   We came to Bestia on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! We set up reservations for 10:15 pm, arrived at 10:05 pm and was seated right away. Service was great and I appreciated when they told us what the dishes consisted of every time it was served. Food was incredible and I recommend having the salad and scallop crudo. 100% will return for dinner again.

   Great service and food. We shared burrata pizza and gnocchi pasta. Chocolate budino for dessert was amazing. The restaurant was loud which made conversation difficult at times. Valet parking was efficient ($12).

   Food was very good. Best dishes were the cavatelli pasta and the Cesar salad. The downside was the impatience of the waitstaff. It felt like their main goal was to rush you through your meal and get you out of the door as soon as possible. They started bussing our appetizer dishes even though people were still eating. And the dessert menu appeared even before the mains were halfway finished. The restaurant had a club atmosphere, in that the music was playing so loudly that you could barely hold a conversation with the person sitting next to you. And the floor was so packed with tables that walkways were so narrow that it was a tough walk to your table.

   It was impossible to get service. Other people with out reservations seated before. Over heard the hostess say “sit them in the ugly section”. Then the snicker. But yeah, the food was tasty. Thanks ruining a pleasant night out.

   we were running late so we called and told the restaurant exactly what time we would be arriving, we were late because of traffic, and that is on us. But there was only one table outside by the entrance by the time we arrived and it was freezing outside. They had a heat lamp and offered us a blanket but it was still cold. I ordered tea before the meal so by the time we started eating I was not really as hungry as I was when I arrived from the 2 cups of tea. The food was amazing. Date enjoyed it a lot. His comment was the hostess was nice but chastising us for being late so told us it was either the outside table or the bar. Overall the place is amazing. Just don't be late.

    It was all good until the coffee which was terrible. Why such cheap tasteless coffee? No espresso - just cheep railroad coffee. BAD.

    Food beautifully prepared and presented family style. Portions decent though not overwhelming. Standouts were the agnolotti the margherita pizza the pork chop and the budino tarte. . Especially for chocolate lovers. Service was great but the restaurant is so loud even our waiter could not hear our orders completely. And close to the kitchen there is a constant smoke presence. A very busy place but honestly outdoor seating is quieter.

    Bestia was good. But it is astronomically overpriced. There are places with just as good food for less. Or go down the street to Girl and The Goat or Bavel (same owners) for a meal that's worth what it charges.

    Once my favorite restaurant, now seems to be lacking attention. Menu seemed less inspired, and service was… lacking. Food was good, but not as well executed as in the past. This restaurant was always top of my list for dining out, but I don’t think I’ll be back.

    The staff is ridiculously attentive. Anyone walking past your table will fill your water. They have service down to a science here. Bone marrow is the greatest, and the pizza is some of the best in the business

    Had a very bad experience at Bestia for my Dad’s birthday. The restaurant is very loud and difficult to have a conversation. Waitress was pushy and tried to oversell pricey menu items like the $180 wagyu ribeye. We ordered 4 pastas, a pizza, the lamb neck and a caesar salad. Pastas were nothing special and very small pieces, pizza crust was burnt black, pork chops were incorrectly brought to the table instead of the lamb neck and the salad never arrived and had to cancel. There is a $50 corkage fee and we poured our own glasses the whole night. Everyone was in a bad mood and over the whole dinner by the time dessert arrived. Will not be going back again.

    2 (squid ink pasta and lamb neck) out of the 3 we wanted to order were out by 9pm. If you really want to try those popular dishes, make sure you get there early. The branzino (European sea Base) was tender, juicy and delicious.

    Generally, the Food remains a revelation still after all these years. But I have to say the closing chapter sucked extremities in a profound way… absolutely useless dessert (crème fraiche) and the worst coffee ever that really took the sparkle out of the occasion. They are vehement in their refusal to serve a latte, expresso or cappuccino etc… Why? The coffee dessert combination was like being served from a different restaurant close in caliber to a Dennys…. Why why why why why…….??????

    Table is small, and the distance b/w tables was too small, the next table people almost touch when they sit at their table. The restaurant was very crowded. The food was very delicious, and the service was good; we ordered 2 drinks and 4 dishes, and they served the food so fast, we finished the dinner within one hour, which was super nice..... don't like to sit there waiting for food for too long.
