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, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire meal. This is a great restaurant to visit with a small group so you can share multiple dishes and experience more of the menu. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Bestia remains one of the standout dining spots in Downtown LA. I’d happily come back again

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!

Loved this place. We savored every single bite and I committed all of it to memory so I can look back and enjoy it all over again. Dining here was truly an experience. The scallops were refreshing so definitely start with that. Don’t skip on their salad and make sure to really enjoy the flavors from that grilled octopus. I also highly encourage you to cherish your time with the roasted bone marrow. Everything was so delish!!

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 people seated indoors hear one another. Would recommend a visit if you’re in LA as the food is excellent. but expect to pay good money for this. There’s free street parking if you arrive early, otherwise there is valet as well.

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.
