"Getting your Eastside friends to leave the Eastside is like getting Bette Midler to agree to a Hocus Pocus sequel - it’s not going to happen. So you might as well just cut your losses and suggest Farfalla from the get-go. The casual Italian spot in Los Feliz has a massive menu with a bunch of sections that you can completely ignore (pizzas and entrees) and one section that you can’t - the pastas. The ravioli di magro and pesto gnocchi are the biggest standouts, but you should also throw in the farfalle with salmon because everyone knows that bowtie pasta has the most fun. The same can be said for your friends when they’re in their comfort zones." - brant cox
