Nothing special. Overrated, small portion of burgers with high price. Two small burgers with a salad and two small local draught beers almost 60 euro!

This is a very nice spot to eat. I had the salmon and it was so fresh and delicious. Mark‘s service was very nice and friendly and the cider he recommended was perfect :-)

We came to Bestia for lunch since we had to wait to enter the Basilica, where captivated by the tasty menu and decided to try. Couldn’t be happier with our experience! The waitresses are super kind, speak English perfectly and the food was delicious. We...tried the beef tartare which is enough to share in 2 if you’re not too hungry, also tried the spicy arancini with sour cream (delicious). Then I ordered a crispy chicken burger, while my partner got some fried chicken with spicy mayo, both really tasteful dishes. We lastly had a pleasant dessert. The price is perfectly fine for the quality of the food and the positioning. We will definitely come back!More
