Best Italian Restaurants in Duarte

Always a favorite to come to Bestia, their food is stellar and they just do it right! Arriving right before restaurant opens is always a fave of mine, caught the tail end of their service staff pre shift and it totally warmed my heart. It really does make a difference when employees seem like they like where they work. I heard and felt energy, excitement and fun from each person I encountered.

Our family of six, all adults, dined here for our Christmas meal. The staff was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and ensured we had everything we needed. The attention to detail was impressive, from the warm greeting at the door to the genuine smiles throughout the evening. Every dish we ordered was delicious. We started with the chorizos plate then five of us moved on to various steaks and one had spinach ravioli. We rounded out our meal with sides of sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes. It was all so good. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Malbec is a great choice. This wasn't our first time here and won't be our last.

Food delicious as usual, ambience perfect for Christmas Eve, felt like NY vibes busy lively full house with families!! Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve with the family and the service is great 👍 🎄🤩👌🥂

It’s an authentic Italian restaurant. The owner and staff has always been welcoming and friendly. The pastas are freshly made along with the specials. The fish are smoked and prepared with traditional techniques of hickory wood. Great selection of Italian wines make it complete. It’s a great family run ristorante!

Honestly the best steaks in town! Great cocktails too!
