. Make sure to make a reservation far in advance because It can be hard to get into.

    The pasta here was really good and delectable. I was here with a friend to check out what this place had to offer and boy, was I glad to have tried the food here. Yes, the price was on the level of expensive but the quality was great as well. Pizza they had here was okay, but I tasted better ones before.

    Took us 2 months to get in, but definitely worth the wait, and I would do it again and again. Being in the restaurant industry, I have appreciation for cooking and service with passion. Felix doesn't disappoint on any level. Come hungry and treat yourselves as we did with a party of 5. At no time were we rushed. Our server Tim was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with every table he served. Of course everyone had questions; the menu is in Italian! The manager on duty swung by and spent a good 5 minutes talking shop and we felt cared for. Over the course of 3 hours, we ate. And ate. We started with focaccia bread with sea salt and rosemary. It ate like butter. Next came squash blossoms appetizer. Light, airy, simple, perfection. Onto pizzas where we shared a Margherita pizza and Diavola pizza. So Neapolitan. Again, simple and perfect. The 5 of us each had a different entree. I had the black pepper pasta with a light cream sauce. I will forever compare every pasta dish I have in the future to this one and know it doesn't stand a chance. Others in my party had Oriecchiette, Ribeye Steak, Rigatoni, and Tonnarelli. When a party of 5 in the industry are at a loss for words in a restaurant. we found Nirvana. The night ended with two desserts and cappuccino, which were the perfect ending to the perfect meal. What made my night was Chef Funke, visible to all working expo, getting upset when dishes weren't perfect. He would not allow dishes to go out unless they were. That's passion for the quality of food and appreciation for his guests. And I am appreciative. On my way out, as I walked past expo, I stopped to thank Chef and yelled, "thanks, guys" into the kitchen which got a positive response from each cook and a smile from Chef. It's unfortunate the most one can rate a business is 5 stars on here. I don;t think there are enough stars to do Felix justice.

    By Far one of the best meals I have ever had. The place is very busy and a reservation is tough...now I know the reason why. The breads are amazing and the pastas are unbelievable.

    Sure it is expensive. Got to think you know that going in. Simply put, they served us some of the best food I have ever had anywhere at any price. The service was great.

    I am delighted to write this review for Felix restaurant, as this was easily the best culinary experience we had while on our California travels. We stumbled upon this spot by chance as we were dining quite late after I had proposed to my significant other whilst watching the sunset and the place we had intended to eat at was closed. Chance would have it that we caught the kitchen before it closed at Felix and our experience there completed our magical evening in a way we couldn't have expected. I am from London and my fiancee is from Rome. She is always very sceptical about eating Italian away from Italy as it usually lacks authenticity. This was definitely not the case with Felix. Just by looking at the menu, with the dishes categorised by where in Italy they originated from, my fiancee looked at me with bright eyes and said 'the selection looks great, I have a very good feeling about this place!" There were even particular ingredients that she recognised from certain Italian regions, which convinced her of how genuine this place was. She ordered Sardinian dish with pasta, saffron, lamb and peas. I had beef brisket Picchiapó on scarpetta. Every bite was a dream and that is no exaggeration! When our waitress (Kate M) came to check on us we raved about the food and our apperitif (called bicycle thief) and how authentic it was and mentioned to her that this experience was adding even more magic to our evening after my proposal. She must have rushed and told her colleagues, as we were shortly visited by Andew, the co-owner (?)/chef/ manager who personally congratulated us and we chatted briefly about the restaurant and it's success in its early life. Everyone that came to congratulate us did so in a very warm and heart-felt way that actually made us feel a little emotional! It's these little touches that really made our visit what it was: forever memorable. :) We finished off with a dessert (nocino), which left us wanting more!! This is culinary delight as it should be, with 5-star food and a personable service. We will visit again, we will encourage friends and family to visit (with much enthusiasm) and we will even keep in touch from London with a promised post-card! Felix has just set the bar very, very high!

    Phenomenal food, warm and gracious service, and an all around wonderful evening. We had the pleasure of sitting right next to the "pasta lab," and it was such a joy to see Chef Funke and his team at work. Their effort certainly pays off----the pastas were outstanding. We had the oxtail gnochetti and the malloreddus (saffron pasta with lamb) and both were perfectly done. The gnochetti, especially, is a can't miss. We also had the brisket, which was meltingly tender and quite filling. But, we somehow managed to save room for dessert, and the tiramisu and budino were exceptional. Beyond the food, the service was truly impressive. We had a slight hiccup with our order, and the response was above and beyond. The team at Felix was attentive and very thoughtful, and it was a pleasure to spend the evening in their company. In fact, we had such a lovely time that I just cancelled my prior birthday reservations elsewhere and booked a table at Felix to celebrate next month. Can't think of a place in the city I'd rather go right now!

    One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Evan Funke has outdone himself. Caci e pepo... lamb chops oh and the wine - I think we polished off at least 2 bottles at our table. We also had the most knowledgeable waitress I have ever had in Los Angeles. Feels very uncommon in Venice Beach to have staff that knows their food and wine. Will be back in as soon as I can get another reservation. Definitely worth the wait outside the door.
