    Really good, innovative food with lots of attention to simple things like sides and salads. Reasonable prices for the quality (and quantity) of food. Staff is well trained and friendly. This has become one of my absolute favorite neighborhood places.

    We visited Bettola last night for the first time. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful with the menu. Great service. We ended up doing the tasting menu which was somewhat confusing- could be better explained on the menu. But it was so fun to try so many different offerings. We will definitely be back.
    BettolaResponded on 25 November 2024
    Laura! Thank you for the 5-star review! Our servers should be prepared to explain anything at any time, so I am sorry for the confusion! I am really glad to hear you enjoyed the Piattone's offerings as it does come with a lot to enjoy! Can't wait to serve you again!

    I was excited to try this place; however, I was disappointed with the Restaurant Week menu. The app and dessert courses were great. The main was very disappointing, especially for the price. I ordered the porchetta and it was served chopped up with nothing else. It was perhaps an app portion. I would have at least expected it on a sandwich. I left regretting I ordered this and wished I opted for the lasagna. Also, my server was a bit awkward. Needless to say, I believe the money I spent was not worth what I got.
    BettolaResponded on 20 November 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially with the porchetta. We strive to offer both quality and value, and it sounds like we missed the mark on that dish. I will be sure to review the preparation and presentation. I’m also sorry to hear that your service experience didn’t meet the standard we aim for. I’ll make sure to address this with our team to ensure that our guests feel more at ease during their visit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly next time so we can make sure your visit is exceptional. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.
