Bestia - Italian restaurant in Los Angeles - 2121 E 7th Pl, USA

Most outstanding service I've been to in LA. When you literally walk to the restroom and come back, your napkin is folded. They fold... your napkin! They quickly replace drinks without us asking. A+ service. Now the food: DELICIOUS! The gnocchi was very soft and paired with the ricotta was perfect, and the bone marrow with the pasta was tasty (honestly thought they were green beans by accident). There are so many other dishes I tried and honestly, all are great. For the price they charge its worth it. Definitely come here for a casual get together or even events. You won't be disappointed.

The food was so fresh and tasty! Amazing! The drinks were flavorful and yet still had a healthy vibe to it. The atmosphere was date night friendly or even just a perfect hangout spot. You can dress up or dress down either would be perfect.

Honestly very perplexed by the high ratings. The food is overpriced for what it is. You expect a Burrata pizza to have cut up Burrata on it, not just be a vaguely mozzarela pizza. The truffle pasta had decent flavor but the pasta itself needs to up its game - a Roman would be perplexed at its generic quality. Scallop was good. One dessert was great, the other could be had from a hotel buffet. I don’t see the reviews matching the reality. With so many creative choices in the Arts District, this has kind of become a lazy one. Very nice drinks. Fine service - the folks are hard at work.

Hands down with best meal we had in LA. The ambiance, service, food and wine were all flawless. Honestly as someone who eat out a lot and likes to splurge on meals, this was the best dinning experience of 2023 (better than any Michelin starred or James Beard restaurant). Make a reservation and check it out ASAP and take friends so you can check out lots of items!

Had my moving away dinner here with friends and it was amazing! Not only was the food delicious, but having valet service in LA means the world. Truly enjoyed this meal and would eat here again!

If you're looking for a trendy spot in DTLA, this restaurant is worth a visit. The food was tasty, but nothing exceptional. The service was welcoming and accommodating, even without a reservation. However, I was disappointed when the bartender poured sparkling bottled water over ice without asking, as I prefer not to drink tap water. (water/ice quality in LA is extremely terribly dangerous) Overall, it's a decent option for a night out, but not necessarily a standout experience.

It's worth it to go in bigger parties, since most dishes are for sharing. Reservations are a must. Menu changes from time to time. Service was attentive and very fast (maybe too fast, even). Great wine list. Most importantly, the food itself is worth the detour!

It's one of the best places to visit I LA hands down. Service was quick and gave excellent recommendations. Kid friendly menu and everything was delicious. The drink choices were unlimited, and everything was cooked for perfection. Our favorite course was the bone marrow. It was a great start to a wonderful dining experience. The pork was well seasoned and piping hot. The pizza was seasoned just right with a great amount of sauce. They also had refillable drink options, but not many.
