Farfalla - Los Feliz - Los Angeles

I highly recommend this charming Italian restaurant for delicious food at affordable prices. They serve generous portions and offer bread with olive oil before your meal. Be sure to try the Farfalle with salmon - it's a must!

I believe this is the top Italian restaurant in town. I recently dined there and tried the spaghetti amatriciana, which had a perfect blend of flavors, spice, and meat. My partner had the lasagna bolognese, which was filling and delicious. The wine pairing was spot on. The service was traditional and attentive, making us feel like part of the family. Additionally, the prices were slightly lower than other trendy restaurants nearby, providing great value.

The service and food were absolutely fantastic. The seating may be a bit cramped, but I see it as part of the restaurant's old Hollywood charm.

I was at the Griffith Observatory and found this restaurant nearby. The staff was super nice. I chose a table at the corner outside next to the traffics light. It was a funny weird. The penne with arrabiatta sauce was great. The penne was Al dente, which is perfect. The sauce was spicy enough to make my nose run, and 4 spoons of the cheese made it cheesy, fatty enough to enjoy. I added seared shrimps but actually no need. The penne and sauce itself made it just right. The restaurant free appetizer was good too, the garlic and paprika in oil. The old classic chocolate cake was really rich but not too sweet, the chocolate coating was mirror shiny. Generally I like this place, the vibe and the food

Vibe and service was great, however the food was very average. I didn’t feel like I was eating at an Italian restaurant, felt more like eating in a diner. Big portions making up for mediocre flavor and quality. For that I also found it overpriced.
