I’m thinking of ordering for a special occasion this Sat.
From what I can see from the Felix website and here, it seems like you order same-day, and that the earliest ordering time is about noon-ish? Are the pasta kits for 2 actually a decent amount of food for 2?
The orecchiette I ordered a few weeks ago was plenty for 2. You may want to order 2 sfincione because it is so good! Follow the instructions to heat up…I used my convection toaster oven for the bread and it was fantastic…my family loved it. I also got the pesto sauce, too…and that was lovely with grilled chicken and boxed pasta later in the week.
And you can only order while the restaurant is open for business. When I ordered, I had to wait until they opened at 11AM on Saturday to process it. You can then choose your pick-up time or order ASAP. I chose ASAP, and it was ready by 11:30.
the focaccia comes cold and is meant to be reheated. even after sitting in the fridge overnight it came out perfectly after reheating in the toaster over for 3-4 minutes. the pizza comes hot but i reheated it per the instructions when i got home and it was also perfect.
as @attran99 mentioned you can only order same day and only when they’re open, 12-9pm on saturdays. however when i ordered online i couldn’t specify a pick-up time, the only option was ASAP. i called them and they said to place your order about 20 minutes before you’re ready to pick-up.
one focaccia and a pasta kit for two was plenty of food for me, so i would imagine it would be perfect for two non-gluttons.
I’d say they’re two small portions (ie Italian-size pasta servings). We ordered a pizza and a pasta for two people and had a little bit of pizza left over. Also as others have said you place your order and it’s ready when it’s ready. At 5:30 on Easter Sunday that was 40 minutes.
" … and during the nearly two-hour interview Funke claimed that his standards are so high that he refuses to “eat pasta in North America, whatsoever.” He went on the clarify that he would eat dried pasta in North America, before hammering down on the statement’s original intent: “I only eat pasta in Italy.”"
(An aside: does anyone monitor the comments section on Eater? Seems like they’re becoming increasingly, um, unpleasant.)
The most amusing part of the interview was when he said that he likely didn’t get a Michelin star because the reviewers could not get reservation, due to him being booked out for four weeks. Who knows the truth, but I find that hard to believe. Not that FTC folks care about stars anyway.
Food is good at Felix but after spending $500 for four people last time, I didn’t feel like the service and overall experience was acceptable at that price. My report on that is somewhere here. Haven’t been back since.
If you are annoyed by cocky attitudes, don’t listen to the rest of the interview.
(Probably belongs on the “Confessions” thread): I don’t have an IG account and haven’t a clue as to my Twitter password; I’m curious to read him, now - thank you for the recommendation.
