Los Angeles’s Best New Restaurants Of 2017

"Some restaurants take a minute to figure things out, but not Felix. This upscale Italian place on Abbot Kinney has had it together from the minute they opened in April, and is confident in a way most restaurants (and, come to think of it, people) will never be. They serve a big menu, but they’re booked solid every night of the week for one reason: the incredible pasta. The 10+ daily offerings are made in a climate-controlled room in the middle of the restaurant, and while they’re excellent across the board, we’d eat the rigatoni all’Amatriciana every day if our bodies and wallets could take it. If you want to reaffirm that going out to eat is the best hobby you’ve got, have dinner at Felix." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
