Bestia Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
My experience at Bestia was quite disappointing, despite
My experience at Bestia was quite disappointing, despite the incredible food. The portion sizes were disappointingly small--and while I understand inflation affects pricing, this was excessive. Our server explained that the restaurant operates on a family-style concept, with dishes arriving at different times. The kitchen staff clearly work hard, and the food was indeed incredible. Given the price and reputation, I was really hoping to be blown away, especially since I've had extraordinary experiences at other restaurants for much less.

Food and service are top notch! Parking is kinda limited so plan accordingly. This place is busy for a reason so if you can get a reservation (Opentable). Interior was a bit cramped and dim for my liking.
One of the best restaurants in LA, the food and experience
One of the best restaurants in LA, the food and experience is always top notch. I go back every July to try out new dishes and go back to the ones I liked. Definitely a must try.
Really enjoyed my experience here! The place was bustling
Really enjoyed my experience here! The place was bustling even for a Monday night and I can see why! Ambiance and atmosphere has a special charm to it, quite similar to their sister restaurant - Bavel! The highlight dishes of the night were the bone marrow pasta, pate, and lamb neck!
Went again last night.
It was bustling. Service from the host to the server was great. I love that they offer tastes of the wine before deciding so you don't commit yourself to something you do not enjoy. The Caesar salad has some secret ingredient that makes it SO good. The pizza was wonderful again and we had squid ink pasta. What I really like is that it seems like everything you eat has just the right level of seasoning and flavors that you don't find somewhere else. Ambiance wise is what brings them to a 4. It's loud and crowded, but the rest outweighs this.
Food was amazing! Ambiance is ok, We we were sat right next
Food was amazing! Ambiance is ok, We we were sat right next to the bathrooms and kitchen entry so seating wasn't great for us personally. But the food and service were both great. Definitely recommend their calabrese pizza and bone marrow (the hype is understandable, forgot a picture).
Everything we ordered was yummy.
My favorite dish was the duck liver pate. It was smooth and not overly salty as pate can sometimes be really spicy. Service was excellent. The ambiance is good for date night, get together and much more. Can't wait to go back again.

Family style dining where you order multiple plates and share w your friends, food was delicious and the servers were very attentive
It has been a few months since the last time I ate at
It has been a few months since the last time I ate at Bestia. This time was a total disappointment. The problem was everything was so salty, salad, pizza, especially pasta....I first ate at Bestia around seven years ago, it was less crowded but tasted way better.
One of the best meals I've had ever.
Everything was top notch. The burrata and bread appetizer was a winner. Even the olives blew me away. Tried two pastas and they were great. Our server Jamal was helpful. Great vibe in the place too.
Absolutely Perfect
What an experience!!! Perfect from start to finish. An unbelievable night with superb cuisine and service. I can't say enough.
Wow
What a difference from several years ago! This place is fantastic! We really enjoyed the pate, so creamy. The Caesar salad was huge and delicious! We asked for the squid ink crumbs to be put on the side due to my allergies and they did it no questions asked! Last time I went they just used a sharpie to blacken out most of the menu and wouldn't put anything on the side! What a difference!!! The pastas were all fantastic. We also had two different pizzas, delicious! My daughters both liked the rhubarb dessert. We will definitely be back. Oh, the service was beyond fantastic. A really wonderful evening!
Bestia - Interesting
We went for the first time to Bestia as my birthday treat. We were seated promptly at a 4-top, and what struck us right away was how close all the tables were together. It was almost like seating in an airplane! And it was noisy as it could get! I had the 'O Sole – gin, bergamot, grappa, egg white, lemon, expressed lemon, dill. What grabbed my attention was the egg white, and also since I like bergamot (think Earl Grey tea). It was tasty. Our first course was Peruvian Scallop Crudo - meyer lemon cream, chili herb oil, strawberry, fennel pollen – served on a bed of ice. One shot brought a flavor bomb – the lemon cream’s butteriness and tang, combined with the slight sweetness from the strawberry made it the perfect first bite! The second course they brought out was Herb Caesar Salad- romaine, endive, parmigiano Reggiano, squid ink breadcrumbs, lemon zest. This was on the recommendation of our server and was one of the best Caesar’s I have had in a restaurant. Perhaps it was the lemon zest and the generous heapings of the parmigiano Reggiano – but this was a good second dish. We then had Mussels - spicy 'nduja, garlic, lemon, tomato, fennel pollen, grilled bread. I had wanted this because of the 'nduja, and it did not disappoint! The sauce was so good that I requested additional bread (which itself was amazing) to sop up the sauce! Slight disappointment with the Ricotta Gnocchi - tomato sugo, saffron, basil, marjoram, grana Padano. Not that it was bad, but compared to the previous dishes, it did not stand out! For our main course we had Slow Roasted Lamb Neck - smoked anchovy crème fraiche, gem lettuce, herbs. This was probably the most disappointing item of the night. The lamb meat was somewhat gamy, a flavor that could have been mitigated with some of the expert middle eastern spice combinations we had at Bavel and also in the Bavel cookbook. The anchovy crème fraiche was also humdrum – not a great flavor enhancer for the gamy lamb. For dessert we had Roasted Banana Malt & Muscovado Peanut Ice Cream Bar, dark roasted peanut cream, caramelized banana. They brought a candle on top of it which I got to blow! While I would rate Bestia below Bavel but above Saffy’s (where the space was very small, tables too close by, and the food slightly less exciting), it was a good dinner for our party of 4.
Amazing food and service.
I'm a regular here. Just need to make reservations in advance. Also their sister restaurant Bavel is amazing.

Delicious simply! I have celiac so this was a bit of a nervous since the bottom of the menu said "we politely decline substitutions". The server and manager were super sweet and looked through the entire menu and selected adjustable gluten free options which would be nice. The DUCK and Cesar salad made our night. Highly recommend. It's very modern and rustic at the same time. The bar seating can be tight so I would recommend choosing a table option when making a reservation.
Honestly, this place is slightly overhyped.
Maybe it's because we went in expecting a lot but the food was mediocre and dry. Do not get the pork.. Ambience is a bit loud but not too bad. Overall, I don't think we would return considering the high price point for the quality of the food we were getting.
3/10/24 Update: Bestia is definitely not for seafood
3/10/24 Update: Bestia is definitely not for seafood lovers. They were out of branzino this evening, so we ordered the crab meat pasta (excellent) and grilled prawns (too salty). The truffle pasta and bone marrow pasta were also good. My only gripe about their pastas -- al dente is fine for long noodle pastas, but their risotto-like tiny pastas need to be softer and less chewy in a creamy sauce. Still the same very noisy, cramped dining room -- at least the people sitting next to your table can't hear your convos Lol. Not sure I will be back. End of food review. You may stop reading here, or continue on with my ramblings. x x x It's been a few years since my last visit to Bestia. Their menu remains more or less the same (bone marrow, dainty little exotic pastas, branzino, etc.) but my taste buds have long moved on -- thanks to opera trips to Venice, Milan, Florence, Pesaro, Regio Emilia and eating interesting foods along the way (far cheaper and more creative than anything in U.S. Italian restaurants including Bestia or your favorite neighborhood Italian spots.... I can say the same thing about restaurants in Peru vis-a-vis U.S.) For far less than $400 paid at Bestia tonight I could get far better food at even a touristy ristorante at the above Italian cities. You would think a successful restaurant like Bestia would have moved to a posher location years ago, but no it's still in a sketchy hood like so many such expensive foodie joints in L.A. where the environs do not match the dining experience (maybe so they can charge you $15 for valet parking Lol).
We celebrated in style at Bestia on St.
Patrick's Day for my bday. From Green Spot Whiskey to Bone Marrow Old Fashioneds, every sip was a taste of luxury. Our bartender Brian was very knowledgeable and hospitable during service and made the moment even more special. Our feast included bone marrow pasta, grilled prawns, lamb neck, scallop crudo, and marinated olives, all washed down with Prosecco. We had the Budino & Coffe& Donuts. Highly recommend the Bone Marrow Old Fashioned. The cocktail menu was beautifully done by Garret Sprague & each drink better than the last.
I visited this restaurant on Sunday night and I was not
I visited this restaurant on Sunday night and I was not disappointed. We ordered the bone marrow appetizer and it was delicious with the right amount of flavor. The Margherita Pizza was delicious and the flavor was balanced with a combination of crisp and soft crust. We had the Branzino Fish and Lamb Neck dishes which were the best in flavor and so tender. My husband had the old fashion and I ordered the Pinot Noir by Nicolas Rossignol...so good. Lastly we ended with Donuts and Coffee...yum. This was by far the best meal we ever had. Thank you! Great ambience and service!
Food was ok.
Was sad they didnt have the lamb neck. Also dont cure their meats anymore. No clams... only mussels in the app. Flavor wasnt as vibrant as before. Duck was good...but it needed something... Throw in a bun... or fresh or vinegretted veggies... perhaps a little acidity needed. Pinot was excellent. Music was a little loud but vibe was fine since I had great company :) Server was great. Water was filled at all times. Valet kinda sucked but ehh.
You never go wrong with this restaurant! Great service!

I've been coming here for years the food never misses! The evolving menu it always exciting while it keeps some of the establishments original pastas and salads that are bestia staples. Music is always settling a tone for the type of night you're about to have. Great food, a beautiful space and amazing servers who are incredibly knowledgeable about all featured dishes that guide you through the menu.
We visited Bestia for a birthday and we overall really
We visited Bestia for a birthday and we overall really enjoyed our dinner. Parking: Valet was $13, you could probably find street parking if you tried in the area but we didn't want to be walking around in the area too late at night. Ambiance & Service: We were seated inside under the cover of the patio and noted that it was pretty loud the entire night with all the other parties around us. Service however was excellent, drinks were always filled, plates were quickly cleaned up and our server was very considerate of our asks and provided great recommendations. Food: Peruvian Scallop Crudo 5/5: Nice complex flavors, scallops were very fresh. 4 per serving. Beef Tartare Crostino 4/5: We love tartare and felt this one had a nice flavor, beef was fresh and texture was great. Roasted Marrow Bone (5/5): One of the highlights of the night and a must try for anyone visiting for the first time. Soppressata & Honey Pizza (2/5): We felt okay about the pizza. Came out fresh but nothing blew us away. Cavatelli Alla Norcina (4/5): If you like truffles definitely recommend this pasta. A little pricey and the portion was small, but full of umami. Grilled Branzino (5/5): Our favorite dish of the night! Branzino itself was fresh and perfectly cooked, all the seasonings used complimented the fish perfectly. Pretty easy to eat as well, we only had to pick out a few bones and could pretty much eat the entire fish with a spoon. Frozen Creamsicle Torte & "Coffee & Donuts" (4/5): Torte was very tart and overall felt like an ice cream cake, the bottom layer of butter cake was moist and helped offset the tartness. The zeppoles were fried to perfection and tasted excellent with the coffee ice cream. Overall we'd recommend Bestia as it's pretty much become a staple in the LA dining scene, and for good reason.
Great Restaurant in Los Angeles
Excellent food in a restaurant that is high on ambiance and good energy. We had 5 adults eating and drinking at this establishment. All drinks were well mixed and not lacking in the amount of spirit included in them. Bestia serves food family style so it is a bit like ordering tapas except the servings are larger. We enjoyed everything we ate and drank and we ate and drank quite a bit. The top favorite was the Duck, though. It was simply superb although the pasta with the bone marrow was also well enjoyed. Finally, we each ordered a different dessert. My favorite was the chocolate tart (torte?). Please note, You need to have reservations for this restaurant and you must be on time with your entire party. One member of our party was delayed. The original indoor reservation had to be surrendered 15 minutes after the time, but the restaurant did work us in and we had no complaints about where we were seated.
Not worth it
I have been to this place twice. Food is good but not excellent. Both time I was here we all felt we been rushed. First time we ( 3 of us) felt we been rushed, our server, every time kept asking are we done. We all thought maybe they are busy but second time, 4 of us, same thing we were rushed after 1 hour. Both time we had reservations. How can you finish your dinner in an hour. This is not a fast-food place. Food is expensive. They are taking advantage of tourists who go there due to Michelin star. They are better than average but do not deserve to have any star.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
