Our first time visiting this restaurant with high expectations. First, the good news: great location, easy valet parking, great atmosphere, first class table service. Second, the food. The Pizzata (tomato and anchovies pizza) and Prosciutto (on sage dough with a wonderful sauce) we had for starters were excellent. And the Dentice (imported snapper) was fine. But the Fegato (calf liver) was ordinary; the Casonzei (filled egg-pasta) was dry with little sauce; and the Cavoletti (charred brussels sprouts) lacked flavor. The worst dish was Mandilli Di Seta (a flat pasta with an ordinary sauce). They need to do better.

So disappointed. The place is nice though very noisy. We had high expecting but nothing was good. The prechutto was tasty but came with a big blob of cheese that didn’t fit in. Not to mention the base that is tasty but very hard to cut making sharing very awkward. The green salad with dates had maybe three tiny pieces of dates. The the focaccia was bland. The Brussels sprouts were not well cooked and quite bitter. The sausage stuffed pasta and the pasta with the rabbit were not bad but not very flavorful. Lastly the banana bread pudding felt as if it was heated in the microwave. Service of our waiters was very slow and not attentive at all. Once food was ready getting it to the table and off the table was efficient.

We had an unreal lunch here. All the food we had was incredible. The mandilli, modenesi, fagianella and scottona were all so delicious. Our server Juancarlos was so nice an super helpful. I don't think I've ever had pasta this good! We're going to need a trip back to LA just for this place. Definitely highly recommend checking this spot out!
Be the first to ReplyDon’t bother making a reservation here
Reservations here are pointless - they won’t honor it anyway. I’d like to start by saying I was really excited to try this restaurant. I’ve heard lots of good things and was looking forward to coming here to celebrate my friend’s birthday dinner. We made a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night, and our entire party arrived at 8pm on the dot. When we checked in with the hostess, she informed us that we’d have to wait a little longer while they cleared out the table. After ~15 minutes, we still hadn’t received any communication from the hostess so we checked in again. She informed us that they were waiting for another party to finish up their dessert, then we’d be seated. We continued waiting for a total of 40 minutes past our original reservation time before we asked to speak to a manager. The hostess attempted to brush us off, saying that the manager would be coming shortly even though we clearly saw him wandering around the restaurant. We finally managed to get a hold of Jeff Smith, the manager, and explained to him that we had made a reservation for 8pm, but it was 8:45 at this point and we still hadn’t been seated. Jeff made no apologies for the inconvenience, and instead said “I don’t know what you want me to do, you wouldn’t like it if I tried to rush your party out of the restaurant.” You’re right, Jeff, we wouldn’t like that. But we also didn’t like it when you refused to honor the reservation we made either. At this point, we decided that it wasn’t worth the wait and informed Jeff that we’d like to cancel our reservation. Jeff responded by saying “Where are you going to go? I know this area very well and you’re not going to get anywhere better on a Friday night.” He offered us free appetizers for wasting our time, but we decided to call it quits and opted for Ave. 26 tacos instead. In summary, we were shocked at the complete lack of consideration and rudeness of the staff. While the food looked delicious as we saw plenty of other parties being seated and served on time, it simply isn’t worth the trouble of dealing with Mr. Smith and his staff. I recommend visiting all the other places in the area for good food, including Bavel, Bestia, Rossoblu, Maccheroni Republic, and more.

We ordered off the fixed menu. Everything was fire. I definitely was not disappointed. I very much like the area aswell. The parking at night is $12 and during the day is $7. It had a super chíc candlelit sexy type ambiance. I liked it very much
Be the first to ReplyAn Award Winning Dinner in a fun and exciting kitchen.
This is a Michelin Star restaurant. The place was packed. The atmosphere was busy and buzzing. And yet, Our server, Alejandro was on point all night. We had a large group so we had just about everything on the menu at our table. I had a Ribeye steak with Brussel sprouts. I tried some of their bread which was heavenly. Their flavors and plates are pretty complex and feature a variety of flavors in each dish. Lots of folks at the table tried the hand made pastas. They look amazing and the general opinion in our group was that they were amazing. As I mentioned, I had the Controfiletto, a porcini rubbed center cut beef ribeye with bone marrow. It was ever so slightly overcooked...and still, it was completely yummy. Tender, juicy, flavorful, just so good (served at M instead of MR as requested). Our server tried hard to take my meal back to the kitchen. I refused because it was really just a minute or two over the temp I wanted. But the attention to making sure I was satisfied was really special. I enjoyed the atmosphere at this restaurant. At the bar, the bartenders were making the coolest drinks and were happy to chat about everything they were making while they worked. The kitchen is open so you can wander over and watch them make fresh pasta during the evening. Everything about this place is well done. The staff, the location, the food. All just excellent. It's in downtown LA, not a place to walk to, get a car service or an uber.

One of the best meals we have had in quite a while. The prosciutto appetizer was AMAZING! And the pesto pasta dish, delightful. Fast and good service. It is a little loud so smaller parties are a little easier. Go if you are in the area!
Be the first to ReplyBusy and a bit of a trial
Return visit after a few years and basically the same. Very noisy and almost impossible to have a conversation when it is busy. Dont get a table near the bar at the entrance end if possible as you will be overlooked and interrupted by people stood at the bar waiting for a table. Service was slow - there didn't seem to be enough waiting staff to cope. One of our main meals was forgotten and everybody else had finished by the time it arrived. Food was good though but the whole experience was disappointing and not enjoyable at all.
Be the first to ReplyWas it an off night?
I returned not having been there since 2013 hoping for a better experience. But I found service to be disappointing. We sat and sat and sat on a Sunday night. The server had a huge area to cover and it wasn't his fault. And strangely it was about 50% empty at 6 pm. The pastas were good but a little salty for my taste. We had the pasta de mar and the pasta with sausage which were ok but certainly not extraordinary. The sound is beyond tolerable. We were lucky it was so empty but we still had to scream at each other. Can't they baffle somehow? I think there was a time when they were at the peak of the LA pasta scene but sadly long gone.
Be the first to ReplyThis is the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten
。*Rivioli di mare 32 。*Pizzata 26 。*Cannoli 12 Rivioli is awesome. Pizzata is crispbread, mozzarella cheese is good too. Service is good.

This was an outstanding experience for truly unusual Italian food. Specifically noteworthy are starters , pasta dishes and the desserts. If I were to return I probably would get the Prosciutto appetizer as a main course and then fill my belly with the cannoli. That appetizer was the best thing ever! The staff was very courteous. This is not an inexpensive restaurant but I think it’s worth every penny.
Be the first to ReplyVegan unfriendly
Don’t go if you are a Vegan. I took a party of 6 who all enjoyed their meal but all I could have was a bowl of onions and a plate of Brussel sprouts. They made no effort to try and cater for my dietary requirements and just brought out two separate side dishes for my main meal. I had to ask for a plate so that I could at least combine them together so I could pretend to be having a main meal with my guests. Desert was equally disappointing as I only had the choice of two sorbets. When I asked if they could at least add some fruit to my sorbet (as the main meal had left me hungry and a bad taste in my mouth of onions) I was told it was impossible as fruit compote could only be used for other desert dishes and not mine. So, for what cost me $800 I had a very disappointing experience and not what I would expect in LA/ California.

Good food in a sketchy part of town...portions were a bit on the small side, but what they lacked in size they made up for in flavor. Everything was really good, and the beer list had a couple of nice surprises.
Be the first to ReplyDelightful Dinner Under the Stars
Our party of three ate dinner in the newly-installed outdoor dining area. Heaters were stationed by each table, an important factor on a cool evening. Service was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. Prices are upscale but not high and reasonable for the quality of food served.
Our table shared two appetizers The first was Tradizionale Focaccina (foccaccio) that was incredibly light, filled with Crecenza cheese, topped with arugala and olive oil, a truly remarkable achievement. Excellent. The other appetizer was Barberosse, oven-roasted beets with Asiago, Romano Cream, and Parmesan cheese: the Parmesan did not work well with the beets. My entrée was the Ravioli di mare, ravioi with shrimp, saffron, crema, zucchini, tomatoes and shrimp tartare: light in texture, excellent taste (I had to ask for salt as it was needed). Dessert were very fresh, very good cannoli filled with mascarpone. A delightful even, unrushed and well tended to.
Orchestra hit all the right notes (almost)
A somewhat not very good server (good enough) did not detract from an excellent meal. The kitchen made up for the guy's shortcomings.
Great outdoor ambience, complemented by a superb meal. The beet/goat cheese appetizer was phenomenal.
Excellent Restaurant
I have been here multiple times. Most recently 2/28/20. Food is excellent. Had both the Mandilli and Casonzei. Highly recommend. The cannoli was one of the best ever. I love cannoli and I almost order every chance I get when I go to Italian restaurants. The ones ar Factory Kitchen were the best. They serve four small pieces per order which is just perfect if you only want one piece to sample or to gorge yourself! I went with my wife and intended to eat only two, but ended up eating three! We thought about taking two home, but I decided to overdo myself! Weill definitely come back when I get a chance.
Be the first to ReplyGood but room to improve
I was excited to try this resturant with a group of friends. I have visited Italy many times, and I found the menu interesting with a creative twist on authentic Italian dishes. Unfortunately, however, the menu was better than the actual taste of the food, but I am getting ahead of myself...
We ubered there from the staples center, and we initially were put off by the areas we passed while driving, which had a lot of homeless persons sleeping in tents. But we turned a corner and arrived to a lively restaurant.
The vibe at the Factory Kitchen is great, although the dining room is very noisy with tables rather close together. It is a trendy urban resturant with exposed beams and warm wood tones. The dining room opens to the kitchen, allowing you to observe the chefs working at the factory. A loud but really nice atmosphere.
Service was excellent. Our waitress was great.
Wine menu was small but had nice offerings. We had a bottle of Pino Nero that was inexpensive but tasted great.
I dined with a vegetarian friend, and there were many options for her on the menu. We tried the Friturra appetizer, with baby leeks and chick pea beer battered fritters. That was very good and it was surprisingly light. I also tried the Sanremese calamari salad. It had tender calamari with nice fresh olives, but the calamari needed a bit more salt. Similarly, we all agreed that our entrees were under seasoned/ under salted. Such a disappointment! Especially because the pasta dishes were homemade with lovely delicate pasta. I had a Colpe de Mare seafood pasta with shrimp and mussels, and it was bland. The seafood had absolutely no seasoning on it. My vegetarian friend tried the Mandilli di seta pasta, which is a thin egg-pasta with a basil almond pesto. She actually asked our server for salt after she tasted it. I tried it and agreed that it was bland. My other friend had the Casonzei pasta, which is a pork sausage and beef filled egg-pasta with pancetta. That was by far the the best tasting dish. Likely the pancetta and sausage in it allowed for a more seasoned taste.
I really do hope that the overall lack of seasoning was just a one off on a Thursday night. As a visitor to LA, however, I am not sure I would return to take the risk and find out. Disappointing.
Good Italian food
The service was great,
Good menu , and they do change the menu often. The food is delicious , we decided to share different dishes , they also have vegetarian options on the menu .
The desert was delicious as well.
They do have a valet parking and street parking if you can find one.
Wow!
We intended to go here for DineLA abut got the day wrong. Still, it was well worth it. This is extremely well-executed northern Italian food in a casual setting. The porchetta and the handkerchief pasta are not to be missed. Attentive service.
Be the first to ReplyLots for Vegetarians with Chickpea Fritters that Will Kill You With Their Goodness
It was a Saturday night and we made the journey to the Arts District in DTLA (That’s “Downtown Los Angeles” for the abbreviation-impaired) for a nice dinner in an old factory. Gentrification wins again! Factory Kitchen was packed but our reservation allowed us to be seated quickly and start to pour over the many options available to us vegetarian folk on the Factory Kitchen menu. Here’s what we got.
“Ortolana” - A nice salad field greens, radish, dates, goat cheese, spring onions and a champagne vinaigrette. A well done salad that served its purpose
“Frittura” - Beer battered baby leeks and chickpea fritters. The star of our meal was definitely the chickpea fritters which were an awful lot like french fries in taste and luck. The chickpea battered leaks were like tempura. This dish was delicious though we did feel like it was missing a sauce of some kind to dip these babies in.
Mandilli di Seta - Thin handkerchief egg-pasta with basil and almond ligurian style pesto. This is their signature pasta dish…this was really good and maybe worth the trip to DTLA to get.
Cavoletti - Charred brussels sprouts served with ligurian olive oil and normally pancetta. Being vegetarians, we asked if they be okay without the pancetta and our server assured us it would be. In practice they really were missing something in terms of flavor, and they were overcooked.
There are a lot more vegetarian options to try including pizzas, other sides, and other items in two different categories of starters. So we definitely would come back and try more, though the only thing we described as “super special” of the four things that we had was the chickpea and leek fritters.
Also we noticed that they serve bread with an olive oil dipping sauce on request. We didn’t know that was an option until we saw it at other tables at the end of our meal. So if you like bread…be sure to ask for it.
