Reviews for The Factory Kitchen in Los Angeles, CA

Great option for a business dinner venue. They planned it really well for a party of 14. Service was amazing. Food was delish.... We ended ordering a bunch of appetizers as there were a lot of great options and a couple of pasta dishes. My favorite app wasProsciutto, peperu and Scottona. I will definitely be back for dinner. Highly recommend. Read more

We ordered 6 dishes and each one was both unique and delicious. The only miss (and not a big one) was the dessert. We had 1)... peperú - soft cheese stuffed sweet&spicy peppers, grana padano, arugula oil - Delicious 2) prosciutto - thinly sliced parmaprosciutto, lightly fried sage dough, stracciatella - Holy Moly! 3) funghi - crescenza, foraged pioppini mushrooms, extravirgin olive oil, italian parsley - This gets an OK, great flavor but it isn't foccacia as most of us know if and the thindough didn't really hold up 4) casonzei - pork sausage & beef filled egg-pasta, brown butter, pancetta, sage, parmigiano - Really yummy 5) ossobuco - nebbiolo braised veal shanks, root vegetables-roasting jus reduction, polenta - Really good &savory, a tiny bit dry The aforementioned dessert, the tiramasu was just Eh.

Lovely regional Italian food from Liguria in a chic setting with excellent service. Although the handmade pasta is the star,... don't discount the excellent fried leeks appetizer (light and deft), the cipollini onions (perfectly cooked with Balsamicvinegar) and especially the veal sweetbreads (delicate, flavorful, on a bed of vegetables). Nice ginger mocktail as well. Read more

I've been to Factory Kitchen multiple times and it's always a great, flavorful experience. This time we ordered multiple dishes... to try. The prosciutto is super good. The creamy cheese complements the prosciutto nicely. Also had the flatbread tradizionalewhich was very good as well. Booth mains were great. Mandilli di seta home made pasta was cooked perfectly and the Porchetta wasSO good, melted in my mouth! Always great here and will continue to beat favorite stop for Italian food Read more

Phenomenal dining experience. Worth every penny. The beets appetizer, all the pastas (mostly the gnocchi), the bread pudding -... perfect. Insanely delicious. Great service. Perfect for special intimate dinner. — Came back a second time and removed astar. The beets appetizer is still phenomenal but not all the pasta dishes are that great. Would pass on the ravioli and theother clams pasta. The pizzata was OK, sorta soggy. The prosciutto appetizer and duck entree were boring and uninspired. Read more

Everything was really good! Some dishes were a bit salty for my personal taste but the quality was there. This was my second... time here and I'm definitely coming back for more! Read more

I had the casonzei pasta and it was, zero hyperbole, the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life. My waiter recommended a... great wine to pair with it. I really liked the ambiance as well: low lighting and appropriate music. Also, the service was soincredibly warm, giving and glad to be there!!! I highly recommend dining here!!! Read more

You have to love the cool, chic, industrial factory-type open feel of the place here. They do almost everything correct... the... service at the door... even while frantic on a Saturday night... is cool calm and very professional. We were seated exactly ontime for our reservation. The bar, while small is very comfortable and offers a full menu if you feel like that’s more ofyour jam. with the open feature of the restaurant you could sit at the bar watch the dining room, and the kitchen at the sametime. The overall vibe of the place is great also... with a house soundtrack that will keep the energy of the room high and afew times you could even hear people singing along. They have a signature sheet pasta with a homemade pesto sauce that is trulyone of the best dishes in the world and a must-have. They also have porchetta that is the best I’ve tasted in the UnitedStates. Unfortunately, I had to take a star off because they were out of two of the five entrées offered that evening. I wasleft with a choice between the liver, red snapper, or a big steak... And while certain times any of those options may have beenfine I was disappointed that I ultimately couldn’t order what I came to eat. Read more
