Most outstanding service I've been to in LA. When you literally walk to the restroom and come back, your napkin is folded. They fold... your napkin! They quickly replace drinks without us asking. A+ service. Now the food: DELICIOUS! The gnocchi was very soft and paired with the ricotta was perfect, and the bone marrow with the pasta was tasty (honestly thought they were green beans by accident). There are so many other dishes I tried and honestly, all are great. For the price they charge its worth it. Definitely come here for a casual get together or even events. You won't be disappointed.

It's one of the best places to visit I LA hands down. Service was quick and gave excellent recommendations. Kid friendly menu and everything was delicious. The drink choices were unlimited, and everything was cooked for perfection. Our favorite course was the bone marrow. It was a great start to a wonderful dining experience. The pork was well seasoned and piping hot. The pizza was seasoned just right with a great amount of sauce. They also had refillable drink options, but not many.
Bestia is a perfection. It was a perfection on ALL LEVELS when it just opened and years later got even better. Everything is superb here, from food to a wonderful staff that is extremely attentive and beyond welcoming. All the dishes that we ordered were delicious and full of unique flavors. We can't wait to go back to this fabulous establishment. Keep doing what you are doing, you are GREAT !
5 stars for the bone marrow and spinach gnocchetti! It was delicious and buttery. You can do a bone marrow shot after they scooped out the marrow.
Tartar and olives were both good.
Saffron pici, flavorful, a little bit salty.
Squid ink spaghetti, love the lemon, it was spicy and a little salty.
Bar seats are fun, you get to see all the action. Only thing is I wished the server would ask if we would like to keep the bread and olives before taking them away, there was still a good amount left and we wanted to take it to-go but it got thrown out instead.
An LA cult classic that actually lives up to the hype. Anticipate making your reservation far in advance, as it can be quite booked out.
I’m surprised this place doesn’t have some sort of Michelin recognition, as it is definitely at that level, in my humble opinion! Everything from the salad to the pizza and pasta was insanely delicious. We sat at the counter, which was extra fun because we got to watch the chefs prepping everything with such care and attention.
My absolute favorite that I still dream about is the Chestnut Agnolotti. It is easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had, including everything I’ve had in Italy!!
Wow. This is one of the best restaurants in La and guaranteed to have one of the best meals out here. Great vibes, I love the fact that from the outside looking in, you'd have no clue it's an amazing restaurant... no sign out side makes it feel kinda like your about to enter a Brooklyn warehouse party or a speak easy... I definitely got warehouse vibes inside too.. and I dug every second of it, not the comfiest of chairs when sitting on the high top... granted I'm 6'3. The food was lights out amazing, the pizza was unreal, light and airy crust, explosion of flavors with every bite. Best pork chop, I've ever had in my life.. and wow that scallop crudo was a bite that u wish to have again. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, get lots of it and share it all!
This place is such a banger. It’s so hard to get a reservation but you’ll be glad you did. The scallop and the bone marrow pasta and the truffle pasta and the branzino were home runs. Service is good, not fine dining level but it’s still good. The venue is crazy loud, full of people talking and the echo effect is too much. They also blast old school hip hop music so you’ll have to shout to your date. Two single washroom only. Do not drink too much alcohol or do not come if your stomach isn’t well. There is always a 6-8 people queue waiting for 15 minutes to go washroom. Trust me, I warned you.
If you're looking for a trendy spot in DTLA, this restaurant is worth a visit. The food was tasty, but nothing exceptional. The service was welcoming and accommodating, even without a reservation. However, I was disappointed when the bartender poured sparkling bottled water over ice without asking, as I prefer not to drink tap water. (water/ice quality in LA is extremely terribly dangerous)
Overall, it's a decent option for a night out, but not necessarily a standout experience.
One of the most incredible meals I’ve ever had. Definitely a must-go if it’s your first time or new to LA. Place is electric! Don’t miss the ricotta. Prawns, scallops, and Caesar salad were incredible appetizers. Can’t miss the bone marrow dish too! Ask for a bone marrow shot and they’ll pour a drink down through the bone lol 🤣 pastas all perfect and tasty. Olive oil cake dessert was memorable as well. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
So much fun with food that was over-the-top delicious!!!! Service, impeccable!!!! The Caesar salad was the best I ever had. .. the mushroom pasta was sinful.... And the apple cider donuts melted in our mouths! Can't wait to return.
