Bestia

Amazing food, great service, atmosphere is more family style than fancy restaurant. Appetizers are amazing. We had the scallop ctudo, duck pate and veal tartar. All excellent. We had the chestnut pasta, awesome. For main course we had the lamb neck. It was very good but because it comes with lettuce and caesars dressing we felt like we finished with a salad. That was the only negative. We will definitely return.

Bestia delivers an unforgettable Italian dining experience in an industrial-chic setting. Our meal was a masterclass in execution and flavor, beginning with the stunning Scallops Crudo, which was impeccably fresh and bright, paired perfectly with the savory, tangy Marinated Olives. The pasta course was the true highlight: the dramatic Ink Squid Spaghetti with Lobster offered intense seafood depth, while the Cream Sauce Pasta with Truffle was pure, aromatic indulgence, generously shaved with fresh black truffle. For the main event, the Lamb Neck was a triumph of slow cooking- fall-off-the-bone tender with a robust, charred crust. Every dish demonstrated a commitment to high-quality ingredients and flawless technique. Bestia remains essential dining for a truly exceptional meal in Los Angeles.

Bestia can get crowded so make a reservation. This is fine dinning Italian and it is great. It is in a nice location. Parking is a bear unless you valet, so do that. The inside is just beautiful. It has a full bar and the wine list is amazing. The service is great. They take good care of you and know their menu well. They check on you, but never rush you. You will want for nothing here. The prices are high, but that is the way it is here in LA. They are comparable to other fine dinning places. The food is remarkable and we love everything there. You just can't go wrong. Their 26oz Margaret River Wagyu Ribeye with burnt onion, fermented mushroom cream and radish and poppy seeds is the best. Now this is about 185 dollars, but you will not be able to eat all of that. Take the rest home. The dogs will be in heaven. We also love their pizza. My husband always gets that. All are great. His favorite is the Burrata pizza which has the best San Marzano tomatoes, castelvetrano olives, oregano, with some fermented chilies. Everything is great there, even their salads and they have wonderful desserts. Go there for a special occasion or just go there. You will be happy.

Absolutely obsessed with Bestia. The flavors, the sauces, the creativity…everything was on another level. Every dish felt perfectly balanced and memorable. We had the endive salad, bone marrow, grilled octopus, fig leaf ricotta tortellini, and the black ink spaghetti. Each one was a standout in its own way. The pastas in particular were phenomenal, with rich sauces that made you want to savor every bite. The ambiance is lively and stylish without feeling pretentious, and service was attentive and friendly. Truly one of the best dining experiences in LA and I’d come back again and again.

I’m a fan of dimly lit restaurants with delicious food and a good atmosphere. We went to bestia for my birthday, it was a total treat! Felt like the perfect place for a special occasion, the food was delicious, beautiful and pricey! We loved everything we ordered but we still talk about the scallops, they were AMAZING 🤩
