Much has been written about Bestia, the rustic Italian restaurant in LA's Arts District. It proved a tough, but not impossible, reservation to snag with some planning. After a soul-wrenching drive through LA's Skid Row you arrive at a dead-end street (E. 7th PL) and a sea of hipsters in a mostly industrial setting.. It's all good, but it's not cheap. Among other items we enjoyed the Cavatelli alla Norcina (ricotta dumplings, housemade pork sausage, black truffles, grana padano) and the Spaghetti Rustichella (dungeness crab, citrus, calabrian chili, thai basil, onion seed). We never eat dessert, but were talked into a rhubarb & frangipane crostata with raspberry glaze, and with housemade buttermilk ricotta ice cream on the side. We were glad we did as it was a strong offering and not too sweet. Kinda looks like a faux pizza slice. There was a lot we did not try here, so there is good reason to return.

In honor of Michel Richard, who left California I understand because diners ignored his menu and instead asked for healthy blah food like grilled fish on a bed of lettuce, my first stop in California was for a nice burger. Father's Office definitely delivered, this is a serious burger. According to wikipedia and consistent with my own memory, it is the "Office Burger, a patty of fine dry-aged beef topped with caramelized onions, Gruyère and Maytag cheeses, applewood-smoked bacon compote and arugula served on a soft roll." I also got a side of sweet potato fries, which represented quite well. It was fairly brisk on a Tuesday evening. The place is a bit dark (that's why I couldn't identify everything on the burger) but definitely worth the stop in Santa Monica.
