Bestia

Overview

Opened in 2012 by husband-and-wife team Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis in Downtown LA's Arts District, Bestia quickly became one of the city's most sought-after reservations. The industrial-chic restaurant specializes in sophisticated Italian cuisine with a focus on house-made charcuterie, handmade pastas, and wood-fired pizzas. Reservations typically need to be made a month in advance, and the restaurant has maintained its popularity for over a decade.
