Best Italian Restaurants in Compton

My daughter and I dined at Bestia as first-timers before heading to the Disney Concert Hall to listen to the amazing Jennifer Hudson. Several parties around us were doing the same thing-great minds think alike. After receiving lots of helpful suggestions from Franklin, our server, we opted for a glass of Riesling and a Cruise Control as our beverages and shared a Margherita pizza, Cavatelli alla Norcina, and the Grilled Pork Collar. All were delicious options. The pizza was so flavorful with just the right amount of char on the crust. The pasta married the sauce, sausage and shaved truffles so well, and the pork collar was sublime; tender and flavorful. For dessert we shared the Holiday Cookie Frozen Torte which gave us a little of everything-cake, coconut, pecans and ice cream. Franklin and his team were friendly, attentive, and professional. We both agreed we would love to dine here again

This is one of our go to restaurants. I stepped out of my comfort zone and had lasagna instead of chicken Parmesan. It was delicious. The bread is always so good. We always start with a salad. Restaurant is always so good with changes. We even bought gift cards while we were there because we know we’ll return And other people should experience too.  we had a new server tonight, Brooke. She was wonderful.

Perfect experience. We sat outside on the patio and the heaters worked beautifully. We didn’t even feel like we were outside.  food and service were both good. We love this restaurant.

I went with a friend who had never been to North Italia. Despite their rather recent opening, everything went smoothly. Our meal was delicious, service was terrific and a very minor hiccup was corrected before we even realized it had happened. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food. Amazingly good, actually. The service left a little bit to be desired, but we were in the outside area away from the main flow of traffic. I definitely recommend this place. I’m not a foodie, and don’t usually mention dishes, but the branzino was excellent, probably as good as I’ve ever had, and the olive cake was, too. Parking is not fantastic and although it ends up that the restaurant is easy to find, the signs don’t help much and GPS isn’t accurate enough so I wandered around a little bit before finding it. But a very good dinner.
