Yes, I agree with that too.
Just out of curiosity - obviously prices have gone up over the last 2-3 years and pasta at Funke is made by hand etc. but seeing prices of some of these pasta dishes reaching $50 (which I would call on the very high end compared to many, many other places) I am just wondering is his pasta so much better than anywhere else or is it just good quality and additional hype/PR.
Gotta make that Beverly Hills rent.
the latter and also the beverly hills premium.
The agnolotti dal plin are labor intensive so I can see why they’d want to charge a premium. But now the prices of the other pastas have increased. Not sure why.
The why is quite simple. Because he can.
funke still killing it. highlight was the off-menu anchovy pasta, light but with a deep savory flavor. hope it sticks around.
