The staff were so sweet with our kids and made them paper airplanes to play with. We had a group of 6 and we all loved our meals.

Excellent. Attentive waiter, good bread, great dishes, authentic regional dishes, even the house wine was great. This time I had salmon ravioli with a side of meatballs. The rav was aldenti, the salmon perfect, both smoked and fresh, the meatballs are pure heaven.

Food quality is average, more American-Italian than Italian food. Overpriced. The ambience is more similar to a fast food than an Italian restaurant.

Our waiter was nice. That was the highlight of dinner. Chef Boyardi would've been better.

Chill, surfer-town vibe with ocean breeze and outdoor seating

Went there for lunch to celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary. We hadn’t been in more than a year and forgot how awesome their cuisine is. Started with Spritz, Arancini which were the perfect size and flavor, and fried calamari and prawns. Arancini was equal to the ones I became addicted to in Palermo. Red dipping sauce was exceptional. The Paccheri with squid ink ragu was a top 5 seafood pasta I have had.. More than deserves the 4.7 rating in Google. Will be going back more often. Caution: their portions are generous.

Based on reviews, we expected a great culinary experience. At this price point, we were disappointed.

The gnocchi is SO INSANE. There were not many people there on a Friday evening and that was BAFFLING because the gnocchi was literally like the softest pillows

This ship is sinking fast.! Since the original chef owner sold this place, it's going downhill, quick. It's definitely not top quality anymore. The the owner Maria is buying everything from Walmart and Aldi's food stars. It's scary. All the food on the website is the original one owner Ettore!! His food cannot be duplicated. It's a shame. This was a really great place to eat. I mean I ment His food cannot be duplicated. It's a shame. This was a really great place to eat. I.

Everything about this place is wonderful and the deserts and seafood are top notch. Real authentic Italian food, fresh ingredients, so exquisitely delish! Service and atmosphere are fantastic. Santa Cruz is not well known for its gourmet or high quality cuisine but Bedda Mia is truly an exception!!

Service was pretty good (except bread wasn't brought until we asked about it after our meals were delivered). Hadn't tried Bedda Mia before and after checking out the menu were excited about returning many times in the future--despite the prices--to try more of the great offerings!
So very sad. Our experience today was an unexpected surprise, and not a good one.
Bread was decent but skimpy (and late).
My partner's meatballs were tasteless.
My gnocchi was gummy and tasted like uncooked flour.
The zucchini was mush.
The shrimp were overcooked and rubbery.
We were so very disappointed and won't be returning for any future visits.
We sincerely wish other diners better.
