I live in Echo Park so this restaurant is only a hop skip and a jump from home so I'm a frequent visitor however whenI lived in the valley I used to drive there because I knew the food would be outstanding I really believe it's the best Italian food outside Northern Italy and I make this distinction because southern Italian cuisine is very heavy on tomato sauce and until quite recently most Italian restaurants in Los Angeles also slopped a heavy tomato sauce over everything and it became virtually impossible to avoid thisFarfalla has a wide menu and uses the best ingredients their salads with that delicious mouth watering buffalo mozzerella are memorable and something to dream about the restaurant is not large soit's bst to reserve a table especially on week-ends as it gets very busy lunchtimes it's not as busy and I've been lucky many times to just walk in and get a table no fuss no problem. the Maitre "D" has been there forever and is a most gracious hos ... more

I live in the Los Feliz area and have been going to this restaurant since I was a kid. It hasnt changed all that much, and the food has always been top notch. I prefer it to any other Italian restaurant in town. It boasts some of the best pasta you'll ever have (the ravioli in sage sauce is my favorite). The place is cozy, great atmosphere, and despite being so small it always has good business but not a lot of noise. Perfect for a date and even take out.

Menu selections are simply splendid. From the wide variety of pizzas to the home made dishes you can't beat it! Their white pizzas are really great too! Nice change from the traditional run of the mill pizza. I would highly recommend this resturant if you are in the mood for italian food!

This is by far and away the best Italian restaurant in LA. I recently went there and had seared pork dish with a parsely demi sauce that was excellent. the atmosphere is quaint it is small and seems to be a ma and pa operation which adds to the charm. The had great service and excellent wine, don't miss this place.

Gnocchi and pesto pizza are out of this world. The chef knows just how long to cook fish and steak, never dry or undersone. I would kill for their fish supplier...always fresh. never fishy. Pastas are outstanding, especially the pink sauces. Only drawback is the dessert...probably supplied frozen and mass-produced. Weekends can be very busy. Crowded, small tables, but in a bustling, fun kind of way.

It is the best restaurant if you like italian food. You should go and try it out once. The service is great and the food is great! I have been going there all my life. So go and enjoy the great food that they have. PS: try the penne checca

Farfalla Trattoria on Hillhurst in Los Feliz is one of the best Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. They have wonderful ambience, great service and superb food. All my friends from New York love it too. They never miss an opportunity to go there when they are in town.
