" What a delightful experience at La Bettola Italiano! We were seated quickly and welcomed with warm bread and olive oil. Our appetizers were lovely—particularly the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful. For my main course, I enjoyed the chicken alfredo; it was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of seasoning. Dessert was tiramisu, and it was decadent. While we had to wait a bit longer for our entrees, the food was well worth it. A restaurant I would gladly revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become one of my favorites in the area! We came here for dinner, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. Their homemade bread is a must-try! I ordered the chicken florentine, while my friend enjoyed the seafood risotto. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, with plenty of flavors. Service could be a touch faster during peak hours, but it was manageable. Overall, a place I can't wait to return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" We found this hidden gem while exploring the area and decided to give it a shot. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making us feel at home. My husband ordered the Lobster Ravioli, and I went for the spaghetti with marinara. Both dishes were delicious, but I felt the marinara was a bit too sweet for my taste. The service, however, was stellar—our server checked on us just enough. We shared a tiramisu for dessert which was heavenly! Overall, a very nice dining experience, would recommend to friends visiting the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried La Bettola Italiano last night after a long day of touring DC. I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere and the delightful aroma of freshly baked bread that greeted us as we walked in. Service was prompt and friendly; our server made excellent recommendations. We started with bruschetta, which was vibrant and fresh. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, and it was among the best I've had—crispy on the outside and perfectly sauced. The homemade pasta paired with it was a real highlight! Prices were reasonable for the quality. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was a bit mixed. The atmosphere is cozy, and the bread served at the beginning was delicious. I felt the lasagna had great flavor, though the portion size was slightly smaller than I expected for the price. Service was caring but took longer than I would have liked on a busy night. The tiramisu dessert, however, was outstanding! I see potential in this restaurant and might give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place is quaint and cute, the staff was super friendly. I wasn't blown away by the food, but it was solid Italian fare for a casual evening. The portion sizes were just right, not too overwhelming. If you're in the neighborhood and want a comforting meal, La Bettola Italiano is a solid choice but manage your expectations if you're looking for something spectacular. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at La Bettola Italiano today and the experience was just wonderful! The ambiance is so charming, with rustic decorations that make you feel like you're in Italy. Their garlic bread is just divine—it’s perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with salmon, which was stunningly rich and creamy. My friend opted for the caprese salad, and it was just as fresh as you would expect. Overall, a delightful outing, and I would happily return for dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
