Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ori Menashe & Genevieve Gergis

    MICHELIN Plate

    2022

From the OpenTable editors: Packed since the day it opened in 2012, Ori and Genevieve Menashe’s acclaimed California-Italian restaurant has made a name for itself for excellent cocktails, wood-fired pizzas, and now-iconic dishes like slow-roasted lamb neck. Housed in a former warehouse, the cavernous, industrial-chic restaurant ushered in a new era of Arts District dining – and feels just as vibrant and energetic as it did a decade ago.

    The food was really good. I would recommend the bone marrow and the mushroom pasta. 20/10 on those two dishes. The service was also nice, very attentive and friendly.

    The restaurant was full with customers. Noise level high ~ hard to hear conversation during dinner. Meals ordered were good. Service attentive.

    Bestia never disappoints! We’ve been several Times now and it’s one our favorite LA stops. Whether you sit at the bar, regular dinning or outside patio it’s always a fun vibe and ambiance to be in.

    Honestly our favorite place for special occasions. We’ve been going here for at least 8 years for our bdays and anniversaries. This setting, we had the duck liver pate, mussels and clams, endive salad and the ribeye. So much food for the two of us. I always make steak and eggs the next morning with the leftover ribeye. The pizzas are great here and we always get the bone marrow, but we passed this time since everything else was going to be so rich. Had the apple cider donuts with the maple ice cream. Yum. Everything is delicious here. Expect it to be loud, so don’t complain. You’ve been warned. It’s filled with happy ppl out for a good time and great food. A place to come with friends or on a date.
