    The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great they helped me celebrate my 50th birthday I would really recommend it to my friend and family

    RIGATONI AI TRE FUNGHI
    Sofya P.

    RIGATONI AI TRE FUNGHI is to die for. I'm still dreaming of that dish. Can't wait to have it again. Fettuccine bolognese is also a hit. Eggplant parm pizza was a nice surprise. Perfect date night. Service was very friendly. Romantic ambiance.

    PENNE ALLA ARRABIATA with cheese
    Barbara S.

    Quick stop on the way home from playing tourist for the day - I was tired and hungry from not having eaten all day. Got sat immediately without reservations at 7pm on a Friday night which is always a special treat. Everyone there was super friendly and service was impeccable. Except we weren't offered a drink nor were we read the specials - which we didn't even notice until we had a different server at the table next to us going through everything. It was a blessing really as we just wanted to eat and leave. I had the penne arrabiata which is my go to when there are too many delicious choices. It was good. I could only eat half as it was a generous serving. Not the best one I've ever had but it hit the spot. However we got a bit of bread before the pasta with a dipping oil with herbs and sundried tomato and garlic that I wish I could have poured over my pasta - it was delish! Great atmosphere / I would love to go back and try something else.

    TAGLIOLINI GAMBERETTI, light and flavorful.
    Scott J.

    Hadn't had Farfalla in years and ordered take-out from them this Sunday and was happily surprised. Started with the Contadina, light veggies with goat cheese that was seasoned perfectly and rich in flavor. The pastas were delicious! My favorite was the Farfalle al Salmone, bowtie pasta with peas served in a light pink sauce. The Tagliolini Gamberetti was also delicious and a bit lighter in flavor. My favorite pasta here was the Ravioli di Zucca, though I haven't had that in years. I did also order the apple tart which arrived cold, but I'm thinking that's cause this was an Uber Eats order. The flavor was still great and the apples delicious, I'm certain this must taste amazing fresh and warm. As far as delivery Italian food goes, this was a win! Parmesan cheese and bread on the side, dishes all packaged extremely well, and all items arriving fresh and tasty. Will definitely be ordering from them again and will gladly go in person as well.

    Olive oil and bread
    Justin J.

    Came here for dinner as I had been craving the pumpkin ravioli. Came here multiple times over the years and the pumpkin ravioli was so flavorful, and hadn't been in some time so stopped by. It was busy for a Monday evening but we were seated right away and waters were brought right out. Next came the bread with an olive oil mixed with garlic and other items. It doesn't necessarily feel the bread is made in house, but it's a basic little pre-meal snack. Our server went over the daily specials and mentioned a smoked mozzarella pizza, so we tried that along with the ravioli de zucca (pumpkin ravioli in a walnut and cream sauce). The pizza was decent but not necessarily something I will remember. It didn't have that fitness when holding it out, it flopped down like it was sad due to the heaviness of the cheese on the front end and it melting through, making the crust soggy. As for the ravioli, I had been craving it for some time but it just didn't hit like it used to. It tasted like something was missing from how it used to be prepared. Really can't put my finger on it but it just didn't carry that same flavor it had in the past, and that was a disappointment. Overall, an ok meal but something was just off with both dishes, unfortunately.

    PENNETTE SANTINO
    Trisha S.

    The penne pasta was absolutely delicious. It was creamy but still dynamic and was such a comfort food. The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was perfect with it. I did not particularly love the pizza because I felt the cheese tastes too "milky" but my sister liked it and said it tasted fresh. The starting bread was super underwhelming along with the garlic confit. The bread was hard and cold. The pasta stole the show for sure!

    CALAMARI FRITTI
    Keilab A.

    Farfalla is such an underrated gem. I came here on a Thursday evening and was seated immediately upon arrival. I made reservations a couple days in advance just in case, but the restaurant was pretty quiet that evening. The waiters were all so friendly and made me feel at home. They serve complimentary bread with the most amazing flavored olive oil (dried roasted tomatoes and garlic, yes please). We ordered the calamari fritti as the app and it was fantastic. Super light and fresh, it's the perfect spring/summer dish. For the mains, we got the tagliolini cozze e vongole and rigatoni al tre funghi. The portions were extremely generous and we had leftovers to take home. Both pastas were incredible and had so much flavor. I especially enjoyed the richness and umami flavors of the funghi pasta. I will definitely be making a trip back here to satisfy any of my Italian food cravings. Well done Farfalla.

    Thaovi T.

    What a gem in Los Feliz! The portions are big and reasonable. The ambiance is romantic and cozy. Authentic Italian feel to the place. Loved the wines and pastas. Ther service was quick. Will come back again!

Both were good but enjoyed the Burratina more. Then we shared a plate of Cacio Pollo Pappardelle. Yum! Creamy rich with perfectly cooked pasta. We finished with a battle of the desserts: flan vs flourless cake. The cake was light and slightly bitter in a good way but the clear winner was the flan. The texture and flavor were fantastic. Highly recommend for the quality and value!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Maccheroni Republic!!!…read more I've been going to this place since 5 years ago and it's still one of my absolute favorite places in LA. So worth going to downtown for. The service is impeccable and very friendly to you. They're really knowledgeable about their dishes too. The place just reeks of experience and professionalism. And I can't even start with the dishes. From the vongole down to the tiramisu, everything is delectable and perfect. The only downside is they raised their prices over the years I loved it when I used to get pasta for less than 20 bucks a few years ago. And the wait tends to be terrible so I would try to go earlier (opening) next time or just hop to a bar nearby while on the waitlist. Overall, I will forever love this place (unless they change the chef for worse) and so worth going every time.

My sister and I came in without reservations around 8pm and they sat us inside on the counter after 10 minutes of waiting. They were pretty full for table dining. We ordered: Steak Tartare (4/5) - Bread was perfectly oiled & crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. The tonnato was very umami and made the dish but the steak itself was alright. Spicy Pomodoro (3.5/5) - This didn't hit as hard for me; I wished it was more spicy and I didn't taste any truffle. Pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Sweet Corn Agnolotti (5/5) - This was delish! Make sure to get equal parts of the pasta, sauce, corn, and crème fraiche (like a light sour cream) to get that flavor explosion. Creme was a little sour, corn was sweet, and the agnolotti was salty; perfect bite fr. My only negative is that this dish was too small for $28 :(. Blood Orange Pavlova (4/5) - A truly layered dessert because if you ate the sorbet by itself, it would be too sour but otherwise, another flavor explosion. The pavlova was thick and you really have to jam your spoon in to break the pieces apart. Service was friendly and fast! Overall, I'd come back!

    Still stands-up to the hype after all these years…read more If "Trendy" was a restaurant, Bestia would easily be in top contention, even after being around for more than a decade. That says a lot. Once upon a time (a few years ago), my CFP + banking institution wanted to thank me for being one of their top private clients. They expressed their gratitude with a very generous, all expense paid full-course meal at Bestia. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. Fast forward to now, I knew that coming back here would be a good idea. Make no mistake, even if you try to book a reservation several weeks in-advance, don't be surprised if the only available seats are at the counter. Granted, I was in a spacey table during my past visit, the counter can be an enjoyable & unintentionally entertaining space. It's great for a more casual vibe, as you get to see some of the kitchen workers put together some of their signature dishes. In many ways, Bestia seems like a microcosm of the city that it rather humbly resides within. What always catches me off-guard, is that the surrounding simple area really doesn't reflect the happening, vibrant, night-life that resides within the building's walls. You feel like you're taken so a different, very social, very bustling world. WINE: Podere 72, Poderi San Lazzaro (Marche region, central Italy) - 8.7 / 10 A very robust blend of Montepulciano & Sangiovese grapes that results in a balanced, medium bodied red wine that stands-up to heartiness of a beef ribeye steak. FOOD: Roasted Bone Marrow - 9.4/ 10 I have several friends that go here just for this particular dish. Funny enough, one can almost always tell that one is at Bestia because of the rather peculiar manner in which this dish is served. Hot, melted bone marrow is appropriately scooped out of the bone & poured onto spinach gnocchetti. It's like eating beef flavored mouth pillows of potato + spinach. It's definitely a dish that will impress whoever you are with. I can never resist ordering this whenever I am here. Oxtail alla Vaccinara - 8.9 / 10 The deep, rich maroon color of the rigatoni (thanks to beets) is a sight to behold. The pasta is firm but not too hard. It's a humble yet complex pasta dish that complements any main course. 26oz Margaret River Wagyu Ribeye - 9.4 / 10 Anybody who knows me knows that I love my ribeye. Any decent fancy restaurant does a ribeye. But no one does a ribeye quite like Bestia. The fermented mushroom cream delivers a punch of pungence not unlike a delectable dijon mustard, but to the highest of levels. This dish also makes me a believer in well-cooked onions served alongside steak. I usually like to take a home a portion of ribeye for later, but this is one of the very few instances when the steak is so good, that I can't help but finish it here. Again, the portion is more than enough to be shared. Fromage Blanc Mousse - 9.1 / 10 This seasonal dish hits all the right notes. It's the fanciest of cheesecakes, so I recommend sharing this. With its decadence, a little truly goes a long way & that's perfectly fine. The richness of the cheese is offset perfectly by the right balance of candied kumquats. A great "bite" to end on. Huge shout-out & thanks to Radu for being the nicest & most enthusiastic of servers. It's little things like him being so down to take pics of you with your party that really make me want to come back here. It the owners / management is reading this, please recognize how pivotal he is to your team. If he was working under me, I would most definitely give him a raise. Also, shout-out to Dani at the hostess stand. She is one of the most personable people. For being the first person that patrons see upon entering, she is the perfect face, attitude, & welcoming personality that the hospitality industry is in dire need of. She's a rockstar of a hostess & a pleasure to talk with. Bestia is a better place because of valuable employees like Radu & Dani. As always, come for the food. Come back for the service. I would definitely come back because of how amazing Radu & Dani are. Years after the hype, the vibe is still very much happening at Bestia.

The experience did not disappoint -- it was beautiful from beginning to end. Our extraordinary server was James. He was engaging, attentive and unpretentious. His knowledge of the menu was impressive as he explained each section and item in a simplified way. After making our choices, he suggested changing one of our pasta selections since they all had heavy sauces. We accepted his recommendation of the Spaghetti Arrabbiata, which turned out to be everyone's favorite! The tomato-based sauce was light and perfectly spicy. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was amazing. The focaccia, oxtail meatballs and burrata with ham were a great start, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and thoughtful preparations -- they set the tone for our entire meal. The taste and texture of the freshly made pastas were unmistakable and so, so good with the wonderful sauces. The lamb chops were well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the bed of sliced snow peas, green beans and English peas set over mint sauce. After all that, we had just enough room for shared desserts -- Budino and Tiramisu. Both were the perfect finish to a delicious meal. If you like chocolate, the Budino is for you -- rich but not overly sweet. Each yummy bite with the crumble topping was nicely balanced by the sprinkled salt. Service was impeccable and well-coordinated. We especially appreciated that dishes and utensils were changed after each course. A couple things to keep in mind: *Reservations - Via Resy. The reservation window is open 14 days at a time. *Parking - Valet is right in front. We found street parking just around the corner on Sunset (metered but free after 7pm). *Price Point - Approximately $100 per person. Mother Wolf is a cashless establishment. A 5% wellness fee is added to all checks. We will absolutely be back!
