I had a really enjoyable dinner at Bestia. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with elegant decor and a lively vibe, making it a great place for a night out. The food was fresh and well presented. Service was friendly, although we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our main courses. It wasn't a major issue, but it kept the experience from being perfect.
Food tasted great but the portions were ridiculously small. It was recommended that we share plates and one of the plates was ravioli. There were only 5 small pieces for 4 of us... so only a small bite each. There was also multiple things on the menu that were not being offered which was disappointing. Drinks were tasty but also was maybe 6-7oz total. Overall this was more a tasting menu experience that will cost over $100.
Nice location, nice food, not overcrowded. Would definitely try again.
It's a restaurant in the warehouse! Imagine that! We didn't mind sitting near the oven and watching pizzaiola do his thing. Service was top notch 5/5. Friendly servers, fast service, kept refilling our water. Food was also 5/5. It is tapas/family style so everything can be shared. They have 5 categories and they serve the food in this order. Some people don't really like to order all at once but we didn't struggle. This place has character, that's for sure.
Overall the experience was very nice. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and knew the menu very well. Although the food was a little pricey for the portions it was very delicious.
Italian pizza has a different magical taste I have eaten Italian pizza in many places, but I don't think that any other cafe or restaurant can reach Bestia's pizzas, the waiters were very positive and warm with their customers. Keep it up!
Delicious Italian food in a cute area in downtown LA.
Bestia is now my favorite Italian restaurant in LA. Everything was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is located in a cool, artsy industrial area. Valet is available. I started with the Sling cocktail- a cherry infused drink that was so good. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because our server was surprisingly horrible at his job. I'm going back regardless (reservation is already made).
