truthfully, i was a bit let down by this place after hearing such high praise and have difficulty rating between a 3 or 4.

as my partner and i entered the restaurant, an employee and a guest(?) were blocking the entrance while having a conversation. we were seated quickly for our 5:00 pm reservation. the restaurant is nicely decorated, and i appreciated the open-concept view of the pasta-making process.

our waiter came to us quickly and asked us if we’ve been here before, and if we had any questions. we settled on two cocktails recommended by the waiter (the clear one, which i ordered, was a bit too strong for me so i switched to the darker one which was more of my preference – lighter, sweeter, and fruitier).

we started off with the foccacia and the squash blossoms, which were both very oily. the foccacia was very soft, cake-like, and flavorful, and the squash blossoms had a bit too much of the ricotta filling on the inside (if that’s something you like then i’d recommend it). it was a little overpowering, and along with the oiliness, made it a tad difficult to eat more than 1. the star of the night was definitely the agrumi (citrus with olives, fennel, mint, and pistachio). the medley of all the flavors together was such a nice and refreshing taste after having the oily items. definitely something i would get again.

the margherita pizza was nice, but it wasn’t the best i’ve ever had. though i really enjoyed the chewiness of the crust. the tagliatelle and the busiatte, both recommended by the waiter and also popular items, was again, nothing special and the flavors were not hitting the spot.

lastly, we ordered a tiramisu, which did not stand out either. but it was still a sweet treat to push down the oiliness of the meal.

we came in to celebrate our anniversary and the staff was very kind to put a candle on the dessert, and bring us two glasses of complementary champagne which was a very nice gesture and addition.

i would want to come again some day to try different items and hopefully change my mind about this place.

Let’s just start with the white truffle pasta, out of this world divine, and yet so simply prepared and perfect in every way, worth the $100, for us yes! We much prefer quality over quantity. We had two other pasta dishes, all extremely good. The market salad was light, simple, healthy and delicious, for us the way prefer a salad. The Somm help us choose a perfect bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary. The cannoli and the gelato were also worth the calories. If I were a local, this would be my neighborhood spot! We loved sitting next to the pasta making room.

For Venice this was 5* for me. Attentive staff, good cocktail/wine list, and most marvelous sausage/rabe orecchiette pasta. Loved the meatballs, okay pizza (mostly because all LA pizzas taste the same, soggy in the middle, yeasty fluffy crust and whatever else on the middle), but the pasta…it was a little chewy, a little doughy (all in the best way possible), perfectly saucy, spiced to perfection. The Nebbiolo they source washes down splendidly after all the protein/carb intake. Servers are attentive, knowledgeable, non-intrusive but always around and quick.

Came here for a birthday dinner. We had great service and got all questions answered professionally, especially one person has an allergy. All the food was delicious so at the end there was nothing left on the plate 😀

Wow! Amazing service from Kelly and a dining experience that was nothing short of perfect. Every dish, from the appetizers to the dessert, was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and handmade pasta that melts in your mouth—what more could you ask for? A true culinary delight! thank you!

Fantastic meal at Felix! You really can’t go wrong with an Evan Funke restaurant. The pasta was perfectly made, and the flavors were spot on. That said, I do wish the menu felt a little more distinct from his other restaurants. It’s definitely in line with his signature style, so if you’ve been to his other spots, you’ll find a lot of overlap.

The quality and service are definitely there—the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is cozy but lively, with a great energy for date night or a special dinner with friends. Overall, Felix is absolutely worth a visit.

Joined friends for dinner, it was our first time and the meal and service was amazing. We sat in the patio area, which was nice it being a warm night. The food came out delicious and the service was on point. Perfect place for date night.

I had one of the worst dining experiences at Felix Trattoria. Our server, a white blonde woman, seemed friendly on the surface—but what happened with the food was unacceptable.

First, we ordered the walnut salad. It arrived with absolutely no walnuts. Strangely enough, the table right next to us got the exact same salad at the same time, and theirs was full of walnuts. When I pointed this out, the server apologized and just brought walnuts on the side. At first, I thought it was just a mistake or bad luck.

Then the shrimp (gamberoni) came out—salty but still decent. The real nightmare started after that. We waited 20–30 minutes for our pizza while the table next to us got theirs much faster. We brushed it off, but after finishing the pizza, we ended up waiting another 40 minutes for our pasta. By then, we were furious.

When the pasta finally arrived, it was inedible. It was so salty it actually tasted bitter. It was the kind of salt overload that makes you feel like even in death, your body still wouldn’t decompose. Everyone at the table took one bite and gave up. The pasta texture itself was fine, but serving food like that is disgraceful.

On the outside, the staff put on a smile, but if you’re going to play games with the food, that’s something this restaurant should be ashamed of. Especially since this place was recommended by someone we trust, and they specifically said it wasn’t salty. That makes me believe this wasn’t an accident—it felt deliberate.

And as if that wasn’t enough, when we asked for the check, they brought us the wrong bill. We had ordered four dishes and a glass of wine, but the check showed $440—obviously not ours. Imagine if we hadn’t noticed. So here’s my advice: if you ever dine here, always double-check your bill unless you want to get ripped off.

So thanks for giving us the worst dining experience possible. But here’s a tip: don’t ever do this again. Tourists aren’t stupid. And if this was rooted in discrimination, that only shows your true lack of class.

Felix Trattoria does not miss. The burrata with persimmons was unreal, fresh, creamy, and the persimmons made it feel special. And the pizza? I’m not even a pizza person, but I was obsessed. Spicy pepperoni with the perfect heat. 10/10 dinner.

Food was incredible. Had the prawns, in-house focaccia, squash blossoms with herbed ricotta, and the pappardelle w/ragù toscano, fennel pollen & parmigiano reggiano.

Nothing fell flat, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I will definitely come here again when I’m back in LA for work.

Server’s were extremely helpful and kind.
