The place
A warehouse, an alleyway, a garage door
In 2012, Chef Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis found themselves in a vacant warehouse, down a dimly lit alleyway at the edge of downtown Los Angeles. The exposed brick, steel beams, and well-worked concrete spoke to who they were as people and the food they wanted to cook. The converted warehouse soon opened its garage door and with it, a menu that reflected Menashe's interpretations of Italian classics with an emphasis on powerful, yet balanced flavors and wood-fired cooking, while Gergis' desserts brought a final course of equally reimagined heavy hitters. Over a decade later, the dining room at Bestia feels as charged as ever.
The room
Where you sit changes the night
The open kitchen
The intensity of the open kitchen and the passion of the Bestia team remains timelessly palpable.
The courtyard
Lush, with the music dimmed to a hum and trees ripe with figs framing your view.
The bar
Sit down for pizza and a beer — the shortest, best version of a night here.
Wine and cocktails
Well-crafted cocktails and an extraordinary wine program alongside the seasonal menu.
A table for fourteen
Or take the long way: a four-course meal with 14 of your closest friends.
