   Love the food at Bettola. The lasagna is a favorite of ours as it is always outstanding. The rotisserie chicken and brussels sprouts were also delicious, the brussels were top-notch. The house wine is tasty, just like any standard restaurant in Europe. My partner and I love eating here.

   My expectations were too high from looking at the photos and reading the reviews. We expected a more special menu and festive ambiance for this last minute New Year's Eve dinner reservation. I made the reservation 1 hour before we went and had to guarantee the reservation with a credit card. The homemade bread was nothing special, just a few of hunks cut into random size pieces. The roasted cauliflower seemed more steamed with too much tomato sauce that had minimal flavor. I can't even remember the 3rd appetizer we ordered. Really wanted to like this place. It's probably better for lunch.

   Tried Bettola for the first time, for lunch with my Mom. We had a terrific experience. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the ambience cosy and informal. We felt like we were in Italy. The menu felt European - smaller number of carefully chosen dishes appropriate for the season, rather than the ‘every possible permutation of everything’ menus you often see here in the US. Even the coffee was top notch. We will visit again!

   Everything was fantastic. We split the tasting menu for two and sampled at least half the menu. It’s an amazing deal! My favorites were the porchetta and the roast chicken but everything was delicious and well made. I can’t wait to go back!

   Went on Christmas Eve for their prix fixe dinner. While the food was good, everything that should have been hot was served tepid and quickly turned cold, not good for the cannelloni (congealed bechamel sauce). At the end of our meal the server mentioned that the regular menu is much better, so I think we’ll give Bettola another try.

    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.
