Bettolino Kitchen - Authentic Italian Dining in Redondo Beach, CA

If you are looking for authentic Italian food, ciao ciao. This place is fusion Italian so if you're looking for something that is very Italian authentic, you'll be disappointed. Al dente pasta was surprisingly well presented! But not like Italian authentic pasta, it was a bit salty. (Authentic Italian food is very plain) Del mare, which is linguine pasta with lobster, halibut, shrimp, scallops and more... was good but a bit salty. Maybe because we just came from Italy, American food is bit salty. Betto box, which is chef's choice of 4 was good. Glass of Montepulchiano was good as well. Good vibe and friendly staffs.

Top shelf service, excellent food and an all around great meal out. I can think of enough positive things to add here, except that I would dine here again anytime. Best be early and have a reservation. Highly recommend.

I recently dined at Bettolino Kitchen for the first time since it originally opened, and I honestly don’t know why I waited so long to return. Boy howdy, both the food and the overall dining experience have seriously elevated. The pasta was extremely delicious, and every appetizer we tried hit the mark, thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can feel the refinement in the menu and execution without it feeling fussy. I’m already looking forward to going back and working my way through more of the menu—a fantastic rediscovery.

This review is long overdue, but I cannot recommend Bettolino Kitchen enough. It’s a gem of the South Bay, and we’re lucky to have it. Every time I’ve dined there, the service has been distinctly more friendly than other restaurants I’ve dined at. The servers treat the patrons with respect and kindness. Most recently, I hosted my child’s first birthday there. The restaurant was very accommodating from the menu selections to seating arrangements. For the quality of the food, ambience, and service we get to enjoy, the price is good in my opinion as well. My guests all loved each dish, and I personally love the complimentary bread and dipping oil they serve - can’t get enough of it! I want to especially thank Ray, Cici and Chad for serving us that day and Roman, Sonia and Briana for coordinating with me until the day of the event. Everyone I worked with was professional and kind, and Bettolino is bookmarked for my future events.

Excellent from the moment we walked in. It’s the real deal. Service —- excellent recommendations. There were 4 of us. I had lasagna…it was legit. Over the top! Everyone else was also thrilled with their choices. Dessert…get the graham with the salty caramel. You’ll thank me. The homemade limoncello…a MUST! Loved the conversations & history with everyone we encountered. Wish we went here earlier in our vacation. All four of us were grateful. Legit Italian!

We have enjoyed dining at Bettolino for both lunch and dinner.. all the courses are excellent. The fish was just as great as their pastas. They also offer some hearty choices with red meat. Whatever you choose the food is all made with care and the flavors are mainly simple but oh so good. Nothing here is too complicated or trendy, the type of dishes that I will still want to order years from now. The service is top notch and the interior is a beautiful space for any occasion, elegantly understated and just the right upscale but still inviting balance. Everything here is comfortable, welcoming, and you leave extremely happy you came in.

A perfect dining experience at this restaurant. The service were so good and we were so lucky that we went there on Thursday. Free 1 bottle corkage. The olive oil with herbs for the bread is a hidden gem. We have fish and pork for main and both were so good. 100% recommended this place.

Date night out for my partner's birthday! The food was excellent! Our server was sweet but professional and knew the menu well! It was a Monday night and that is "Date Night" there (I had no idea) so it was $75 for our appetizer, both entree's (we chose higher priced items so it wasn't the typical $65)!!! Incredible deal! Again, the food was sooooooooo good! The fresh bread before our appetizer came out was delightful, our appetizer (CARCIOFI PESTO) was scrumptious! We did like eating it with the fresh bread moreso than the bread that came with it (the crunch was nice but it was difficult to dip and eat the appetizer with the thin crispy bread with so many big holes in it). Our entree's were the Brasato (so tender and flavorful) and Capesante di Aragosta. The scallops were ok -they were seared and had a great texture with minimal seasoning- and the seafood bisque was made with lobster which was scrumptious!!!! Our desert was good too! Definitely recommend!!! The photo booth was a fun extra as well!!! The ONLY thing I'd love to be different would be for seating to allow for more privacy. Each team member seemed genuinely to want us to have a good experience and we're all very kind and interactive.
