The Best Pasta Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"It’s hard to deny that chef Evan Funke’s eponymous restaurant in Beverly Hills is the epicenter of pasta in Los Angeles. The restaurant’s two-story glass-and-steel workshop cranks out a dozen different shapes: six formed by hand and six that are extruded. In addition to the popular pasta dishes served at the chef’s other restaurants (Mother Wolf and Felix), Funke brings in a few newcomers like the Piemontese classic agnolotti del plin. Don’t necessarily feel compelled to order the menu highlighted tagliatelle bolognese that runs nearly $50. It’s terrific, but plenty of other pastas are worthy of ordering, like the Puglian-style orechiette with sausage or the near-perfect rigatoni all’arabbiata." - Matthew Kang
