Amazing food, great service, atmosphere is more family style than fancy restaurant. Appetizers are amazing. We had the scallop ctudo, duck pate and veal tartar. All excellent. We had the chestnut pasta, awesome. For main course we had the lamb neck. It was very good but because it comes with lettuce and caesars dressing we felt like we finished with a salad. That was the only negative. We will definitely return.
The food was really good. Like, how does one make salad taste this good? But the service was mid, and there were only two toilet stalls for a restaurant this expensive and crowded. Music was also a tad bit loud for my liking. If you sit outdoors it’s easier to talk, but I frankly do not have any idea how people seated indoors hear one another. Would recommend a visit if you’re in LA as the food is excellent. but expect to pay good money for this. There’s free street parking if you arrive early, otherwise there is valet as well.
I heard some mix reviews but I’m so glad I came! My fav dishes of the night were the snap peas, octopus, spicy prawns, branzino and squid ink pasta 🤤🤤 The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is cause they don’t have mainstream liquor and their tequila and vodka were not ittt.
Bastia in Los Angeles is an absolute standout and easily one of the best Italian dining experiences we’ve had. We called the same day on a whim and were thrilled to score seats at the chef’s counter, front row to the wood-fired pizza oven, the magic happening in the kitchen, and the chefs in action while dining, which added an unforgettable layer to the evening. Our server was exceptional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and full of great recommendations. We started with the Charred Spanish Octopus, which was perfectly tender and beautifully smoky. The Herb Caesar salad was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced, but the real star of the night was the Grilled Branzino, absolutely DIVINE. Light, flaky, and full of flavor, it was cooked to perfection. Sitting so close to the pizza ovens made it impossible to resist ordering a pizza, so we went with the ’Nduja, bold, perfectly spicy, and so satisfying that we happily boxed half to enjoy later. No regrets. The setting itself is stylish and artsy, tucked into a cool warehouse-like space in a vibrant neighborhood. Valet parking is available for $13, which is a bonus in LA and makes the experience even easier. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, Bastia exceeded every expectation. This is now one of our go-to Italian spots in LA, and we will absolutely be back every time we’re in town.
I can see why this is one of LA's best restaurants! When you walk in you can feel the energy and excitement that comes from a great restaurant. This is the spot to be! Amazing Italian food with a flare. The bone marrow is a must! The steak was cooked perfectly and was tender and juicy. Make sure to save room for dessert too!
