Funke

This multi-floor Italian spot in Beverly Hills is the third restaurant from the Willy Wonka of pasta, chef Evan Funke. And much like his other two spots, Mother Wolf and Felix, Funke is the kind of exciting, blowout dinner spot that actually deserves the hype. The loud dining room is full of Gucci-clad guests sipping vintage Barolo and shouting travel stories over perfectly al dente orecchiette. You’ll have the kind of fancy Italian experience where servers course the meal with precision and refill water before you hit empty. But you’ll do it in the shadow of a 20-foot glass pasta workshop where cooks roll fresh agnolotti for your entertainment and eventual enjoyment. Come here the next time you want to throw down on a baller meal that’s actually fun, or head up to the walk-in-only rooftop for a special occasion date night.
