We had a decent meal. Our server was great and the entire staff was friendly. I was excited to eat there because it's always been hard to get a reservation there, so my expectations were high. I'm afraid this place was disappointing for us. I'm a big fan of bone marrow, but their bone marrow is not good bone marrow-it's very thin and greasy and they immediately serve it mixed into some spinach pasta to hide this fact. (We ordered a second plate to taste it as is). The food was ok. Priced too high for the portion they say is recommended to share. And the atmosphere is nice but too loud if you want to have a decent conversation. That's my take. Not sure if I will go back.

I have to start of by saying the food was excellent however we showed up early for our 8pm reservation and our table was not ready until 8:20. We had to leave in a hour to get to another engagement. Also they knew that it was my husbands birthday and really don't do anything special ( wishful thinking on my part) . Would I come back for the food ... yes. Customer service hmm maybe

Unsure why we had to be seated at the worst table in the entire restaurant. We definitely did not deserve that. Servers and people kept knocking my chair going in/out of the door I was placed up against. Our actual server's attitude could've used a little tuning.

Great food, great experience. The Somalia recommended a great bottle of wine, which complemented dinner. 
Anibal
Great food but everything is rushed, tables are jammed together and you can't hear yourself think given the noise level. Better choices in the area for an overall experience. One and done!

An outstanding night at Bestia from start to finish. Marie and the entire wait staff were incredible—warm, attentive, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. We began with a light Caesar salad, followed by exactly four spicy prawns swimming in a deeply flavorful, crave-worthy sauce. The ricotta with garlic bread was indulgent and perfect for sharing, and the burrata pizze hit all the right notes. For mains, we ordered two pasta dishes: one with mushrooms and chestnuts that was earthy and comforting, and a gnocchi that was saucy, rich, and executed flawlessly. Everything was washed down with an 1801 beer and a lovely white wine that paired beautifully with the meal. We ended the night with the chocolate budino—decadent, balanced, and the ideal finale. Bestia continues to deliver exceptional food, impeccable service, and an experience that feels special every time. Can't wait to return. Minor critique only because everything else was so excellent—the chairs are adorable, but not the most comfortable for dinner.

Lives up to the hype. The food is superb. We really enjoyed the tartar, pastas, Caesar salad, and branzino. Service was ok. Cocktails were heavenly. Just go already.
Anne
Always have consistently great food and attentive service! All the pasta dishes were exceptional.
Oriana
The service and food were excellent; the only thing I didn't like was that the place was extremely crowded. But it wasn't a problem, so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

We would typically give this restaurant a five star however they changed the menu on us and the lamb neck that we become so accustomed to ordering was taken off! I was celebrate my birthday and was very disappointed in the change in menu, the substitute entrée option that we got was a pasta dish, which did not compare to the lamb neck at all! The service was excellent. The ambience is always great and the meal in itself was extremely delicious. We would definitely go back again, hopeful that the lamb neck returns to the menu.
The food outstanding. You should try every course. It just makes sense as you work up to the finale. I want to emphasize on the wine selection and the creativity of it. Although there is no giant wine list what they serve is EXCELLENT if you know how to express what you're looking for. Its perfect perfect perfect. Bravo!!!

It was really loud, and the table of four next to us was being super noisy and rude. Everyone kept looking at them, but they didn't tone it down at all. I even asked the server if they could say something to them because it was bothering the whole room, but nothing was done. Instead, they turned the music up even louder. We were sitting outdoor corner table, which made the whole experience worse. The environment honestly didn't match the price at all.

Very Good food, very very small portions (not shareable at all ), very very very expensive , not worth, the prices , very very very VERY loud and noisy !!! Definitely NOT a date night option. ABSOLUTELY NO MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS ALLOWED TO FOOD ORDERS, not even something as simple as extra crispy crust on the pizza or easy on the tomato sauce !! $5 PER SLICE cake cutting fee when you bring your own cake for a Birthday celebration/ dinner AND STAFF DOESNT EVEN SING “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” !

Got there at 9 o'clock they were out of spicy prawns They were out of the pork chops Waiter came around never told me that he'd be leaving or that he wasn't our original server paid $185 and ordered asked for a medium cooked steak and got rare order three plates a pizza the fish, which, by the way was really good and tasty. I had their pizza it was ehhh steak was also ehhh  The worst part was that the pizza came out then the fish five minutes later by the time my wife was done with half of her plate. My steak came out beyond late to where I had a sever come out and tell me your steak coming right up after we are half way on a plate food gets there. I have an empty cup of soda and an empty bottle and still didn't ask if I needed a drink. Had to ask a different waiter all in all service was horrible. Maybe just my experience. Best of luck anyone going there?
