This place is a hidden gem. The pizza and pasta was incredible and service was excellent. Wine list is also on point! I would highly recommend if in the area!
The penne pasta was absolutely delicious. It was creamy but still dynamic and was such a comfort food. The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was perfect with it. I did not particularly love the pizza because I felt the cheese tastes too "milky" but my sister liked it and said it tasted fresh. The starting bread was super underwhelming along with the garlic confit. The bread was hard and cold. The pasta stole the show for sure!
Quick stop on the way home from playing tourist for the day - I was tired and hungry from not having eaten all day. Got sat immediately without reservations at 7pm on a Friday night which is always a special treat. Everyone there was super friendly and service was impeccable. Except we weren't offered a drink nor were we read the specials - which we didn't even notice until we had a different server at the table next to us going through everything. It was a blessing really as we just wanted to eat and leave. I had the penne arrabiata which is my go to when there are too many delicious choices. It was good. I could only eat half as it was a generous serving. Not the best one I've ever had but it hit the spot. However we got a bit of bread before the pasta with a dipping oil with herbs and sundried tomato and garlic that I wish I could have poured over my pasta - it was delish! Great atmosphere / I would love to go back and try something else.
What a gem in Los Feliz! The portions are big and reasonable. The ambiance is romantic and cozy. Authentic Italian feel to the place. Loved the wines and pastas. Ther service was quick. Will come back again!
Hadn't had Farfalla in years and ordered take-out from them this Sunday and was happily surprised. Started with the Contadina, light veggies with goat cheese that was seasoned perfectly and rich in flavor. The pastas were delicious! My favorite was the Farfalle al Salmone, bowtie pasta with peas served in a light pink sauce. The Tagliolini Gamberetti was also delicious and a bit lighter in flavor. My favorite pasta here was the Ravioli di Zucca, though I haven't had that in years. I did also order the apple tart which arrived cold, but I'm thinking that's cause this was an Uber Eats order. The flavor was still great and the apples delicious, I'm certain this must taste amazing fresh and warm. As far as delivery Italian food goes, this was a win! Parmesan cheese and bread on the side, dishes all packaged extremely well, and all items arriving fresh and tasty. Will definitely be ordering from them again and will gladly go in person as well.
