Bestia

Very delicious. Great place for those who value quality ingredients and exceptional service. Enjoyed their attention to detail and delicacy. Chicken gizzard are a must try, very dense and rich flavor. House made ricotta was an experience, soft and creamy with the rustic bread. The pastas were delicious. I enjoyed the shredded truffle, good portions. Great place to share plates. We went for a birthday and desert was good.

From start to finish my meal at Bestia was one of the best and most enjoyable that I can recall. Our server, Christian was an absolute delight. The entirety of the staff were accommodating and welcoming. The atmosphere was fun and happy. So even without the stunning food it was already a win. We ordered several dishes including the scallops, gnocchi, sourdough lamb ragu, Gorgonzola pizza, and pork loin. Nothing was less than amazing. My personal favorite was the gnocchi. But it’s so difficult to decide. The cheesecake was also ridiculous. My wife and I will be dining here at least once a month. It is incredible.

Sat at the chefs table and had a fantastic meal. The best meal I’ve had in LA at this price point. The service and attention to detail were fantastic. We ordered the Caesar salad, and we watched the staff hand rub each lettuce leaf with dressing, and individually arrange each leaf in the bowl (and it wasn’t a small salad). The pizza was fantastic and the branzino was our favorite. It was incredibly flavorful without overpowering the fish. Parking is $12 for valet. I would not recommend parking on the street. We saw cars on the street being vandalized not too far away.

Highly suggest making reservation. When the food is this good there’s no question why there’s always a line of people waiting. Sat at the bar by the pizza oven for the first time to try it (I’ve been to bestia before, just not sat in this section). The waitress fair warned us it gets a little Smokey and sure did. It’s best to sit at the bar right when you walk in or one of the other tables. The food was incredibly delicious as always. The server was friendly and the food came out quickly. Some things were not available as they sold out (our fault for making a 10pm reservation) but I prefer that knowing the food is always high quality and super fresh.

The servers and all the staff are super friendly, attentive, and courteous. Can't miss the bone marrow pasta appetizer. That is the most consistent staple on the menu. Everything else is new. The scallops reminded me of the excellent ceviche I had in Lima years ago. The spicy mussels are great and sauce is great for dipping pretty much everything in. Pizza is always outstanding. The chiffon cake was excellent with various stone fruits. The food is phenomenal. We stopped here on our cross-country trip. I'm just loving it, I would love to come again.

Bestia will never disappoint! The atmosphere and food is amazing, and I really appreciate when your waiter can confidently recommend wine pairings with our food. It's a big bonus to an already delicious experience!

Buzzing kitchen with full house of guests, food was amazing and we had a great time at Bestia. Highlight of the night was the roasted bone marrow pasta, so incredibly flavorful and every bite is a good mix of texture (chewy, crunchy). Other pasta/pizzas were good, classic dishes but so well done. Highly recommend this restaurant, do book in advance as they are full most days.

Handmade pasta, house made ice cream, and freshly baked bread are some of the reasons why Bestia was an excellent dining experience. The flavors were exquisite but not over the top. The Bone Marrow was definitely one of my favorite dishes. For 5 people, we ordered 6 Antipasti dishes, 2 pizzas (spicy lamb sausage and burrata), and 3 pasta dishes along with 3 desserts. Definitely recommend!
