Bestia

So, I have found my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles! For months, I've heard nothing but amazing reviews about LA's most talked about restaurant, Bestia. I have wanted to try Bestia for a long time, and it finally worked out perfectly when I was in the area for The Downtown Art Walk, which occurs every month on the 2nd Thursday.

Bestia, a rustic Italian restaurant, is located in the Arts District of downtown LA. From the moment we walked into the industrial-modern rustic space with high ceilings and an open kitchen filled with deliciousness, I was hooked. It was 10 PM, and the restaurant was still attractive, loud and incredibly packed. From the Smoked Mackerel Crostino and delicious (hands-down the best one in LA) Roasted Bone Marrow with spinach gnocchetti to the Dry-Aged Steak and chocolate/salted caramel tart for dessert, everything was done to perfection. Not to mention, the cocktails were impeccable.

I highly recommend Bestia, and I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! I promise, it's the perfect date night destination.
