Some friends and I celebrated a significant life event with dinner at Bettola, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. We were immediately impressed by the blistered Brussels sprouts and bruschetta antipasti—both thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. Along with perfectly tailored wine recommendations from an experienced sommelier, our main courses and desserts reflected the same care and pride. The scallops, in particular, were perfectly tender with a lovely char. In its smoothness, balance of burned honey and spices, the honey cake rivaled any number of similar tortes served in remaining authentic kitchens of Vienna. It was clear that the chef takes great pride in her work, showcasing creativity and a commitment to stellar dining experiences. The servers were knowledgeable and seemed genuinely engaged and proud to represent the interpretations and creativity of the talented chef behind the dishes. I certainly look forward to returning.

Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this place is a small delight! Excellent service, atmosphere, drinks and, most importantly.. amazing FOOD. We went with the specials (short ribs and black cod) and we need to come back for the lasagna. We also had the Brussel sprouts (so tasty and crispy) and they also brought us fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic oil - classic and yummy. We ended up getting the highly recommended honey cake which was light and delicious - a great ending to a big meal.

This place was phenomenal! True hidden gem! We made reservations for a birthday and when we arrived there was a little chalkboard note that said Happy Birthday on the table. It was such a lovely touch! Everything we ordered was wonderful. The wait was very knowledgeable and anticipated our needs well. Highly recommend trying it all and any specials they recommend. Drinks were also delightful. This is truly a high quality restaurant that you don’t want to miss!!

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!!

Oh my Cod! Yes, cod because the black cod is amazing when they have it! Soooo glad to have stumbled on Bettola and can't recommend it enough! All the food is fresh and made to order. Have been a few times now and they never disappoint. Schafer (Tres) is the best! Such a great server and wonderful to talk to. Good selection of wine and great cocktails. Don't leave without trying the homemade lemon limoncello (lemon and/ or lime). They have easily become my favorite restaurant in the Denver area.
