Bestia is in Downtown LA
Italian cooking is a strong thread in modern Los Angeles. Bestia in the Arts District is run by Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis, and the Michelin Guide cites its grilled prawns, blistered pizzas and truffle pastas. Felix Trattoria on Abbot Kinney, from Evan Funke and Janet Zuccarini, draws on regional Italy. Nancy Silverton's Chi Spacca on Melrose is, in Michelin's words, an Italian take on the old-school steakhouse.
