The Factory Kitchen

The thinly shaved Parma prosciutto on an airy pillow of fried dough is much greater than the sum of its parts and should not be missed. Peperu cheese stuffed peppers are perfect little starter bites.

The mandilli di seta is the one that everyone talks about, which is a hankerchief pasta coated in an almond basil pesto . The texture is luxurious , making it a great pasta course at this eatery . Read more

Had the Truffle Butter noodle pasta with salmon . Portion was too small for it being the must expensive pasta plate at $25 on the menu but it was quite good. I recommend also their gelato ????

Amazing regional Italian.. Start with the 24 month Prosciutto on fried Sage dough ... and then some of the best Pasta I've ever had and perfectly cooked get 2-3 to share save room for the cannolis ...

Their "mandilli di seta " which is handkerchief pasta with almond basil pesto is the dish to try! The homemade pasta is perfection and the pesto is creamy unlike any other pesto I've had. Real winner!

Start with the peperú , the sweet peppers stuffed with cheese and spicy arugula . Best bite I had. Neither dessert I tried was worth getting.

TFK has the unique Billy Joel like problem of a hit becoming bigger than the body of work. The handkerchief pasta with basil almond pesto is the signature dish. You can't get anything else.

Factory Kitchen does meat especially well , so try not to bring vegetarians here; though, their almond pesto handkerchief pasta is one of their best dishes. Read more

The prosciutto over fried dough and the pizzetta were outstanding. Also recommend the brussel sprouts and sea bass .

My recommendations: Prosciutto , Mandilli di Seta (pesto handkerchief pasta ), Modenesi, and Porchetta .

The prosciutto with burrata atop crispy , fluffy crescentine-like bread is the perfect shared starter to your almond basil pesto handkerchief pasta

Try the cocktail "Smoke and Honey " with Mezcal El Silencio by Carlos Lopez #FactoryKitchen in Downtown LA #MezcalElSilencio, honey and lemon ???? . Enjoy!!!

The handkerchief pasta with almond basil pesto was to die for - it is a not to be missed.

Baked Granny Smith apples , spiced white chocolate gelato and caramel sauce make the crostata one sweetly shareable treat. Read more

Excellent, authentic , lively , and affordable . Nothing more to say, it's almost perfect. The prosciutto appetizer is god send.

The handkerchief is a must have! My friend's in-laws own this place. It's one of the better Italian spots in DTLA.

The prosciutto was good. The ravioli was good too except the clams still had sand in it.

The veal and pork sausage pasta and the gnocchi are terrific!

Gin Rosa cocktail is delicious

Great spot. Interesting menu and awesome cocktails .

Food excellent. Service outstanding. Lemon Drop the best

The food and service were both excellent. Highly recommend!

The prosciutto is Amazing!!! ????????????

Actually I like Brera better. It’s a good place, but not that impressive tho. The handkerchief pasta is okay, full of pesto . The pappardelle is good but too salty. The desserts are better.

Casonzei is amazing. Service is poor (very rushed, prompt but not attentive didn't ask if we wanted wine .) and the hostess isn't very happy

The 'flatbreads ' are interesting and the cannoli was outstanding. Other than that, nothing special. Enjoy.

Don't leave without trying the cotta flatbread !

One of the best places in downtown Los Angeles.

Handkerchief pasta , stuffed peppers , prosciutto puffed dough

Prosciutto appetizer , coin shaped pasta

The porchetta is amazing!

Try the cannolis ...forget bout it!!!

Definitely get the "napkin pasta ."

Handkerchief pasta

Fantastic.

It was ok. Not a good place for celiacs with a limited GF menu and probably a lot of cross contamination.

Only the cannoli is good, everything else that we order was not good very salty and very pricey

Don't try vitellone, not good at all. In overall, the restaurant is too expensive

Mandilli di Seta
