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.

This experience was great and recommend. Made a reservation well ahead of time. Place was packed and people were waiting outside before opening. tried a few dishes and drinks. Everything came out to order. Staff is helpful and attentive. The price is the price, the high standards shine through. Staff recommends a a number of dishes per person. Consider the advice, you’ll still have some awesome leftovers. Parking is valet or there are garages nearby. Busy area so keep that in mind too.

I was told this was one of the best restaurants in LA and it truly lived up to the hype. Gorgeous, vibey atmosphere, fantastic service and delicious food. Every dish was a “wow” dish. Incredible, explosive flavors. Such good service with the dishes timed perfectly. A must-go-to place!!

Great atmosphere. Lovely staff and the food was amazing. The Caesar salad was amazing. The buttermilk Ricotta was delicious. The mussels were yum but the Pork chop was to die for. A must! And the chocolate budino tart was the perfect ending.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
