    I've lived in Italy for several years and can say that this restaurant is the closest thing to AUTHENTIC ITALIAN as can be found in the Los Angeles area. Everything we ordered, including the wine was absolutely divine. The ambiance there is also modern and clean in design, with a touch of the other worldly European feel. Do yourself a favor and try this place. It will not disappoint, I promise you! I will be returning for sure.

    We absolutely love Musso and Frank, in a short time it has become our go-to place for special occasions, birthdays, treat yourself kind of evenings. All of the staff here is amazing, Craig was top-notch and I hope he serves us again. But all of the servers here are fantastic and truly make this dinner an experience. The food almost comes second but it is AMAZING! Steaks cooked perfectly well, refreshing wedge, and my favorite that jellied consommé (though they were out of it last night sadly). Love the martini’s with their little sidecar and some beautiful wines on the menu. The front desk staff always honor our booth requests and ensure they get us a perfect table. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    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

    Really awesome experience. We did the bread and Caesar salad as apps which were amazing. Our server did a really nice job pairing wines for us. Brown butter ravioli was decadent and excellent. Loved the butternut squash tortellini, sweet winter pasta. Pro Tip: save some bread to dip in the pasta sauce. Did the Bunet for desert, I didn't love it but my partner did. It was a little too overwhelmingly almondy for me. I would try something different next time. But overall, one of the best meals I've ever had. Every bite was a delight and I will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent. Great choice for a date night.
