    Cheesecake to go!
    Vidal M.

    Always good food and hospitality. Love the sandwich specials. Nice spacious back patio sitting.

    It was my first time here and it was amazing. We had the crispy Caesar wrap and it was busting at the seams. It was so perfect for a beach day or picnic in the park. We also tried the arancini and the vodka sauce is to DIE for. I would definitely recommend getting those for an app. I also tried the desserts and the cinnamon roll is so so good.

    The Eggplant Parm
    Michelle B.

    I had seen Ggiata talked about on social media and having been in the area with my friend from out of town, we arrived here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Parking in Koreatown is always an adventure but we were lucky enough to find free street parking a block and 1/2 before on Marathon. You order inside at the counter and it seemed like most people come here for takeout, there is back patio available outdoor seating. We waited in the back though for about 25 mins for our sandwich and salad which when I went inside to inquire about, even the cashier thought was odd so maybe this was just a weird fluke? The Eggplant Parm 5/5 OMG latest obsession !! Beautifully toasted bread plus well fried but not overdone spicy eggplant, melts in your mouth

    Solid sandwich spot in the area. They have a breakfast menu, and they're open for dinner too. Parking is hard to find. If you're driving, you should order ahead because there is a wait. I got the prosciutto panini, which had hints of sweet, salty, and spicy throughout. Highly recommend. No indoor seating Back patio has plenty of seating and counter seating with water and napkins Bathroom available (one room)

    The Meatball Parm &  The Chicken Parm
    Sal C.

    The meatball parm and chicken parm were absolutely delicious. The meatballs were tender and flavorful with an amazing pomodoro sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil that tasted incredibly fresh and high quality. The chicken parm was just as good with a juicy, tender chicken cutlet with a crispy breading that held up perfectly with the sauce and cheese. The bread had a great crunch, the sauce was excellent, and you could really taste the quality ingredients in every bite. Definitely one of the best parm sandwiches I've had.

    Looking for a great solid sandwich option? You've found it. Pricey for a sandwich but you do get a good portion size and they aren't stingy with the meat. My only complaint is that they don't do substitutions with any of their options. Still don't know the reasoning why - but that's what I was told. Usually I would switch out any pork for turkey. I usually gravitate towards anything Italian when it comes to subs.... But I am so happy with their crispy chicken Caesar wrap! It's fresh, filling and flavorful. Their interior decor is fire! Lots of memorabilia to look at as you patiently wait on your order.

    Man, I absolutely love this spot every time I bring a new friend here they can't wait to come back again. It's incredible. I love the vibe and energy. We lucked out and got incredible service with our friend Troy; and y'all really made my day. Thank you for the lunch and desserts.

    The Burr ($16): The bread leaned on the tougher side, and the whole thing ended up giving me Subway vibes.

    Ggiata is one of those spots that I want to love, but just can't quite get there. The interior itself is clean, cute and the service is quick. The menu is vast and interesting -- and the reason I've visited about 4 times now -- but each visit has me wanting a bit more to be desired from the food. A quick note on seating, there's one 2-top inside, and a back patio, but parking in the area is limited, so expect to eat in your car or elsewhere. Here's what I ordered on my most recent visit on Dec 29, 2025: The Burr ($16): The bread leaned on the tougher side, and the whole thing ended up giving me Subway vibes. The Meatball Parm ($16): The meatballs were good, pesto was light and nicely complimented by the fresh basil. Unfortunately, the bread was very tough and sandwich itself was pretty small. The Lorri ($16): The eggplant cutlet flavor was good and worked well with the roasted peppers and balsamic glaze -- but the cutlet was cold, and both the roasted broccolini and bread were really tough to chew. Other items I've ordered on past visits: The Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap ($16): Solid. One of the better caesar salad wraps I've had, and it holds really well together while eating. The Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich ($16): The honey mustard dressing flavor was light and helped cut the sandwich's richness, but the cutlet was cold and tough.

    The Antonia

    One of the best sandwich shops in LA! My favorites are The Antonia, The Spicy P, and the Arancini. I really want to the recipe for the spicy vodka sauce the arancini comes with. Haven't tried any of the wraps but the bread is so chewy and good that I could never choose a wrap over sandwich! The service is pretty quick and the restaurant is clean and has a friendly vibe.

    Caesar chicken wrap
    Kathy X.

    Finally tried the chicken Caesar wrap and it is SO GOOD! First of all, the tortilla has a nice chewy texture to it. The wrap is super balanced in chicken, veggies, and these crunchy croutons. They also fill every piece of the wrap, so each bite is perfect! And the Caesar dressing is herby and packed with flavor!

    I don't even remember what I got but it was like chicken cutlet pesto tomato sauce Mozzarella vibe it was incredible. Def recommend.

    eggplant parm
    Roxanne C.

    Heard lots of great things about Ggiata online, so we decided to pop by on a rainy day. I got the eggplant parm! I loved the crispiness of the eggplant cutlet and the toastiness of the sesame bread. The marinara was just your classic/standard red sauce. I think I should have ordered the Lorri instead because I enjoyed the eggplant part of the sandwich, but everything else got heavy pretty fast. Still a satisfying meal on a cold day! I don't know if I would come back because parking was hard to find on the street and I think I prefer other sandwich joints. I still think this is worth a try if you love sandwiches. I believe most of their seating is outdoor and there's just one table for two inside.

    Two different specials (I can't remember their names)
    Sara C.

    We loved it! I am already craving another sandwich from here and it's only been 24 hours. We tried their specialty sandwiches and we obsessed with each of them. They had the seeded rolls which was a nice touch. Service was good. They had an adorable back patio where we could sit to eat, they had all the essentials back there (napkins, forks, water, to go boxes). Parking sucks but that's not their fault.

    Do they really not have any vegan options?

    Yes they have vegan options. Request they eliminate the cheese. The “Lorri” without cheese is a perfect Vegan choice. It’s so delicious! I have ordered it many many times. Enjoy!

    Gluten free options?

    They now have GF bread! Finally!!!

    Is there GF bread avail?

    Yes!!! There's GF bread now.

    Are there options for vegetarian/vegans? Can one modify sandwiches to their liking with established sandwiches?

    They have a vegetarian option but not vegan also I think it's a preset menu , I haven't asked to personally customize the sandwich, I just order what's on the menu

    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.

    I've been wanting to try Bestia for a long time because of all the hype, but honestly, the…read moreexperience ended up being pretty underwhelming for the price. We ordered the squid ink pasta, pizza, and dessert, and the highlight of the meal was definitely the coffee and donuts dessert. The pasta was around $42 for a pretty small portion and honestly lacked flavor. The noodles were also harder than expected, texture-wise, and overall, it just didn't feel worth the price tag. The pizza was decent but tasted more like your average pizza that was just slightly elevated. Nothing really made me feel like the food justified how expensive everything was. The service was okay not bad at all and the interior itself is nice, but the overall vibe felt more suited for special occasions or dressed up dinners rather than casually stopping by for a quick bite. We came in wearing gym clothes after a workout and honestly felt a little out of place compared to everyone else there. What also left a weird feeling afterward was the automatic 4% employee health/benefits surcharge added on top of tax and tip. I completely support employees having healthcare and benefits, but when the food is already priced this high, it honestly makes me wonder why that cost is still being pushed onto customers separately. Dining here for just a few items already came out to over $100, so seeing another surcharge added afterward made the experience feel even more overpriced. I didn't ask for the charge to be removed, but the fact that customers have to specifically request that feels awkward and uncomfortable. Personally, I'd rather restaurants just price things transparently upfront instead of adding separate surcharges at the end. Overall, the dessert saved the experience a little, but for the price and overall experience, I personally don't see myself rushing back.

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!
