From their website, ‘Funke by Evan Funke is a place where the generational histories and culinary traditions of Italy can live in full illustration. Exploring the regions less traveled and seeking out the rare, obscure pasta shapes and the women who have mastered them. The pasta laboratorio at Funke by Evan Funke is a conduit between the pasta maker and guest.’ From the Los Angeles Eater website, ‘It’s hard to deny that chef Evan Funke’s eponymous restaurant in Beverly Hills is the epicenter of pasta in Los Angeles. The restaurant’s two-story glass-and-steel workshop cranks out a dozen different shapes: six formed by hand and six that are extruded. In addition to the popular pasta dishes served at the chef’s other restaurants (Mother Wolf and Felix), Funke brings in a few newcomers like the Piemontese classic agnolotti del plin.’ From Salty magazine, ‘Chef Evan Funke is a consummate storyteller: retelling familial tales embedded in the old world, those of artisanal pasta and the Italian kitchen. In his kitchens in the City of Angels, far from the genesis, an American chef is folding the symbols of time and shades of regional Italy into his love of cooking. The spokesman for times past is expertly balancing technique with nostalgia while upending preconceived notions of Italian food culture in Los Angeles.’
