Customer Reviews
Funke is a beautiful restaurant with an incredible atmosphere--elegant, lively, and very much a "Beverly Hills night out" kind of place. It's definitely very expensive, but the food overall was excellent and you can truly taste the quality, especially in the homemade pasta. We've been to Felix in Venice (same restaurant group), and Funke feels very similar in both vibe and menu style--if you loved Felix, you'll likely enjoy Funke as well. The service had a few hiccups. At times we felt a little rushed, and there were moments where food was delivered but our plates and silverware were taken away and we were left waiting while the food sat on the table. That said, our waitress was very informative and knowledgeable about the menu, which we appreciated. Cocktails however were outrageous in
Had dinner at the rooftop. Really nice vibe! The food is amazing, definitely get the tiramisu for dessert. Slight downsides: Whoever was in charge of the music was playing some hip hop that didn’t really match the vibe in our opinion. Also we did get recommended a bottle of wine that was totally off with what we had asked for (but the sommelier came after and gave us something different that was really good) Still the food was so good I would definitely go back and recommend, maybe try some of the other areas of the restaurant.
This wasn't just dinner; it was a spiritual experience. First off, the hospitality was elite. I’m not a celebrity (spoiler alert), but the staff made me feel like I was accepting a Grammy. We were honestly a bit "extra" with our reservation changes, and instead of being annoyed, they were unbelievably patient and kind. They made us feel so welcome that I was approximately 3 seconds away from grabbing a server's hand and asking, "So… what are we?" 😭 The Libations: - Sole Nudo: Loved it. 10/10. - Sicilia: Just okay, but didn't ruin the vibe. The Main Events (The Food): - The Focaccia: The best I have ever had. Period. The outer layer is perfectly crispy, but it melts in your mouth. It was slightly on the salty side (maybe tone it down a pinch?), but I forgive you because it was delicious.
My wife and I had the most wonderful time at Funke this past Saturday. We came for the pasta of course, but the evening was made so memorable with the incredible warmth and service from Cameron. He was attentive but not overbearing and we had a wonderful discussion about both Chef Evan and different cuisines around the world. Back to the food, focaccia, arancini, three pastas and bomboloni all with a great brunello. A truly exceptional night of food, wine and fun at Funke. We will definitely be back.
We went there for our one year anniversary. The staff was impeccable fast to clean after each dish. Fast to fill up our glasses with water. Very attentive. They paced the dishes we ordered perfectly. The focaccia had a cotton candy like texture. It would melt in our mouths. The fresh prosciutto tasted like home. (I’m Italian born and raised). The drinks had this ice you could see through it looked like glass. The pastas….I don’t have words. The ragù…oh my gosh…Che meraviglia… Oh! The desert also super fun and delicious. A sampler plate I loved them all. We saw the chef on a documentary on Netflix months ago and decided to save this experience for something important. We did and drove there from San Diego. I wish I remembered the server’s name. She was awesome too. Brunette, curly hair, swe
