    The food quality is consistent and outstanding. We have been to bestia multiple times and I am impressed at how they maintain the same standard and consistency. We had the Caesar salad, mussels and spinach tagliatelle. All three dishes were made to perfection. Would highly recommend their fuyu permisson ricotta tart dessert- not too sweet and to me the perfect end to an outstanding meal. My only quibble is that their prices have gone up substantially which makes this a place for only very special occasions.

    Angelini is our favourite go-to Italian restaurant in LA. A great neighbourhood place for us living in West Hollywood Angelini is a reliable, constant good choice for great Italian food. The service is super friendly and impeccable and whether sitting outdoors or indoors ( there is a new quiet, roomy area) it is always a terrific place to bring friends and family.

    The atmosphere was energetic and vibrant, with live music adding a great touch to the evening. Our server was incredibly patient and accommodating, especially since we had a large party. Despite being very busy, they never once rushed us and let us enjoy our time there for several hours. The service was top-notch, and the food was delicious. You must try the red and black mole and the seafood soup! I highly recommend making reservations in advance, as it can get quite crowded. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for great food and a lively dining experience!
