The majority of the staff are professional and hardworking individuals. The food is phenomenal. Unfortunately, there are a couple of snowflakes that melt under any perceived slight. Can you guess the operative word? Cock-a-doodle-doo states Alice. Great and fast service. Never slow as one has incorrectly and fraudulently accused. Usually packed, rarely dead. Well, sometimes. But that's a dramatized and taboo subject, apparently. Unfortunately, humiliation is condoned ... But what's another Ash in the bucket. Darn, Mom misses this place, the veal parm, the chocolate cake. Dyslexia is about more than reversing letters. Thnik that about. Then the barber tosses the short hair under the bus. "No Apologies" accepted. read more

Bettola - Pink Sauce Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Second visit to Bettola. Rachel was our waitress both visits. She is very high energy without being 'in your face'. Nice, friendly, competent. We love her. A parking lot is located behind the restaurant. It can be tight for a large vehicle. Our first visit the snow had been shoveled around to the front entrance and they threw some sand down while we were inside. Street parking is also available. Seats by the door do get a blast of cold air when the door opens, so maybe bring a sweater if it's cold outside jic. Wait by the door to be seated. A mix of cushioned banquette/booth seating and chairs around wooden table tops or bar seating make up this cozy neighborhood spot. Separate menus for adult beverages and food were put on the table for us. A variety of beer, wine and house crafted cocktails with fun names are on offering from the bar. Last visit I ordered "Whiskey business". For my pallet it was too sweet, no whiskey taste. If you like sweet and worry about the whiskey taste, give that a try. Because of food sensitivities, I can eat limited food items on menu (not just here) so I stick to the Margarita pizza. The crust edge is nice and fluffy. I like the foldable consistency of the dough over all and it reheats beautifully in my skillet where it gets a nice crunchy crust. The sauce is a bit sweet (not overly so) had a bit of garlic (house smells yummy during reheat) and the amount of cheese just the right balance. For me, the more basil the better and this pie had a nice distribution. My dining companion ordered the Italian sub on the chili oil chiabatta. I am told it's quite a good sandwich and the chili oil is a nice addition to the bread. They do prefer a grinder roll over ciabatta, but still managed to scarf this sandwich down. We shared a Ceaser salad before our mains. The lettuce is fresh and lightly dressed with a sprinkling of grated cheese over top. Croutons are hard. One salad is enough for 3, maybe four, as a first course. Rachel kept our waters filled and checked in with us throughout our stay. Food is good quality and recipes tasty. Cocktails are good over all and they offer a nice variety of beer styles. I have yet to use the restroom here, but understand a diaper station is located there. The interior is cozy and casual. Good for a casual date night or family dinner out. read more

Bettola is a very enjoyable venue - clean and filled with great menu items. Service was wonderful. We have visited a number of times and decided to enjoy it once again for a very early dinner. We were comfortably seated at 4PM and were quite happy with the Fig and Prosciutto pizza - although in the past, it was topped with more arugula and larger pieces of prosciutto. My entree, Braised short rib was phenomenal and accompanied with a cheese risotto, broccoli rabe, and topped with a cherry demi glace. The other entree, Pasta BOLOGNESE was a traditional ragu of slow braised beef and veal, served with fresh rigatoni pasta, and shaved pecorino. It was very good but not as rich tasting as expected. No room for dessert but they did look fantastic! read more

Back again to say Evie is FANTASTIC! We love Bettola, but specifically come in just to hang out with our favorite bubbly bartender on Sundays. Of all the great things about this place, she is the BEST. We have been coming for over 2 years now, and the food is spectacular every time. Don't miss out on the weekend specials and the rotating beers on tap. read more

Bettola - Fig "N" A! - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Tucked away in Cranston's Rolfe Square, this neighborhood pizza emporium delivers on its promise of Italian comfort food. The Margherita pizza featured a Neapolitan-style crispy crust and a generous heap of melty mozzarella evenly distributed so you get cheese in just about every bite. I couldn't resist a third slice (despite being full from snitching a few gnocchis from my companion's plate and splitting a good size Caesar salad). Service was excellent. Pretty easy to become a regular here. The decor was fun--be sure to check out the wall art that explains the true meaning of Italian hand gestures! read more

If you haven't been here, you really are missing out! Of all of the Italian establishments in Rhode Island, this has been the best place we've been to, and there are A LOT!! Walking in, you feel like you're entering a friend's dining room. Intimate yet roomy with a most beautiful mural on the wall among other beautiful decor. The chairs and booths offered a comfy and cozy experience as well. MAKE SURE you check out the pizza oven! The staff is small but extremely efficient and very friendly, thank you Evie and Q, you made our stay very enjoyable!! Our drinks that we chose were a glass of Pinot Grigio and a local brew made in Wakefield, Rise APA. I had the wine but tasted the beer, mmmm it was very tasty! I'll be picking some of that up in the future! Maybe even go to the brewery to visit! Now to the food....very carefully prepared and seasoned. Starting with a loaf of hot loaf of bread with garlic butter and crushed red peppers sprinkled on top, it was delicious. As an appetizer we ordered the HONEY-WHISKEY BUFFALO jumbo wings. They were topped with Sesame seeds, shaved celery, and had a creamy herb-gorgonzola on the side, these were the best wings we've had in a very long time! Great job! I like to order entrées that I normally don't cook at home and ordered the braised short rib dinner. Cooked to perfection, it sat upon a mound of perfect cheese risotto and sautéed broccoli rabe, all finished with such a tasty cherry Demi glacé. My husband, who's very picky about his Italian food, ordered the ABE FROMAN. Fresh shell pasta, crumbled Italian sausage, broccoli rabe, cannellini beans, garlic, light tomato sauce, topped with shaved parmesan. He was VERY impressed and happy with his choice!! After all this we just couldn't resist dessert, but took it to go. A slice of chocolate cake and carrot cake, both of which I shamefully didn't get pictures of, were very good. I did however get pictures of the dessert case!! If you want the best Italian food and pizza, go to Bettola, Scituate in the middle of the state, it's not too fahhh for anyone in the state!! Enjoy when you do!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in RI. I love a good Neapolitan pizza and they do it so well. It's great for dining in takeout. The service is always excellent, and they have some really great dessert options. My go to is always the Margherita pizza With prosciutto and a big slice of the birthday cake. The Parmesan truffle fries are excellent and they have really high-quality wings. I love that they change their specials weekly and usually theme them including their cocktails. They have some of the best cocktails around. They are one of the few places that has lavender drinks and edible glitter, and it's just my absolute favorite all around. Five stars, highly recommended. read more

I first discovered bettola from a yelp elite event and since then I've frequently ventured back. Their pizza crust is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside to perfection. The toppings compliment each other well and it's easy to order something off the menu without customizing anything. This is likely one of my top places to eat outside of Providence proper. The service is consistently warm and I have always had some really good recommendations from the servers. The mood is cozy which perfectly works with the comforting flavors of pizza. read more

Everyone raves about Bettola Pizza like it's a religious experience, so we walked in expecting a slice of pure perfection. What we got? A good pizza--solid, well-made--but not the mind-blowing masterpiece we were led to believe. Maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe I've just had better. The crust was decent, the toppings fresh, but it didn't have that wow factor that makes you want to write poetry about melted cheese. It was the kind of pizza you'd happily eat, but not the kind you'd drive miles out of your way for. And the service? Oof. We waited and waited for someone to give us menus. Then we waited and waited for them to take our order. At one point, I started wondering if we had somehow become invisible. If the food had been amazing, maybe I'd overlook it--but with pizza this overhyped, slow service just made it all the more disappointing. Was it bad? Not at all. Overrated? Definitely. If you go in expecting greatness, you might leave thinking, Eh, it's fine... if you've got all day to wait for it. read more

Loved it! Came here because of the reviews and it delivered The service was fast and polite. The food was great. We split the arancini for an app. I had pecan salad that was the perfect size. And my companions split the spaghetti and meatballs Much better than the change we were going to go to! read more

only thing good about this place is the design and placemat. if you're gonna sell "pizza", it better taste better and different from digiorno... bolognese was awful. server sucked and didn't come back for anything; drinks sat empty since before we got entrees. save the money and preheat the oven to 425; you're better off going to the grocery store and making a pizza for one at home. read more

Bettola - Margherita Pizza, Fig 'N' A Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Take out and food was outstanding stuffed shells and meatball were great pizza is terrific

I've been to bettola several times and continue to go back not Judy for delicious comfort food but their service is excellent while maintaining a clean establishment that is very cool inside! They have a good size bar but the dinning area can fill up fast on busy nights! Very well known for their pizzas but also have a wide range of other delicious Italian options! The gold digger pie is my favorite signature pie they have to offer but I really enjoyed a classic pepperoni w/ fresh basil, ricotta, and hot honey.. so good!! The Caesar salad is delicious with homemade dressing and their fried mozzarella is a must as an app! Great spot for dinner and lunch! read more

Bettola has a great selection of delicious and interesting pizza. I've been a few times and the Marilyn Monroe and the San Gennarro stand out. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the Marilyn Monroe enough that we bought some of the hot honey topping to take home. This most recent trip I also tried the Arancini, which I thought were great. Very chewy and satisfying. The restaurant can be really busy and it's also a pretty family focused restaurant, so service can suffer a little. I think they generally have one or two servers working for the whole restaurant. The seating in the restaurant is really sturdy and comfortable. They generally have a TV or two on, which can be good or bad, depending what you're looking for. read more

Food was amazing. Server was accommodating and cheerful. Wine selection was not as good as the food, but adequate. We were a little anxious that we saw the food under the heat lamp for a full 5 minutes with no sign of a server to deliver it, but the first one who saw it delivered it immediately. My daughter RAVED about the stuffed gnocchi and my shortribs over Risotto was spectacular. Fell apart under the fork but not stringy at all. Chopped salad was crisp, fresh and delicious. Prices were surprisingly low for the quality and portions! The room was busy and full but we enjoyed a conversation with "inside voices" Took off half a star for the languishing entrees on the rail, but will definitely be back! read more

Honestly was very surprised by this place! Hard to find really solid food in this area coming from big metropolitan areas. But what a great place! Very hip and clean and modern. Staff are very nice. Highly recommend getting their pizza! I thought it was some of the best brick oven pizzas I've had in RI. I customized my pizza with vodka sauce and wild mushrooms and fresh mozzarella and it was delicious. My husband and brother shared the dinner for two because it was such a good deal. $30/pp to share the same choice of entree and appetizer but you can choose your own desserts. Highly recommend and would come back! read more

I was very excited to try this pizza, I was waiting to go with my family because it is supposed to be the best pizza in RI and they have gluten free which means my wife could actually eat some. They were out of gluten free pizza, the waitress was very short and unpleasant with us. She also had no recommendations for us about what pizza to try or any popular non-pizza options for gluten free dining when we asked... Thankfully the fries and pizza were very good and the ambiance is nice. I need to give them another try because it really is the customer service that is dragging down my review and maybe she was just having a bad day read more

I was a bit skeptical about order from Bettola. Being Italian I get a little fussy about sauce etc. I was surprised and pleased. Lasagna was like Mom's meatballs beyond delicious. Pizza was good but after I added 3 more toppings it came to $32.00 too much. Both offered wings I ordered were good, desserts good except one. All said, I will definitely order from Bettola again. read more

Recently brought a party of 4... including myself.. to BETTOLA to celebrate a friend's birthday ! What a SUCCESS! From the start, the waitstaff were engaging and helpful ! Our table location was just perfect! Drinks and appetizers were made available at a remarkable pace... no attention to detail was missed whatsoever!! Our lovely waitress, RAIN/REIGHN (sp?) was confident, attentive and professional! GREAT SERVICE! The manager, Ashley B. stopped by and welcomed me and my guests ... did we ever feel SPECIAL??? I'd say so!!! WOW! I was really pleased with the fine quality house wines offered. (Guests made sure to get the scoop: name bottle label) I ordered a NA Guinness 00 - which was appealingly presented and refreshing! Although a bit "thinner" than the real thing ... truly hit the spot! GREAT BEER. Delighted with our fresh Caesar salads & (homemade???)dressing! Entree's included ; Veal Smacks, Gold digger PIZZA, Short ribs, ALL were DELICIOUS! For Dessert, we shared the outstanding lemon-cello tiramisu ! --- and we're ecstatic about the celebratory CANDLE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY serenade! ‼ THANKS AGAIN for the TERRIFIC EVENING!! read more

Ordered a half pepperoni half meatball pizza. Not very complex. Went in and it wasn't ready. No problem I'll have a glass of wine at the bar while I wait. An hour goes by and I ask where is the pizza and they accuse me of being unreasonable. The front desk woman has no idea what to do. The manager comes up and she is incredibly difficult. I asked to have the pizza refunded and they did. But they would not give me the receipt until the police came is what they said. Awful awful awful service awful awful awful wait staff. I've been there many times. Had many nights there where I didn't have to worry about the staff harassing me the entire time I was there. Will never go back. The worst place in Cranston. read more

Bettola - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

If there was a way to deliver 6 stars - that still wouldn't be enough. First reason - Madison Second reason - Madison and the Third reason - Madison !! This beautiful young woman and proud mom is a funny - sarcastic - irreverent and the most caring bar keep you're ever going to come across. She is in tune with everyone at "her" bar. Takes you through the menu - and is never afraid to disturb your complacency having you try new things. I've directly witness her empowerment of doing the right thing while deeply caring for an individual. I won't go into the particulars but she is emotionally grounded and giving - knows her limits and is as honest as she can be about knowing you and life. She's that good. And Trust me - if you're there when she's working you're in for a treat. Now - it's about the food because it's always about the food - isn't it ?? Their take on pizza is my high water mark - I'm a wicked pizza snob and I know pizza. I compare every other place I go to - as to where they fall on my pizza spectrum. No one has yet to come close. The Sofia - Sandwiches and Salads are first rate and what's supposed to be cold is cold and what supposed to be burning hot is hot. They are a well oiled bunch of employees that take pride in their work and it shows. From the moment you walk in it's a Team approach. Yes - you can sit at the high tops but it's worth the wait if Madison's on to get the full floor show. She remembers everyone - drinks - happy orders and that look of "I know"! Bettola's is a true Rock Star - a gift to the West Bay and Cranston. Now we need the same on the East Bay !! Price point is exactly spot on. Never had a a challenge with on street Parking. Why are you still reading this ?? Get in your car and go - and enjoy. read more

Avoid this place at all cost. The waitress or the lady at the entrance is extremely rude and Racist. Our recent visit (8/16, Sat) to this establishment was unfortunately quite disappointing. Despite being seated, our table was left unattended for a significant period and we eventually left without ordering food. As visitors from New York, we were looking forward to a positive dining experience in Rhode Island, and this interaction unfortunately left a negative impression. AND she completely ruined our vacation to RI. Thank you very much. - Mike from New York City read more

One of my pizza spot and I always come back. But just my most recent visit the experience hasn't been all that pleasant compared to my other visits. Our food came out really slow and we only ordered two appetizers (wings and truffle fries) and a single pizza (the gold digger btw delicious). BUT... The utensil that was given to me were not properly cleaned which threw off my experience right off the bat. The fork that I was using had what looked like a piece of dirty rubber stuck on the underside and I didn't realized until I used it and felt a weird bump on the fork inside my mouth. Gross. read more
