Farfalla Westlake Village

“Reason for visiting: Date/time of visit: Friday night dinner, ~7:30 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, free. Shared with other businesses Party size: 4 Environment/ambience: pretty busy but can still talk. Few TVs around with the Dodgers on; other sports too. No sound. Service: was great; came around often and prompt. Friendly too. Food: had the Lobster Ravioli; it was so good 🤌. The Pennette Santino was good too; both are made with pink vodka sauce but it's creamier with the Ravioli. Both are so good. Asked for extra bread to have with the leftover sauce from my Ravioli.. 🤌. So good. 5 pieces in the Lobster Ravioli, FYI. Calamari and complimentary bread were good; bread not toasted. Old fashioned was good too. Cost: ~$210 with tip Would I go back (yes/no): 90/10; vodka sauce is sooo good”

“Never disappoints. This is such a consistently good neighborhood Italian at Westlake Promenade. Their Happy Hour is something I'm very tempted to keep to myself: Its such good value with 40% off the entire menu. Even at full price its still flgreat value as the service and quality are top notch!”

“Absolutely love this place. Farfalla means butterfly, which is an ideal name for this place because it is beautiful and ephemeral. There is a wonderful patio I recommend, and I always enjoy the rigatoni, linguine, chicken parmigiana, and lasagna. I recommend having a nice rosé wine with the meal and the blueberry cake and espresso for dessert. I do not recommend the tiramisu because until just recently they didn’t even used to offer it and I don’t believe it’s made in house and I only like homemade food. But I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. It is the gem. It is the star of this entire Westlake location.”

“I had lunch here before the holidays with a dear friend! It was excellent! Today my husband and I came for a late lunch. The service was a little slow. But, the food??? Outstanding. My husband had a chicken / mushroom dish, I had the salmon salsa dish. Amazing. Melt in your mouth. We ended with the decadent tiramisu and cappuccinos! Mind-blowing!!! Besides slow service, wow - so worth it!!!”

“My fiancé and I dined here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and homecoming from an overseas military deployment. I made a special reservation as we’re part of Resy Global Dining Members exclusive by AMEX. Regardless of that, upon arrival, the hostess did not greet us, told us to wait until she “could find a table” very rudely. Once seated in a very crammed covered outdoor area I got wet from the seat and splashing of rainwater dripping in from holes in the cover. All a while, a tall outdoor heater lamp blazing heat to one side of my face. Quite the combination. The menu was long but it didn’t have the best mesh of ingredients for Italian cuisine or more commonly found traditional dishes I’d hoped for. I eventually settled for the Chicken Marsala and my fiancé got some sort of mushroom risotto. The marsala was okay, but the risotto was terrible. The food was on par or even a step below Olive Garden, yet priced more expensively. I will say the servers that brought the food and drinks were great and attentive vs our main waiter that didn’t do much than take down our order. The ‘Italian Sangria’ was a very watered down version of red wine. The Caprese salad was good. Overall very disappointed in the food, atmosphere, and what was to be a special reservation and evening turned out to be noting but a random table with overpriced, very flavorless food, noisy, and complete washout, literally!”
