Wow! What a treat for the tastebuds!!! By far the best Italian I've had in LA. The flavours and fresh produce is second to none.
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 …
My boyfriend and I went to celebrate my graduation. The Food was fantastic and very very delicious, our waiter nicknamed "El Maestro," gave us excellent service and made us feel very welcome. We had Fried Calamari and Raw Scallops for appetizer, Mussles, Lobster Pasta and Mushrooms Pizza, I loved everything. The Pizza bread was very soft and tasty. The chocolate …
Visited this wonderful gem of a restaurant pre-covid and it was a wonderful experience, had my worries when I decided to give it another try, but must admit, the place kept the same level of quality food, alcohol and atmosphere. I had a great time on the bar, the octopus was no less than amazing and the fish... Made me …
Bastia in Los Angeles is an absolute standout and easily one of the best Italian dining experiences we’ve had. We called the same day on a whim and were thrilled to score seats at the chef’s counter, front row to the wood-fired pizza oven, the magic happening in the kitchen, and the chefs in action while dining, which added an …
The food was really good. Like, how does one make salad taste this good? But the service was mid, and there were only two toilet stalls for a restaurant this expensive and crowded. Music was also a tad bit loud for my liking. If you sit outdoors it’s easier to talk, but I frankly do not have any idea how …
What an amazing meal! Spectacular food, impeccable service!! It's very trendy and loud so a word to us old folks - request a table on the outside front patio. We were seated on the terrace and our party had to yell to be heard. But aside from the din, our meal was exceptional!! While everything was fabulous, we all agreed …
One of my favorite L.A. spots. The bone marrow spinach gnocchetti is out of this world. I've never had a bad meal here. I always get my own bone marrow, no sharing that one. The mushroom and Guanciale pizza is insane!
Bestia continues to live up to the hype. Every dish we ordered was excellent and packed with flavor. It’s one of those places where there really wasn’t a weak item on the table. The atmosphere is amazing—energetic, lively, and perfect for a night out. The service was top notch from start to finish. Everyone on the staff was attentive, friendly, …
Bestia is a must-visit every time I’m in Los Angeles. It’s one of my favorite Italian restaurants, and the quality has been consistently outstanding on every visit. The food is always creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed. Their wood-fired pizzas are incredibly thin and perfectly crisp. My favorite dish is the bone marrow appetizer—it’s something I order almost every time. They …
