You must go. See Shafer and get the homemade limoncello, honey cake, and honestly any food. The bruschetta surprised me with how elevated it was. Excellent decision for your night out.

It was wonderful. The food was so scrumptious and well prepared. Our server warned us to order early and was super helpful so that all the dishes came out in a well-timed rhythm. He also clued us in to 1/2 price wine Wednesday. Everything we had was amazing. Highly recommend the lamb ragu, scallops, burratta, honey cake, and Gelato.

Very unassuming location but the food is absolutely INCREDIBLE and the service was great too! We had the beef lasagna (special of the evening), the shrimp scampi and honey cake with chocolate gelato for dessert. The shrimp scampi is probably the best I’ve ever had and will be needing to order it again. The sauce was so flavorful!!!! And the honey cake was sooo soft and fluffy and light, the perfect way to end the meal! We will be back!!

What an unexpected gem! Once you are seated, you will forget that you are in a strip mall on Illif. Food, service, atmosphere - absolutely 5 star.

What a great restaurant in a small location! I stopped in on a Friday evening -reservations are a must for Fri & Sat as the secret is getting out! Cozy lighting, 8-10 tables and mouth watering aroma made the barstool inviting. The staff was so professional and worked together to meet the needs of all diners. Ohh oh the food... !Best Ceasar Salad in Denver! Garlicky, fresh Shrimp Scampi on linguine. But the dessert... I love bread pudding and have been known to drive miles for a takeout. Best Ever. In a Cab Sav reduction w fresh berries. Try it!

I had pretty low expectations for this hole in the wall Italian restaurant at a strip mall in Aurora… but I was completely blown away!
The service was excellent and the food was INCREDIBLE! The dish with pasta and scallops had the most amazing sauce and the scallops were perfectly cooked. If it was socially acceptable I would have licked the bowl clean! The honey cake was delightful, definitely some honey flavor but not too sweet with a light texture. Will definitely be coming back!

This is not olive garden, if you are looking for real Italian food, come here, great intimate and intentional restaurant.
I have been dreaming of this place since my first visit. This is the BEST Italian food in all of Colorado. Everything about the experience was phenomenal. Schafer Pennington (sp) set the tone with his warm and welcoming energy. The food is phenomenal, you can definitely tell the ingredients are fresh and every dish is made to order. The lamb ragu has made it hard to eat Italian food anywhere else. I loved everything we tried but that is definitely a stand out dish. I could go on and on…but honestly, just go. Lol

On a recommendation by a friend, my wife and I tried Bettola Bistro last night for dinner. Everything was pretty much perfect. I had the scallops, they were terrific. My wife had crunchy eggplant – I didn’t now eggplant could be crunchy. Now I wish I had taken photos of our dinners. Oh, and get this, our appetizer was garnished with cherry tomatoes and little greens from their garden in front of the restaurant. Our total bill was very competitive with many other similar restaurants.
