A word from Bettola

At Bettola, the wonderful aroma of our wood-burning oven greets you at the door and infuses the food at your table—from baked asparagus to Cornish hen to our signature light-as-air thin-crust pizzas. Our philosophy is simple: satisfying rustic Italian cuisine, good wine, friendly servers, and a… warm, welcoming atmosphere. We hope to see you soon.Continued

"We had a group brunch for 12 on a Sunday morning around 11:30am. We had the place almost completely to ourselves. It was nice being with my friends without the noise that is a most crowded brunch places. The brunch menu was pretty good. The desserts were really good. I tried the crepes and the apple crisp."

"I thought the meal was just ok, it was something I could've prepared at home. It was spinach fettuccine with chunks of sausage, nothing inspiring about it. I wasn't wowed, I expected more. Other than that, the place was nice and the service was good."

"We were looking for a nice restaurant to have dinner with friends before a concert at The Beacon Theater. We came across Bettola's on Open Table & decided to give it a try. We were happy with our choice. Brick wall and wood burning pizza oven in back. We had the gnocchi and the asparagus for appetizers. The gnocchi was superb!! I'd go back just for that alone! The asparagus was good but not knock your socks off like the gnocchi. I had a delicious salmon entree served with small roasted potato and veggies. My friends ordered the Zuppe di pesce that they enjoyed. I saw super thin crust pizza pass us as we dined and will try that some other day. My husband had the cornish hen which he thought was okay. Will return again."

"Good quality food and service for a very fair price. The pizzas were great, pasta was al dente, and service was quick and friendly. I live in the neighborhood and now this is on my list of places to go."
