East LA Restaurants

Celebrated my wife’s birthday here and so happy we did , there was live music which set an amazing vibe , food was great ! After dinner we went upstairs to the top lounge area which had an even better view. My wife really wanted dinner at a location that had a view and outdoors and this was the perfect spot. She loved the pictures we took there

Camelia was outstanding, definitely didn't disappoint. Very impressive how consistently high the quality was across the board—from venue to service to cocktails to food. Refreshingly different and excellent flavor profile on some of the traditional dishes and drinks. It's always nice to have a new place that immediately jumps onto your list of favorites in LA...and this one feels like it'll be there for a while.

The Bavel team KILLED it! Best meal and service we had in a really long time. My wife and I got the Nduja, Kibbeh, Oyster Shrooms, Prawns, Lamb Neck, and Cheesecake for dessert. Food was incredible and the timing on each course was spot on. Our server was on it and the kitchen was vibing. Busser was super friendly and attentive. I dropped my napkin and Andrew came in and got me a new one. Diddy song popped up in the music shuffle and they changed it lol. This team knows what’s up. It was our first time visiting from SF but if this is how they do, then damn… play ball!

I have been to the Chicago location several times but this surpassed that in every way. The ambiance was bright and energetic. One hallmark of a great foodie experience is that I can’t stop thinking about the plates we had last night. The joyful perfectly times service was the best I have had in ages. Claire was flawless. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in LA.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Bestia! From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch. We started with the house-made ricotta and salumi, which were phenomenal—so incredibly tasty! For our main course, we enjoyed the Cavatelli alla Norcina, and the truffle in this dish was simply incredible, with flavors that perfectly complemented each other. The pork chop that followed was a showstopper, and the cabbage slaw with sesame flavors was the perfect accompaniment, enhancing the overall experience. To top it all off, the sommelier helped us select a wonderful wine that paired beautifully with our meal. Every aspect of our visit was delightful, and we can't wait to return! Highly recommend!
