Bestia

My favorite restaurant in town. Always recommend it to friends who are visiting. Bestia just never disappoints. Bone marrow is a must try. We always order 2 servings. Branzino is my personal favorite. The flavor is really unique with a hint of spice. Pizza is crispy and flavorful. I like thin crust so this is just perfect for me. Steak is not the best I’ve had though.

One of the most incredible meals I’ve ever had. Definitely a must-go if it’s your first time or new to LA. Place is electric! Don’t miss the ricotta. Prawns, scallops, and Caesar salad were incredible appetizers. Can’t miss the bone marrow dish too! Ask for a bone marrow shot and they’ll pour a drink down through the bone lol ???? pastas all perfect and tasty. Olive oil cake dessert was memorable as well. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

I came here for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend, and everything I ate here blew me away from beginning to the end. First off, the Herb Caesar Salad is NOTHING like your typical caesar salad. This one was from heaven or something. The blend of herbs and spices on it tasted so unique but pleasantly complementary. They also top it off with squid ink breadcrumbs and lemon zest. I’d say that was my favorite dish because it just blew me away. The next thing we had was the Squid Ink Chitarra. Most italian restaurants overyhype their squid ink dishes so I thought this would just taste average, but Bestia exceeded my expectations. Next, we had was the Roasted Marrow Bone. Holy smokes. The umami flavor was very powerful and so good. The gnocchi is made from spinach but it tastes very good and doesn’t taste like grass. Last pasta dish we had was the Cavatelli alla Norcina. This truffle pasta was so delicious. The flavor was light and savory at the same time. Lastly, the dessert was AWESOME.
