hope you get to try the lobster or the uni pasta.
Hope I get to try both
A big THANK YOU to you, @PorkyBelly. That lobster pasta was LEGIT. My husband, who loves both pasta and lobster, declared it his most favoritest pasta everrr and demanded we go once a month for that dish alone.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have the uni pasta on the menu Wednesday, but the vongole pasta was also stellar - such great chew on the pasta, and that briny, garlicky sauce! The polipo was more charred than it was during your visit (maybe they have spies here), and it was delicious as well. Our chef friend finished the plate, sauce and all.
The one disappointment was the fiori di zucca, which came as 6 or 7 small stuffed flowers, no zucchini attached. (And once again, I regretfully had to share my walnut budino with everyone else. Apparently I never learn.)
All in all another great meal that makes it harder for us to try new places because we find ourselves wanting to come back here.
Echoing many of you, the lobster pasta is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had.
Nice, I’m glad you liked it, thanks for the report.
i’ve already made my next dinner lobster spaghetti reservation
that time you go to Felix for the lobster spaghettone, uni pasta, clam busiati, and black truffle gnocchi but none of them are on the menu
sficione - focaccia siciliana, sea salt & rosemary
tremendous as always
not pasta
arrosticini - grilled lamb shoulder skewers, green garlic salsa verde
mezze maniche alla carbonara - guanciale, black pepper, egg, pecorino romano dop
way too salty and rich, my friend and i couldn’t even finish half the plate.
spaghetti al sugo do polipo - octopus, pomodoro, peperoncino
highlight of the night, tender chunks of smoky octopus in a light but creamy sauce.
lorighittas ai frutti di mare
off menu special. the server explains it takes two cooks some long amount of time to make a plate of these sardinian rings of braided pasta. unfortunately the pasta was too thick and under-cooked/raw in the middle.
Hi @PorkyBelly,
Love that cartoon panel. Your visit kind of mirrors mine recently (I haven’t written up yet). Some really salty and not so good dishes for our visit as well.
were you able to try the lobster or uni spaghetti?
No, unfortunately.
i have two reservations for two that i can’t use, 4/20 @ 7pm and 4/21 @ 7pm. let me know if anybody is interested. i accept payments in the form of uni.
Did you score last minute invite to Coachella?
reservations have been taken.
Strangolapreti (Spinach and Parmesan dumplings).
My friend and I had a great time at Felix last night (thank you @PorkyBelly!).
FTC confession: We forgot to order pasta!
I did ask whether they had lobster/crab/uni, etc, but the only fish they had that night was the branzino, which was great. I wonder if there is a secret menu… There was one special offered that evening, fried artichokes, which were fabulous.
I really liked Felix, the food, service, ambience and wine were all terrific, and Chef Funke is so genuine and nice. I can’t wait to go back. I haven’t been this happy with a new place since Bestia.
had those Thursday - divine.
So too was
The grilled Quail with mushrooms (no picture)
AND one of these shots is
FOGLIE D’OLIVA (pesto di fave
& pecorino pugliese) Fava pesto
And this baby wich was beef and onions cooked down like crazy till it was like French Onion soup on top of bombolotti
I wanted quail! Next time.
The quail is excellent and highly recommended, though not a large portion so, depending on how hungry you are, you might want to order a pasta in addition.
I believe it was 30 bucks for one quail (we had to get 2 orders for our 4-some) - must be very expensive mushrooms that come with
Yes, at Craft one quail is $38, but oh so delicious. And the mushrooms are a side order. Why must these chefs toy with us this way? We just want a giant platter of quail, and somewhere to toss the little bones when done sucking on them.
Gotta go chinese for that!
Or Vietnamese.
