I recommend this place to everyone I know. We’ve come for birthdays, anniversaries, valentines, absolutely blown away every time. ORDER THE PROSCIUTTO.
Celebrating a birthday at The Factory Kitchen was a remarkable experience. It's a place where you can savor the deep flavors of Italy in a relaxed, urban setting. We started with the prosciutto as an appetizer, which melted softly in our mouths, tantalizing our taste buds. Next, we chose two outstanding pizzas: Anchovy Pizza and Mushroom Pizza. The Anchovy Pizza stood out with its savory, bold flavors, while the Mushroom Pizza offered rich and earthy aromas that left a lasting impression. Each of us ordered a different pasta, adorning our table with various colors and scents. The perfect balance of the al dente pasta and harmonious sauces made each bite feel like dining at a Michelin Star restaurant in Northern Italy. Every dish was crafted with precision and care, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to fine dining. The Factory Kitchen felt like a hidden gem in a small alleyway, a treasure waiting to be discovered. It combined the ease of a trattoria with the sophistication of serious Northern Italian cooking, providing a day filled with lovely moments and cherished memories.
A great Italian place a little out of town but worth the ride. Must orders : CASONZEI (beef & pork sausage pasta) MANDILLI (handkerchief pasta) PROSCIUTTO D-ANATRA (seared duck) CANNOLI dessert
The outside looks absolutely terrifying, but once you go inside, the relaxed ambiance and industrial setting give it a unique vibe that’s surprisingly cozy. There are various appetizers, pastas, and meats to choose from, along with a massive drink/wine list. In addition, the staff are all really nice and engaged in some casual conversation. Overall, good food, good vibes. Definitely worth a visit.
Came to celebrate my grandma’s birthday and the staff was incredible. They were really attentive with our group and cutely arranged the cupcakes I brought with candles!! Loved the apps and my main was delicious. Yummy cocktails too! Would come back for a special celebration again, they were great!
My boyfriend and I came here for Valentines dinner. The setting was very chill and intimate. The music was great. I enjoyed the food and drinks we ordered. We would love you to come back again to try additional dishes someday.
fresh and tasty pastas! been here twice, would still come back

The restaurant has a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. Great spot for a memorable Italian meal.
Steel, Silk & Saffron: Dining at The Factory Kitchen . LOS ANGELES, CA - Tucked into the raw-boned charm of LA’s Arts District, The Factory Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you rethink what “Italian” means in America. This isn’t red-checkered tablecloths and marinara clichés — it’s Northern Italian soul food dressed in urban grit and Michelin polish. . Chef Angelo Auriana’s menu reads like a love letter to Liguria and Lombardy, with a few Hollywood winks. The Mandilli di Seta — silk handkerchief pasta draped in almond basil pesto — is the dish that’s earned cult status, and for good reason: it’s as delicate as it is decadent. The Focaccina Calda di Recco arrives crisp, molten with Crescenza cheese, and frankly deserves its own fan club. Seafood lovers will find the Ravioli di Mare a briny, buttery knockout, while carnivores can sink into the Porchetta—herb-perfumed, slow-roasted, and unapologetically rich. . Prices hover in the mid-to-high range — pastas around $26–$28, mains in the $30s — but the quality and execution make it feel like you’re getting away with something. Desserts like the Cannoli and Paciugo are worth lingering over, especially with a final Negroni in hand. . The space itself is a study in contrasts: exposed brick, steel beams, and wide garage doors that spill golden-hour light across polished concrete floors. It’s industrial, yes, but softened by the hum of conversation, the clink of wine glasses, and a staff that moves with the precision of a well-rehearsed ballet. Service is warm without being cloying—knowledgeable, confident, and quick to steer you toward the night’s best catch or a hidden gem on the wine list. . In a city obsessed with the next big thing, The Factory Kitchen proves that timeless craft, rooted in tradition but plated with modern swagger, will always be in style. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a masterclass in how to turn a factory floor into a temple of flavor.
The staff was warm, welcoming and very helpful. The food was absolutely delicious - from the breads, salads, pastas to main dishes. I had the best endive salad of my life here. The foccacia is absolutely brilliant. The pasta sauces are lovingly crafted to nestle the pillows of dough. The wine list was a wonderful survey of Italian wines, and the sommelier knew her craft. Most of all, I loved the true Italian cooking that was definitely not the Italian - American interpretation so many American restaurants disappoint us with.
