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.

    The minute you walk in the host and hostesses greet you with such friendly and genuine kindness. Service staff in all areas are fabulous. The food is what brings us back and helps us introduce family and friends to what we already know and have experienced on many occasions! Thank you to the Chef and kitchen staff for an excellent and truly epicurean delight! See you again soon! P.S. Simone, Kevin, Jackie, Jenny you are the best!

    Food was great - but the environment was super loud, maybe better to sit outside next time.

    This is one of the restaurants that leave great impressions and make you want to come back again and again. Food were great, service was impeccable. My glass of water was never left empty for more than 2 minutes. The only downside is the portion size, they're tiny! And since they taste so good it's not enough to order only 1. Our favorite is the ribeye, Cavatelli (pork sausage with truffle), Squid Ink pasta, Scallop Crudo and of course the bone marrow.

    Always satisfied at Bestia. Excellent food and service. As always, would love the restaurant to tone down the noise level a bit.
