    Went for Valentine’s Day party of 2. They had completely champagne, a special menu for the day. Service was very quick, was checked on multiple times. Food portions were very nice and big, everything tasted amazing.

    Always a pleasure to eat here. Better on weekends, as they apparently have the A team in the kitchen then. The chicken continues to be one of the best dishes with its combination of heat and sweet. Wait staff is typically attentive without hovering, and last night was no exception.

    You can always count on great food and great service at Bettolino. Even on Valentine’s Day! You would think that you would be rushed out of there like cattle however we had time to enjoy a drink and our dinner and had a very nice evening. We were worried about sitting on the patio because of the chilly evening, but their outdoor heaters worked very really well keeping us cozy.

    By far the best dining experience we’ve had in So Cal in a very long time. Our server treated us as if we were VIPs. Each menu item ordered tasted better than expected. The octopus starter, the crispy fingerlings, the Branzino and the chocolate pot de Creme were all show stoppers. Kudos to the chef and also management for keeping service quality very high. Will definitely be back.
