Bestia is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is amazing! Simple, but delicious recipes. It’s great if you go with 4+ people so that you can try more items on the menu. A couple of items that we hands down always order are: the bone marrow gnocchi (drool worthy, you’ll need one order for every two people) and the delicious grilled whole Branzino. It’s sometimes difficult getting a reservation, although I’ve gotten lucky with some great last minute reservations using Amex Platinum Concierge.

My friend and I went here for dinner after seeing a play in the area. The wait was very short even though the restaurant was very busy. There is outdoor seating here as well. The servers were all very friendly and helped navigate the menu for my allergies , which was really nice! The food was delicious ????. We got a salad, gnocchi, pizza and the scallops.I'm looking forward to going again and delving into the wine list!

Bestia is the Bestia. Who knew a salad could be so good?! Do yourself a favor and order the Herb-Ceasar). We sat at the counter seats watching the bartenders and food staff work so efficiently, I couldn't comprehend how they move so quickly in an organized dance. Because of this, the service was outstanding. I'm not from town, but I will come back just for the food Bestia.

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.

I get it. It’s good food, good vibes, and a fun area to eat out in. But it doesn’t check off the “Must come here again” box for me. I would much rather visit again the other restaurant down the street that rhymes with Twirl and the Boat. The flavors here don’t surprise me or excite my brain the way I would expect this place to. The bone marrow shot felt like a total gimmick not worth paying for. Curious to try their sister restaurant Bavel…

Fantastic! Deliciousio!! Italian eats of the highest order in LA. Everything we tried was delicious. Stand outs include the bone marrow (which our very awesome server Melanie showed how to do sherry luge shots from once we'd devoured the appetizer), and the lobster & squid ink pasta. Standouts aside, everything dish tasted amazing. Being from New York, I have a high bar for Italian food, Bestia is worth your time.

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.

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!

Food was awesome with vibrant flavors!!! Great atmosphere and hip vibes at the restaurant. However, tables were very close proximity and noise level is high- not a great place to chat/ relax for group (more than 2 people). However it would be great place for date night. For 4 people, we ordered 3 appetizers, 2 pasta, 1 pizza. I would definitely order more pizza next time than appetizers.

Great meal, every dish was full of flavors and nicely presented. Music was loud, but I quite liked what they were playing. The service was excellent, quite friendly and helpful, and they paid good attention to covid precautions.
