My boyfriend and I went to Bestia to celebrate our anniversary, and everything was incredible. We shared the Peruvian scallop crudo, veal tartare crostino, charred octopus, squid ink spaghetti, ricotta gnocchi, grilled pork chop, and finished with th
Very cool location in downtown Los Angeles Arts District,
Very cool location in downtown Los Angeles Arts District, great service, atmosphere is lovely in a warehouse setting, nice outdoor patio to have some drinks. Only downside is pretty expensive but worth the drive from the San Fernando Valley.
Great place, great food, service could be a bit better.
The roasted bone marrow is one of the best dishes I've ever had, truly especial and delicious. This is the dish of the night, that you can't miss. The pasta is great, generous and unique, as well as the pizza, but the other thing I would hi
Bestia can get crowded so make a reservation.
This is fine dinning Italian and it is great. It is in a nice location. Parking is a bear unless you valet, so do that. The inside is just beautiful. It has a full bar and the wine list is amazing. The service is great. They take good care of you a

One of the prior reviews is no longer accurate with respect to the parking situation. The entire lot starting at 4:00 p.m. is valet for $13. Somehow, despite being in the middle of nowhere, they do not have their own free lot. There is a paid lot nex

Bestia delivers an unforgettable Italian dining experience in an industrial-chic setting. Our meal was a masterclass in execution and flavor, beginning with the stunning Scallops Crudo, which was impeccably fresh and bright, paired perfectly with the
Used to really like this place.
Waited for 30 min to put in a drink order on the patio before being seated. Eventually just left and cancelled our reservation after being ignored for that time. Bunch of better spots in LA that aren't in downtown.

Unfortunately it wasn't the experience I was looking for or have heard about. They were unable to accommodate allergies so I had a choice of 5-7 dishes and they were just okay. I did enjoy the scallops. So beware if you have any dietary restrict

We were able to snag a Tuesday night RSVP a week prior for the counter seating, which was pretty nice. My bestie and I had drinks at ERB before we arrived. We were seated promptly and everyone was personable. The place was packed on a Tuesday night

We were seated by the bar, very lively restaurant.
A bit crowded. The food is good overall, we really enjoyed our appetizers and pasta, but our main the pork chop is only mediocre and way too salty, which is unfortunate. Still a lovely experience.
Great food with fantastic flavors.
Really busy restaurant but excellent service! Will definitely recommend and revisit soon!!

Bestia lives up to the hype.
I came in here on a Monday night at 9 pm, and the atmosphere was buzzing with energy as soon as we walked in. Lots of people chattering over their meals. Service was good, our server knew the menu well and was as attentive as he could be, given the f
I've been dying to try this restaurant.
Our reservation was at 5:15, but we needed to be out of there by 6:30 as we had tickets to an event. We told the restaurant when they called to confirm, and they advised that they would let our server know. Wow! The service we got! Our server, J J,

Very few places do I find every single dish to be amazing.
This place was one of them, everything single plate we got was a hit, and now I want to try the other ones given the high standard everything set. The highlight was the truffle sausage pasta, and the nduja pizza. Both very good quality ingredients, a

Another perfect meal at Bestia! The food and service are
Another perfect meal at Bestia! The food and service are out of this world. It is very loud inside, so if that is important to you, book early and request an outside table. The ambiance is beautiful on the patio.
Eight of us ordered a lot of dishes.
Some dishes I thought were delicious and would order again include: black truffle pasta, lobster pasta, honey-grilled pizza, and ox bone marrow pasta. I wouldn't order the duck liver again (I personally found it slightly bitter and fishy)
Zero respect for older customers
I will start out with the fact that the food was very great, BUT going out to a restuarant isn't a necessity. There are things as important as the cooking. The service is brisk and business-like. This is not a friendly dining experience. In and
Topnotch Food & Service
We celebrated my daughter’s birthday here. The atmosphere was bustling, very busy, yet very efficient. The food was good, the drinks were awesome and our service was topnotch. We’ll surely go back since my 3yr old grandson loved the pizza and

This spot is a consistently busy and popular gem in the Arts District. The menu features an intriguing Italian fusion concept, and I came specifically to try the bone marrow pasta—which didn’t disappoint. The scallope, meats, and other dishes wer
Shining star

Great spot for a meet up with friends or a date to kick off the night. So fresh.
Visited on Thursday evening. Made a reservation which I’d recommend. The wait can be long. Tried to order a drink at the bar, but they did not take orders at the bar. They have a server that comes around on the patio which wasn’t obvious. We were
Horrendous Host, but Great Service Staff
Horrendous host, great food. Maybe it’s just an LA thing for hosts to be rude to the people whose dollars pay their salary (or hourly wage). Despite wonderful service, impeccable food (especially the Ceasar salad and Njuda pizza); the male host le

Connect with users posting reservations for Bestia Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Bestia Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bestia Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bestia Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Bestia Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bestia Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
