Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ori Menashe & Genevieve Gergis

  • Award icon

    MICHELIN Plate

    2022

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.

    OMG the bone marrow pasta appetizer I live for. Everything is delicious. Not too many places would I want/trust a beef tartare but this one is amazing. I loved it and that is very odd for me to be able to say. I also just really appreciate all the quality...food, service and drink. We are lucky to have Bestia near us and look forward to our next visit.

    The only one thing about Bestia is delicious like nowhere food. Overall too loud, too dark place. Will try to come earlier next time and maybe will choose to be sited outside, by the entrance.

    Lives up to the hype. Everything we had was amazing and the soundtrack being “prom rap songs 2006” was a delight

    Another wonderful meal at Bestia. The whipped ricotta melts in your mouth. The pizza is the best. Bar su chocolat for dessert was delicious.
