" I can't say enough great things about Bettola! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The ambiance is lively yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a dinner date. We ordered the burrata and it was divine—super creamy and fresh. The prosciutto e mascarpone pizza was the highlight of the evening, as the handmade crust paired perfectly with the toppings. Though it was busy, we never felt rushed. This will definitely be on our list for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night’s visit to Bettola was fantastic! We walked in without a reservation but were promptly seated. Our server was delightful and offered great wine recommendations. For starters, we had the calamari which tasted fresh and was not overly breaded—just how I like it. I ordered the Buccatini Carbonara and I can confidently say it was one of the best I've ever had! The balance of flavors was excellent. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a delightful dinner at Bettola, I can confidently say it is my new favorite place in Birmingham! My partner and I had the tiramisu for dessert, and it was the best I've ever tasted—light, rich, and perfectly sweet! The pizzas and house-made pasta were outstanding as well. A great experience from start to finish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Bettola was a lovely experience! I went with a group of friends, and we shared a lot of dishes. Everything from the calamari to the pizzas was well-prepared. However, the service felt a little off as we were left waiting at times. Overall a decent spot, but could have been better if the service matched the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my dining experience here! The setting had a comfortably rustic feel, great for evening chats over a glass of wine. I'd recommend the Margherita pizza—it's simple yet delicious. My only complaint was the wait time, which was longer than expected. However, the quality of the food made it worthwhile. The staff was friendly, so I’ll definitely return, perhaps on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at Bettola is commendable, with attentive staff who are eager to provide recommendations. However, the food did not meet my expectations. The pizza was slightly burnt, and the flavor profile was boring. I appreciate their efforts, but I think they need to tighten up the kitchen. I probably wouldn’t return unless I hear significant improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Did a birthday celebration here, and Bettola hit all the spots! The servers were incredibly sweet, and they brought out dessert with candles at the end of our meal unexpectedly. The lasagna was surreal, and it warmed my heart to see it made fresh. It's a great venue for gatherings, and I would highly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)
