We enjoyed our meal and especially the grilled octopus! The flavor was outstanding! The cocktail portions were in smaller glasses although mixed well. The ribeye was flavorful and served with three sauces. The side avocado, tomato and cucumber salad was delicious! The waiter was attentive and polite and service was timely. I would dine here again.

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.

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!
