“During pandemic lockdown I discover Chef Funke's "American Sfoglino." I ordered the cookbook, the matterello, etc. and got to work trying to make his hand made pasta. Finally got to experience his homemade pasta last night at "Felix" in Venice, CA. It was everything we'd expected... authentic Italian pastas & pizzas, layered with regional flavors passionately prepared. Our server was fab and could answer all our menu questions with knowledge and excitement. Grazie mille!. No eye contact, no welcome greeting, no smile, no "do you have questions?" and seemingly NO interest in her job other to look nice. On the way out we noticed her giving zero customer service to every“

“I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“We love this place for a sunny lunch/brunch on the weekends to grab a burger, some drinks and the kale salad we love. You can’t beat the prices and being able to catch some sun in a non pretentious manner. Not giving 5 stars because the girl working the bar has been consistently rude and doesn’t seem to enjoy her job which is kind of a buzz kill but otherwise 5 stars ✨“

The fish and beef were spectacular as was the dessert.Also, the service was top notch. Special shout out to Jamie our server, she handled our group amazingly, kept the drinks flowing (which were also great, thanks amazing bartenders) and ensured our whole experience was exceptional.“

“A high quality spot right off the boardwalk. The pastas and steak were fantastic. The menu always has new items worth trying. The staff are friendly, know the menu inside and out, and have great suggestions. The squash blossoms are a go-to appetizer but honestly everything is good. I noticed a few customers had dietary restrictions and the staff came out with a menu marked with notes to help them order. Super nice!Vegetarian options: Can ask staff for custom orderDietary restrictions: Can order custom - they will mark the menu with what they can accommodateParking: Limited parking with free street and valet nearbyWheelchair accessibility: All one level with ramps“

Our server Naomi was absolutely amazing, she had great energy and was a life saver, we forgot to bring candles for the cake and she was able to discreetly hide the cake and bring it out covered in candles and a happy birthday sign! We will definitely be coming back!“

“The very first time at Zinque, and the experience was good. Since we were there early enough, we simply walked up to place an order and pay before finding a table. We found a comfortable booth while waiting for our food. We picked one item each from the display and shared. The food was tasty. Later on, we used a QR code at the table to place another order. This was simpler!! We ended up staying there for five hours without any disturbances. There were many others who seemed to be working while enjoying a cup of coffee while others were enjoying quick lunch. Now that we know how it works, we would definitely return to try other signature dishes.“

“We came here for dinner. When we arrived, they seated us at a very, very low table (like to our knees) right next to the crowd at the bar. They didn’t have any other tables to switch to, and because of the noise and the fact that we wanted to eat real food, we considered leaving. We decided to stick it out and thankfully the food made up for it!!! We ordered the eggplant, the potatoes, the buffalo cauliflower, the olives, and the octopus. I would highly recommend ALL of them, except maybe the octopus. It was good and I liked the combination of flavors, but it was more large meaty chunks of octopus when I typically prefer more thin and crispy. Overall, the food was fantastic.“

The food is superb - very creative, something I'd expect in Mexico City...NOT your standard chips & salsa Mexican style. I'd give it 5 out of 5 - maybe they'll open in Palm Springs! Friendly, helpful servers guided our choices - thanks!“

“Amazing Caesar salad! Great flavor and depth to the dressing in a generous portion with just the best crunchies. Def one of the better ones we have had here in LA. Burger was whatever, not the best and not worth $20+ - don't recommend. Outdoor patio was incredibly beautiful and service was fantastic.Parking: free neighborhood parking around the area before the beach main streets or valet $$$“

“Really nice place. They have a cute courtyard at the back,in the shade. It’s really lovely and cooler than outside.There was a long queue to get in, so I assume it must be a popular place.I ordered a Hollywood Bowl which is essentially a chicken and cranberry salad with A LOT of rocket! The food tasted good. The sauce was good too. The portion was too big for me… and I felt quite upset about the food wastage…Staff was great! Very friendly, with a smile, and they were under the pump!“
