"No matter how many times you’ve eaten pasta together, Felix will impress you. This Abbot Kinney spot has a glassed-in, refrigerated pasta-making room where you can watch people rolling out tagliatelle while you eat. The rigatoni all’amatriciana is arguably the best plate of pasta in LA, and the focaccia is going to ruin regular bread for you,. Reservations here aren’t easy, but if you show up before 6 or after 9:30pm, you can usually get a couple seats together at the bar." - Brett Keating
