    I had reservations for my wife’s birthday. I thought the wait was longer than I preferred but the manager explained the process and why I had to wait a little, which helped a lot and I appreciated. Food was good but my server, (Ximena???) was stellar. She was very attentive to our refills and I requested my check so I think she assumed we had somewhere else to be (and she was correct). I saw her making a point to get our check despite it being busy. I deeply appreciated how much she helped. I hope I’m saying her name correctly because she helped make my wife’s bday an awesome experience. The chef was bomb too- we had Jesse.

    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.
