Good Food

A True Italian Restaurant in Downtown LA

Chef Ori Menashe worked under chef Gino Angelini for years before opening his own restaurant, Bestia , late last year. Jonathan Gold describes the restaurant as truly Italian. He recommends ordering the house made charcuterie, the Cassoela Milanese, cavatelli alla norcina, beef heart tartare and rice pudding for dessert.
