Relatively new place, offshoot of Montesacro P, but different in terms of the type of food. Always qualitatively up to the previous one. Be careful though. If you are Italian, don't take the Neapolitan babà, which is a poor reinterpretation of the original. A second flaw: one of the waiters pushed us to choose numerous tastings, with the risk of the "mischione", so loved by natives. In my opinion, few courses are better so as not to confuse the palate. Prices in line with expensive San Francisco. The Piacenza area was a wonderful find for a solitaire.

Excellent food! Great service, the servers and hosts were so nice and accommodating. Great atmosphere, they played classic movies projected on the wall while and the vibes were excellent!

Couldn’t be more pleased they have joined the neighborhood. Stellar food, good service and a traditional Roman dining experience. Great work!

Love this cute little place! Warm Mediterranean atmosphere. We tried the pizza and some pasta and potato croquettes. Super yummy. A small mix up in the order resulted in this super delicious cauliflower dish on our table as well which they graciously gifted to us. Lovely place, lovely people. Give them a try.

Bettola is wonderful, it has the ambiance , the food, and the service. The Porchetta Panino is out of this world. I can not wait to come back and bring some friends.

A great neighborhood place for any occasion! A place I look forward to coming and enjoying good food and relaxing as well very much appreciate the team servicing us!
Third visit last night. The server had recommendations and we took all of them: meatballs and porchetta!, an amazing rice ball confection I’d never heard of, Gnocchi, the salad. Can’t recommend this place more enthusiastically.

We had a very negative and disappointing dining experience at Bettola, mainly because we were served raw chicken.
The server was welcoming at first but after we were brought our food, they never checked on us. It was difficult to get their attention since they were chatting with staff in the kitchen and on their phone. Finally, after they came to check on the party next to us, I was able to get their attention. I let them know that the chicken was not cooked properly, and they apologized and said they would ask their manager to take the plate off our check. After this, the server was rude for the remainder of the night. They snubbed us as we left, even though we said thank you.
I cook chicken multiple times a week and I know that bone-in chicken can appear pink/red but we tried the chicken and it tasted raw. My partner ordered the lasagna and pizza and both were lukewarm. The salad and bread were good though.
We were excited to try this place after reading positive reviews. The place and ambiance were pleasant but after the overall experience, we will not be returning nor be suggesting this place to anyone.

Their rotisserie pork was yummy! The skin is crispy, the meat is juicy with herb fragrance. The meatballs were soft and tasty, but the sauce was a bit too salty. The croquette was good. The drink was refreshing.
Great Italian sandwiches with the bread made in the house. The price is a fair price for the menu and the fact that the bread is made there and everything is so fresh.

What a charming new addition to the inner Richmond neighborhood! Where can you get a well done porchetta anywhere around here anymore?!
Came by in the mid afternoon when they were still serving their Paninis (from 11am-3pm) and of course had the porchetta sandwich served with mint and dijon on a what feels like a very authentic style of ciabatta bread. I can imagine it will make all the "best places to grab a sandwich" lists very soon.
The service was fine, seemed like a newer-to-the-industry service team for lunch but, as with any new opening, there are growing pains as they tighten things up.
The restaurant itself is charming and airy: it is a far better design and usage of the space than what came before it.
