Best quality to price restaurant in the South Bay! Super food - lots of diverse offerings, great cocktails, engaging service, light enough deserts to top everything off (or chocolate ones if you're feeling decadent :). Great for a date - take advantage of a photo-op in their photo booth on the way out.......love the Betto-box which is their lunch-time sampling of 4-dishes to try - yummy! Would be remiss not to note at least 4-seating options: Main restaurant, covered patio, bar, outdoor/sidewalk for the dog lovers out there.....and anywhere you are the service is great! The kind of place where servers, bartenders, host/hostess all share in the responsiblity to make you feel at home and help each other out as well..... Kudoos to everyone there! read more

Food was excellent! Focaccia bread and calamari to start with the Betto Spritz! Superb! And for the main course, I had the Halibut, might be one of my favorite meals of all times! read more

Food: my mom and I initially came here for the Betto Box, and honestly that's what I would recommend to first-time visitors. What I loved most was the variety it came with. Instead of committing to a single thing, you get to sample several different items, making it a great way to experience what Bettolino does well in one meal. (Of course their handmade pastas are amazing, and their soft bread is always served wam hehe) Everything felt fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully portioned. It's the kind of lunch that leaves you satisfied without being heavy. Price: Most of the handmade pastas range about $25-33, starters are generally $9-25, and entrées can reach into the $30-40 range depending on the dish. Lunch specials and combination options help keep costs a bit lower during the day. Overall, expect roughly $20-50 per person and more if you're adding appetizers, drinks, or desserts. Given the quality of the ingredients and house-made focus, the pricing feels fair. Ambiance: The restaurant has a warm, modern California-Italian atmosphere that's comfortable without being too formal/fancy. It works just as well for a casual lunch, date night, or dinner with friends. The space feels polished but approachable, which fits the South Bay vibe nicely. Service: Service was super friendly, attentive, and professional. Food came out at a steady pace, and staff did a good job making sure everything was taken care. Overall, a smooth dining experience. Parking: Parking is relatively easy, there's a private lot available, which takes away a lot of the stress that often comes with dining out in busy areas. read more

Bettolino Kitchen - Betto box - Italian Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

We ordered the Pistachio crusted Halibut and the Braised Short Ribs which both came with mascarpone mashed potatoes! The food was delicious; the fish was cooked to perfection as well as the short rib and mashed potatoes are pretty much delicious most anywhere you go. The service this visit was a bit slow even though they stated to us before we sat down that we'd have a 2 hour limit to our reservation. Granted it was quite a busy day as well. The ambiance is nice pretty lowkey but I find when it's more crowded it can get a little loud. I don't mind it much though. Parking is pretty easy to find in the village but you might not always get front row! read more

This incredible place has earned every. Single. One. Of its 5 stars. From the comfortable decor, to the fantastic service, to the stunningly tasty dishes that all combine to make it worth the flight to be here. Start off with the focaccia bread. It is everything your mouth doesn't know it needs in this life. Seriously. These are pillows of heaven brushed with just the right amount of salt and rosemary. Though I asked for herb oil and balsamic, truly, it didn't need it at all. Enjoy it hot and soft, but resist eating it all, because you're going to want to save room for your meal (and the sauces!) Enjoyed the California Casarece. Talk about a masterpiece! If food is art, then the chef here is Michelangelo! Y'all- the pairing of spicy cilantro pesto with the fresh pasta and grilled onions and red peppers is something I'll be thinking about the entire flight home. The perfectly grilled chicken was cut to the same size/shape as the casarece making for a perfect mouthfeel. You can tell that there was care and thought in the creation of this dish. My deepest compliments to the chef! I hope you saved some of that focaccia- dipping those little pillows of heaven into the remaining sauce will keep you from licking the dish because you're going to want to, believe me! My server, Danya. Truly she made it feel like we could be friends if I lived in town! So knowledgeable about the menu, the history of the restaurant. Balancing professionalism and hospitality with grace. (And a thank you, Danya, for the sweet treat at the end- wish I had had more room to enjoy it!) Eat here. If you're local, eat here OFTEN. And save me a seat for the next time I'm in town b/c I'll be back here every time for sure! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here. I came into Redondo Beach for a quick R&R getaway and knew I had to come back to Bettolino for their fresh pasta. I ordered the Sorrentini--tagliatelle with scallops in a lemon sauce--and it was absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfect, the scallops were cooked just right, and the light sauce with arugula and burrata tied everything together beautifully. I cleaned my plate. I was too full for dessert, so I ordered the bread pudding to go and enjoyed it later on my hotel balcony. The orange elder blossom cocktail was also refreshing and bright. My server, Sandy, was friendly, attentive, and made this a really lovely solo dining experience. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Really yummy food, beautiful ambiance and great service. We came here for a brunch and it wasn't crowded at all. Really easy parking out front too which is nice. They give you bread and olive oil after being seated and it was warm and super delicious. I ordered the Farrata salad without the burrata (I'm lactose intolerant and can't have cheese.) I got it with shrimp added. It was super delicious! The perfect salad... healthy ingredients yet it's also warm and comforting from the farro and quinoa. The flavors are great. I would definitely get this again! The shrimp was good but pretty plain, so I'd be curious to try it with another protein or just getting it without any would be fine too. I also got a cappuccino with almond milk which was good too, and it was topped with a cute B for the restaurant but it was also perfect for me because of my name :) Great meal here! Clean restaurant and really nicely decorated. We were in the outdoor patio which felt very Grecian with its decor. read more

Bettolino Kitchen is one of those spots you almost want to keep to yourself--definitely feels like a true hidden secret in Redondo Beach. The modern rustic ambiance strikes that perfect balance between cozy and elevated, making it just as good for a casual night out as it is for something a bit more special. What really stands out is the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and impressively quick without making the experience feel rushed. It's clear they take pride in what they do. As for the food, everything we tried delivered. The Gemelli was rich, creamy, and hearty--exactly the kind of comforting dish you want to keep coming back for. And the branzino? Cooked to perfection with a delicate texture and great flavor. Calamari came out lightly battered and crispy (no grease overload), and the Caesar salad was fresh and well-balanced. All around, a solid experience that makes you understand why locals keep coming back. Bettolino Kitchen nails the combination of great atmosphere, excellent service, and solid, satisfying food. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Excellent Italian restaurant with top notch service, nice ambiance, and yummy food. Two friends recommended this restaurant and I finally had a chance to try it out. Located in a strip mall with it's own private free parking next to Vons. It has plenty of indoor seating as well as a covered patio that also has heaters for the winter. There's also a private room available for a party. The complimentary photo booth near the entrance is a great idea. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. Our waiter, Richard, is the best. He's very courteous and friendly. The menu has lots of yummy options. They can also make it gluten free. They start off with complimentary bread and olive oil, which is good. The Brasato short ribs is a must! It was so tender and juicy. The meat just fell off the bone. The Rigatoni al pesto is an excellent choice. Perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. For dessert, the lemon cake is delicious and the Budino de pane is even better... Strongly recommend. read more

My experience here was extremely disappointing. From the moment we sat down, the service was poor. We asked for the house bread early in our meal, but it never arrived. It wasn't until we finished our appetizer, meal, and drinks that someone finally brought it out, which completely defeated the purpose. What made the experience even worse was the way we were treated compared to other customers. The interaction left me feeling singled out and, honestly, I walked away feeling like I had been racially profiled. Whether that was the intent or not, that's how the service came across. Good service is about making every guest feel welcomed and valued, and unfortunately that wasn't my experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because no customer should leave feeling ignored or uncomfortable. We won't be returning. read more

I originally planned to visit for their Monday date night special but ended up stopping by on a Friday instead. The experience was enjoyable overall, despite a slow start. While the host was too busy to greet us, the busgirl was quick to notice and got us to a table, and our waiter was very friendly throughout the night. The Pear Necessities cocktail and Calamari were a perfect start. The Brasato was the highlight--everything on the plate worked perfectly. The Branzino was fresh but unfortunately lacked flavor and needed a sauce. We finished with the Budino Di Pane and gelato, which were both perfectly balanced. read more

We had such a wonderful meal the first visit, Jane selected Bettolino Kitchen for her birthday dinner. Turned out to be a great call. Our hostess set us up in a spacious both, complete with a Happy Birthday sign on the table. We were served by Monty who was superb. Started with a bottle of Cuvée which was reasonably priced. After working on a first glass, Monty took our appetizer order. Forget the name of the dish, but they were delicious crab puffs. Next up, we tried their salad with arugula and other nice ingredients. Again, delicious. Both of our entrees were outstanding. The pacing of the meal was leisurely which allowed us to savor the food and enjoy the evening. Because it was Jane's birthday, she was treated to a dessert. I tried their after dinner drink that was coffee and vodka with other ingredients blended in. Perfect! Not only will we be back, we're bringing friends the next time. Cheers! read more

It was my husband & my first date night in a long time and we chose to try a new place, which we all know can go 50/50. Well, we started off the with Farrah's salad and it was absolutely delicious. We then ordered some warm focaccia bread, the eggplant and the braised short rib as our main plates. Being a vegetarian it can be hard to find a good dish many places, but I was beyond happy with my choices, and my husband said the short rib was also great. Between the atmosphere, the server Monte who deserves a 5 star himself- from his greeting to explaining the menu and his whole vibe that right there is exactly what brings people back somewhere and the attention to plating details- it made our day. Overall, an amazing spot and we look forward to our next visit. read more

Bettolino Kitchen - Pasta Cake - Italian Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

We made reservations for our family a few weeks ago to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, there was a complimentary Photo Booth at the entrance. It was fun to take photos and have them sent to our emails. During Happy Hour, drinks and appetizers were $3 off. We enjoyed the calamari and the cocktails. Our table ordered a variety of entrees and beverages. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Only downer was when we brought a small cake and asked our waiter to hold it for us. He said it would be a $20 cake fee. He did not cut the cake and only provided plates at the end of the meal. Guess I should have asked ahead of time if there was a cake fee. Some restaurants offer a dessert to the person celebrating their birthday, but none was offered. The restaurant was busy by the time we left before 6:30. Glad we got to try them. Rounding up to 4 stars. read more

Our server Rich did not offer to box Our leftovers rather he brought the box and asked that we do it ourselves, which I've never had that experience before. My wife subsequently spilled it on her clothing. My wife and I eat out frequently and having the server tell us to box our own food has never happened before and it's unacceptable. read more

Bettolino is such a gem in the Riviera. The food is consistently amazing, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elevated and comfortable neighborhood dining. It feels special enough for a girls' night out, yet welcoming and relaxed enough to bring the whole family. I've visited for both a fun night out with friends and family dinners with my kids, and both experiences have been equally fantastic. The service is always warm and attentive, the food never disappoints, and the overall vibe keeps us coming back. read more

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay! Handmade and fresh pasta?! How can you beat that. I keep going back and I honestly eventually want to try each pasta dish. The GNOCCHI CON TARTUFO is by far one of my favorites. The truffle isn't too overpowering and everything is light. The pasta cake is so unique!!!! Would definitely recommend because the texture was so soft and fluffy but chewy at the same time. It wasn't too sweet and honestly the perfect size for two people to share after both eating pasta lol. Service is amazing, staff are always so friendly. They also give fresh bread out and make sure you're doing great. Ambiance is nice, dog friendly outdoor area. There are those space heaters as well. There is a big parking lot that gets busy and street parking. I would recommend making a reservation unless if you're okay waiting a little for a table. You can walk up and eat at the bar too. read more

My family and I visited Bettolino Kitchen for a joint birthday dinner for myself and my dad. I chose the restaurant because of all the positive Yelp reviews, particularly for a great place to celebrate a birthday. We made a reservation in advance and mentioned that we were celebrating two birthdays. Our server was friendly and wished me a happy birthday when she checked my ID. I shared that it was also my dad's birthday and that we were out to dinner to celebrate. We started off with delicious complimentary bread with olive oil and herbs. For appetizers, we ordered the gnocchi fritti which I really enjoyed. Loved the texture of the gnocchi with a hint of cheesiness. The brussels and balsamic appetizer was just okay--needed a bit more flavor or something to make it stand out. I got their version of a Moscow Mule (Mule 310), which was light. The pear puree flavor didn't really come out through, but the drink was refreshing. For my main, I got the pistachio-crusted halibut. I really enjoyed the flavor of the fish with the pistachio coating and mashed potato base. It was a really solid dish. I also got the gemelli rafano, their short rib pasta. This dish would have been an absolute hit, but the pasta was way too al dente to the point of being undercooked. I ended up taking it home and heating it up to cook it through a bit more. One of my family members got the salmon and everyone agreed that that was probably the best dish. For dessert, we ordered their flourless chocolate cake to share. It was just okay honestly. The vanilla ice cream was heavy on the vanilla extract so left me with an artificial taste. The thing that really disappointed me was that they didn't do anything special for our two birthdays. I understand that not every restaurant does complimentary desserts which is fine, but not even a candle so that we could sing happy birthday. Kind of disappointing to spend around $400 on a restaurant and leave feeling like you didn't even celebrate your special occasion. read more

Love the Carbonara Pasta -generous portion of Shrimp. Peach and Strawberry Mocktail was ok, too tart and could not really taste the fruit flavors. Our server was nice enough to give us simple syrup for more sweet taste but honestly it didn't help that much . Will definitely come back because pasta itself was delicious. #BuzzyBooth #BettolinoKitchen read more

I came here for my birthday, and I must say the service and food were amazing! The ambiance was great, and there's plenty of parking out front with outdoor seating options as well (heaters available). Before we get into the food, I have to say thanks for the cute little birthday sign on my table! So many restaurants will ask if there's a special occasion, and then do nothing to actually acknowledge said occasion. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. For my started, I had the calamari. Perfectly fried, and I loved the fried lemon slices! For my main entree, I had the PESCE AL PISTACHIO, and each bite was delectable! It looks a little like the branzino dish if you aren't careful, but 100% delicious! I loved every bite! The halibut was perfectly prepared (not overdone THANK YOU) and the lemon pesto sauce was a party in my mouth! I had chocolate cake for my birthday dessert (TORTA DI CIOCCOLATO) and took home the cannoli cheesecake. The cheesecake blew me away! Thanks for a great birthday dinner, and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area anytime soon! read more

It's always fun to visit the BuzzyBooth after dinner or even if waiting a few minutes beforehand. The food is always so good. We order the Tortellini Al Lemone every time and split it between my husband and I; oh the sauce!. Our main dishes were so so good, as expected. I think the waiting staff needs to write down the orders because they maybe look a little more "on top of it" by not writing down the order, but before the main dish, the main dishes and even the desserts there were missing items that we had to ask for. The white stuff was really down to earth and friendly and they did end up comping us one of the items that didn't come out until way later. read more

I'm a huge fan of Bettolino Kitchen! We got the focaccia as an appetizer, it was really good dipped in the olive oil and by itself.

We came for an anniversary dinner. The service was decent and friendly. The interior was a lot more casual than anticipated with the upscale sell of this space and prices.

Been meaning to write a review for some time. This is a great local restaurant for date nights or even a family dinner. Very cute, cozy and quaint family own business. Service is great here, never had a bad service, very attentive. Food is amazing here, never had anything bad here. What I really like is their children's menu, finally a restaurant that doesn't just have your typical American food like chicken tenders, pizza, grill cheese, hotdogs or hamburgers. They actually have mini adult portions for the kids like Salmon, veggies, pasta, and fruits, for desserts fruits with chocolate drizzle. Something I would eat. What I do love is that they had gluten free Wednesday but it is no longer part of their menu. I will say, they made one of the best gluten free pastas I have ever had! But, the good thing for gluten intolerant people, they use imported Italian flour (for gluten intolerant people you can eat this without any issues! Just the pasta thou!). Food: *WATERMELON PANZANELLA - it was good.. *CALAMARI CON GAMBERI-very good *DEL MARE-homemade pasta, delicious! * PESCE AL PISTACHIO- it's a hearty fish dish, husband said it was really good *bambino's (baby/child menu) - my kid loves this, usually does not like to order under children's menu. Salmon, asparagus, pasta and fruits drizzled with chocolate syrup. Dessert- *SALTED CARAMEL SEMIFREDDO-nothing like I have had before. Very addictive and unique. Must have. Cocktail: Aspen Vodka martini and limoncello summer drink. Will be get back soon. read more
