“ WOW!! We had an incredible experience at Bestia for my friends birthday. The food, ambiance, and waiters were phenomenal. I understand the hype. But honestly with how great it was, it’s definitely under hyped. We asked the waitress what she thought we should get and every dish we had was so great. Come to Bestia!! ”

“ It's such a great vibe for a night with friends. You can't go wrong with any of the food items. Love the bone marrow, and I can see your halo drink. The staff was attentive and very helpful when ordering. Definitely recommend you book in advance because it does get busy. ”

“ Bestia is truly one of the best restaurants in LA! Every dish we tried was near perfection, showcasing an incredible balance of textures and flavors. The creativity and attention to detail in each plate make for a dining experience that’s unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in exceptional cuisine! ”

“ The food here is absolutely outstanding! It’s no wonder this place has thrived for nearly a decade and keeps people coming back. With excellent dishes, reasonable prices, and a perfectly cozy ambiance, it delivers a true dining experience. This is hands down my new favorite spot for a warm, intimate dinner with my husband. Last night, we tried just about everything and couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, this is the place to be. ”

“ My fiance and I went here last night for a post dinner drinks. We could not avoid ordering some appetizers, we started with the bone marrow, olives, and stuff liver pate. I was honestly still so full from dinner, but cannot stop eating these days I should see issues! One of the best bone marrows I've had ever, a company by the green pasta is so tasty. They have valet and a parking lot but looks to get full fairly quick. We didn't have a reservation but got lucky with a high top available near the bar. Highly recommend reservations though. ”

“ Had a great experience at Bestia! The Peruvian scallop crudo was fresh and flavorful, the herb Caesar salad was decent, and both the margarita pizza and ricotta gnocchi were delicious. Drinks were well-made, and service was excellent. The only downside for me was that the music was a bit too loud. Would still return and recommend checking it out! ”

“ Taste :4.6/5 Environment: 4.2/5 Service:4.7/5 Bestia is truly one of the finest Italian restaurants in Los Angeles! If you're planning to visit, securing a reservation on OpenTable at least a month in advance is highly recommended, especially if you're aiming for a weekend spot—those seats are like gold. There’s valet parking available, but you might also find some public parking nearby if you're lucky. The place is madse for carb lover’s dream! Everything is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and prepared simply yet masterfully. Here are a couple of standout dishes you absolutely must try: Roasted Marrow Bone This dish is a masterpiece. The spinach pasta has a perfectly chewy texture with a hint of charred flavor, and the roasted bone marrow adds a rich, buttery depth without being overwhelming. It’s no surprise this is one of Bestia’s signature appetizers. Wagyu Tartare The wagyu is incredibly fresh and paired with yolk jam, creating a creamy, flavorful combination. Spread it over the grilled bread, and you’ve got a bite of perfection. Oh, and don’t forget to try their pizzas! They make everything from scratch, and you can taste the love and effort in every bite. Bestia is definitely worth the hype—just be ready to plan ahead for this unforgettable dining experience! ”

“ Bestia’s still got it. At 9pm on a Saturday, the space was buzzing in that good way—warm lighting, open kitchen, and a crowd that’s clearly excited to eat. Every dish hit. Our server suggested we add the Caesar salad and another pasta, so we went for the chestnut & mushroom agnolotti—and both ended up being highlights. The squid ink spaghetti had lobster that was tender and flavorful—a texture different from others I’ve had. The scallop crudo was delicate and bright—one of those small bites that makes you slow down and actually taste the ingredients. The duck liver was smooth and deep in flavor, and the smoked mozzarella pizza came out hot and melty. The grilled branzino had crisp skin and a juicy inside—simple and cooked perfectly. Classic LA spot that delivers an impressive meal all the way through. Next time, I’m coming early enough for the pistachio tiramisu. ”
