The 21 Best Italian Restaurants in Los Angeles

"In pasta maestro Evan Funke’s third installment in Los Angeles, he brought together what made him famous in a towering three-level space in Beverly Hills. The first floor conjures tasteful ’90s throwback vibes (save for the slightly out-of-place neon sign reading “The Last Great Adventure Is You.”) while the mezzanine contains a boisterous set of tightly-packed tables. Upstairs, a rooftop with cocktails and the full menu is open for no-reservation seating. The bill of fare meanders through Funke’s greatest hits, from tomato-and-cheese topped sfincione, extruded pasta, and fully handmade pasta prepared in a glass-enclosed lab near the entrance. It’s a lot, but that’s what you come to Beverly Hills for: the full Evan Funke Italian extravaganza." - Matthew Kang, Eater Staff
