A multi-regional Italian restaurant in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ori Menashe & Genevieve Gergis

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Plate2022

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.

    Great first time at Bestia. It was recommended by a friend and I read the menu and reviews on Open Table. Portion sizes were good, food was very tasty. Some of our favorites were the mussel and clam starter, Endive and Apple salad,

    First time there and waiter was great about recommending all the classics. Great when a restaurant can do a good/different Cesar salad. Food was amazing. We’ll be back!

    Es la segunda vez que disfrutamos de este lugar. Y nos gusta mucho en general. Josh fue muy amable en modificar nuestra reserva en la barra y estar atento a ella ya que había sido originalmente para 3 pero en la aplicación solo nos reservó para una persona por error. La comida y los cócteles estuvieron grandiosos. La única observación que tengo es que tengo es que sentimos mucho la presión del bartender para que nos fuésemos rápido , imagino para poder atender a otros clientes , pero nosotros no estuvimos allí mucho tiempo .
