Everyone and their mother, quite literally, is here for dinner. Such buzz is par for the course for Chef Evan Funke, a pasta maven whose restaurants are full the moment the doors open. Located in the landmark Citizen News building in Hollywood, Funke’s latest opening is massive in scale, with columns wrapped in red tile, olive trees planted across the dining room and red-and-white patterned upholstery that resembles candy canes. Those familiar with Funke’s other hot ticket restaurant Felix will recognize some of the dishes. Thin-crust pies charred in a wood-burning oven and a host of Roman pastas — cacio e pepe, amatriciana, carbonara — form the heart of the menu. A chef’s counter at the edge of the open kitchen offers prime seating for solo diners.
