Bettola

We really enjoyed this very attractive Italian Cafe-type restaurant. We went with the Abe Froman, the Sunday Gravy with Meatballs, and the Braised Short Rib (which couldn't have been more tender and flavorful). All were incredible, as was the arancini appetizer we enjoyed. I've previously enjoyed the Big Short sandwich, the Pasta with Beans soup, and the Eggplant Rollatini (all appetizers). The pizza is also incredible...cooked in their brick oven. The homemade pasta, while delicious, is definitely VERY Al Dente (perhaps a bit more than most homemade pasta I've had). The service matched the quality of the food, as did the ambience and entree prices (altogether contributing to a 5 star rating)!

Let the pictures speak for themselves. The food is absolutely rubbish. We ordered the Bolognese and Veal & Eggplant as take out. The pasta was dry and the meat in the sauce tasted old. The veal & eggplant were fried until the texture resembled leather (in dirty old fryer oil). We called the restaurant to give our feedback and the person answering the phone was beyond rude and overly defensive. I think the owner should know what’s going on with their restaurant.

Great service and food! I’m very picky when it comes to my pizza and Bettola pizza and drinks never disappoint. For this visit, we got the bangin’ broccoli, gold digger pizza and the cocktail special (Paradise Falls, inspired by the movie Up). Everything was great! I also recommend the Fig ‘N’ A and margherita pizzas as well as the wings and meatballs. The place is cute, but can get a bit noisy and seating for larger parties might be tough during prime dinner time. Mainly street parking but there is a bank parking lot you can park in after bank hours but it’s a short walk.

Wins - The Gold Digger on a gluten free crust slays. It's so good we started eating it straight out of the box as we walked out the door, wearing that mustard bourbon BBQ sauce dripping from our lips - Gluten free desserts (wha-wha!!??!?) - Cherry Pecan salad was solid. Props for doing something a little different by using cherries instead of the usual cranberries Losses Nothing to lose. Would gladly order from Bettola again

I stopped by Bettola yesterday afternoon for a quick snack and a drink. I really wanted to like this place and they've been on my list of places to try for quite some time. While seated at the bar, I watched the bartender pull out a small, filthy fish tank from near the register. She mentioned the fish's name was "Stephanie" and casually remarked that the tank was "looking pretty rough." What happened next was truly shocking. I've never seen anything like it. She went into the kitchen, grabbed a stainless steel strainer, and dumped the entire contents of the aquarium into it. She rinsed the rocks, media and decorations in the strainer. She also placed the empty aquarium directly into the same dishwasher used for customer glassware. After that, she wiped up the spilled dirty aquarium water with a rag and then used that same rag to wipe down the rest of the area behind bar. Not once did I see her using cleaning spray or dispose of the rag she used. She then returned the strainer to the kitchen. I felt compelled to document this because it was such a shocking/bizarre occurrence that would otherwise be VERY hard to believe. I brought this to the manager, Ashley’s attention. I made it clear that I wasn't trying to start problems but that it's something that really needs to be addressed before somebody gets sick. After all, using a strainer that’s used for customers food shouldn’t be getting used for pets… Rather than taking my concern seriously, she responded with a smug attitude and claimed that the health department had approved of it last week. She insisted the dishwasher would "sanitize everything," so it was "not a problem." Because of what I witnessed and how poorly management handled it, I cashed out and left. I initially intended on ordering food to go for my husband and I but at that point, I didn't want to take any risks. If this is how they handle cleanliness and food safety out in the open, I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes. I would strongly think twice before dining here. Safety precautions exist for a reason, and they are not something to take lightly. People can get seriously ill, and it is incredibly disappointing to see them dismiss such concerns so easily. This place has potential but what I saw today and how poorly the situation was handled is enough to make me never want to go back.

Fun place! Our server, Rain, was fantastic as we were a large party with plans to join a concert that evening so time was limited. The pizza was delicious and Chopped Salad was outstanding!

Seen a reel on IG about this place so I have a shot, glad I did, we got brick oven pizza, honey mustard chicken pizza, chicken cutlet sandwich and Parmesan truffle fries...it was all perfect pizza was light and airy fresh dough cooked perfectly, fries were the best I've had, sandwich was fresh and tasty, staff was super friendly and the adult drinks were made perfectly..go early because the place is small and packs quickly. We been twice and the second time there was a 1 hour 45 min wait
