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.

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!
