The restaurant is extremely clean and the ambiance is extremely welcoming. Every time I visit the food & service are 5 stars. A must visit if you're in the RI area. read more

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

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

I stopped by Bettola this afternoon for a quick snack and a drink. I really wanted to like this place and they've been on my list of places to try for quite some time. The restaurant was practically empty the entire time I was there, and after what I witnessed, I unfortunately understand why. While seated at the bar, I watched the bartender pull out a small, filthy fish tank from near the register. She mentioned the fish's name was "Stephanie" and casually remarked that the tank was "looking pretty rough." What happened next was truly shocking. In all of my years working in the restaurant industry all across the country, I've never seen anything like it. She went into the kitchen, grabbed a stainless steel strainer, and dumped the entire contents of the aquarium into it. She rinsed the rocks, media and decorations in the strainer. She also placed the empty aquarium directly into the same dishwasher used for customer glassware. After that, she wiped up the spilled dirty aquarium water with a rag and then used that same rag to wipe down the rest of the area behind bar. She then returned the strainer to the kitchen! I took a video as evidence because it was such a shocking/bizarre occurrence that would otherwise be VERY hard to believe. I brought this to the manager, Ashley B.'s attention. I made it clear that I wasn't trying to start problems but that it's something that really needs to be addressed before somebody gets sick. Rather than taking my concern seriously, she responded with a smug attitude and claimed that the health department had approved of it last week. She insisted the dishwasher would "sanitize everything," so it was not a problem. Because of what I witnessed and how poorly management handled it, I cashed out and left. I initially intended on getting food to go for my husband and I but at that point, I didn't want to take any more risks. If this is how they handle cleanliness and food safety out in the open, I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes. I would strongly think twice before dining here - especially if you get sick easily or are immunocompromised. Safety precautions exist for a reason, and they are not something to take lightly. People can get seriously ill, and it is incredibly disappointing to see them dismiss such concerns so easily. This place has potential but what I saw today and how poorly the situation was handled is enough to make me never want to go 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

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

This was my third visit to Bettola. As always the staff is very friendly and attentive. Our waitress came to check on our party of 6 several times. This is small restaurant and has always been crowded. They do not take reservations so prepare to wait during busy times. It's worth the wait. I had the Bolognese and it did not disappoint. The pasta was cooked al dente which is the way it should be cooked. Having lived in Italy and experiencing the pasta there this brought back memories on how pasta is done. Too many Italian restaurants in America overcook their pasta, not this place. Well done Bettola. I can't wait to go back. This is quickly becoming my go to Italian restaurant. read more

Bettola - Bolognese and a nice glass of Chianti. - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

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

Bettola - service - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

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

Great food definitely the best pizza in the area, and the service is second to none especially Madison

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

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

We finally were able to get in here, and now we know why it had been impossible on any weekend for dinner! After waiting at the "Please wait to be seated" podium, we were noticed and seated. What a difference from not even being able to park around there on the weekends!! There is, however, a small parking lot behind the restaurant. We will be back here during the week for sure! We ordered a Margherita pizza and a meatball sandwich, called the Bambino. We also had water and a soda. The pizza was the best Italian pizza oven pizza around, and we've tried quite a few. Although it was thin and floppy at the center, the crust was light and airy. San Marzano tomatoes for the simple sauce and fresh mozzarella. Perfection! Delicious!! It was cooked perfectly! My husband thought the meatballs and sauce tasted very good. The roll looked like a ciabatta roll and he said it too, was very good.They use provolone on the meatballs, so it was a no try for me, but I was enjoying the pizza! It looks like I didn't get a good pic of the meatball sandwich. Sorry!! Melissa B took very good care of us. It is definitely a smaller place with a large bar and large brick oven taking up a lot of room. The tile on the floor and walls reminded me of my Nonna's home, giving me that warm feeling of back in the day! I could see into the kitchen from where I was sitting, and it looked clean. We will definitely be back here during the week. We can't wait to try some of the other choices the menu offers, other than pizza and sandwiches. If you plan to come on a weekend, you'd best call to see if they take reservations. read more

Great whether dine in or takeout. Highlights are margerita pizza and sophia eggplant sandwich.

My husband and I decided to try this place upon searching for good pizza in Cranston while our son and his friends played at Top Golf. So, so glad we did! Everything was perfect- the ambiance, the authentic Italian feel, the menu, the drinks, the service and the FOOD. We split the cherry pecan salad with arugula, goat cheese and a delicious maple dijon dressing. We each ordered a pizza - I got the Marilyn Monroe and my husband got the pepperoni. Truly Neapolitan style, both were delicious!! Delectable crust, sauce, high quality cheeses! We had plenty to take home because the food and flavors were so rich! I also got the Espresso martini- yummmm! We had the best service by Taylor. What a great meal out; we will definitely be back!! read more

Pizza crust is absolutely delicious. It picks up just enough of a wood smoke flavor from their wood fired oven. The margarita pizza is excellent, and the sausage and onion and or the veggie pizza are superb. Actually every pizza I've enjoyed at Bettola has been top shelf, the best pizza I've had in Rhode Island: the best. Wings were great too. Service is very attentive without being annoying, it seems just right The mixed drinks from the bar were well made, and there's enough variety in the beers to please most people read more

Consistent food, cozy atmosphere, & great team! Madison is the best! Highly recommend for takeout or dine in.

Absolutely delicious food. We enjoyed dinner on then patio- it is right next to the parking but it was a lovely night and the cars were not intrusive. Loved the pizza - excellent crust and a lovely fresh sauce, quality cheese too and not overdone. The staff was friendly and attentive. Wine list was somewhat short for a fancier Italian pls e but the cocktails were unique and delicious. Will go back 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

Bettola - The Gold Digger Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday, early afternoon. Chill vibe, hip decor, great soundtrack, and a sweet, helpful waitress. Pizzas were lit (marg and pepperoni); veal parm was crusty, tasty, flavorful; "Italian Job" sandwich was thick and tasty. House-made cannolis for dessert were amazing. All delicious from start to finish. Well worth it. Would return again and again. read more

I love Bettola! I've been several times. The menu consist of pizzas, pasta, wings, and other delicious comfort foods.

Bettola always has friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Looking for a place to eat dinner before a show at the Park Theater we found Bettola. It turned out to be perfect. We were pressed for time, but the staff seated us, took out order, expedited it and brought the food our table with plenty of time, all while being friendly and polite. The food was terrific too. Bettola acts like a pizza restaurant, but it has so much more, and it is good. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and a cozy bar. I am just sorry it is not in my neighborhood! read more

Madison is great! Food and service awesome as usual. Recommend the Sophia sandwich , Abe Forman, Goodfella, bang bang broccoli.

My husband & I haven't ordered from here in almost two years due to previous issues but thought we'd give them another try. Huge mistake. This place does not know how to make a pizza. We ordered the San Gennaro with a gluten free crust. This pizza used to be delicious. There were huge pieces of caramelized onions, huge balls of sausage that looked more like meatballs than sausage, raw garlic and barely any pepperdews. I'm still questioning if it was even sausage. The pizza was cut so poorly that each slice was a different size and there were only 7 slices instead of 8. We tried to cut it in the box and the crust was so difficult to cut, the pizza cutter cut through the box. The crust was so hard you could crack a tooth on it. The pizza was cold when he got back home and we live five minutes away. Clearly, it sat around and didn't take 25 minutes to make as stated when ordered. It was the worst pizza we've ever had and maybe the worst meal. We tried to eat 2 pieces each but the rest went in the trash. Also, when my husband picked up the pizza, the cashier was going to keep the change rather than handing it back. Not sure what's going on but it sounds like a poor business practice. This was a waste of money and ruined a nice evening. We will never go back. I would like to have given zero stars but that's not an option. read more

This is our go-to neighborhood restaurant. The food is fantastic and there's a lot to choose from! Our absolute favorite is the Marilyn pizza, but we've had so many other special pies and pasta dishes too. The wings are superbly tasty and cooked perfectly. My wife likes the mystery beer because it gives her a chance to try something that she wouldn't ordinarily pick. Great cocktails too! Service and ambiance is always on point. It's a great place to spend many a special occasion! read more
