All the food was good. I especially loved the lasagna and crab cake. This will be my option for Italian food when I am back to Torrance again.

We ABSOLUTELY love this place. My boyfriend and I’s go to date night spot. The food is amazing and the service is even better. Every item we have tried is delicious. We previously went on Saturday, which was very busy but the service was phenomenal. John, our server was incredible! We will most definitely be back.

Outstanding calamari sauce was incredible. I tried gnocchi which was also delishious. I loved sitting outside nice, comfortable, quiet and tower heaters made it feel just right. Save room for desert we were to full.

December 2023: I recently came here to celebrate my birthday for lunch! Chad was our server who was so kind, attentive, and professional. We both ordered the Betto Box because we enjoy what the chef creates and prepares! This time it contained a wonderful mushroom soup, salad, halibut our couscous and a penne pesto with asparagus! We savored each dish and love it. I always enjoy coming here!Great service. Very tasty food! See my photos! July 2023 It's been too long since my last visit!!! My friend and I both ordered the Betto Box which the Chef's Choice of four different items. Today choice was ahhhhmazing!!! Main course: grilled salmon over mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked and tasty. Soup: butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, oh my! This was sooooooooooo flavorful! Salad: watermelon, feta over baby greens. I loved this too! Pasta: pesto sauce with panchetta over twisted noodles. I really loved this too! We also had warm bread with the olive oil balsamic vinegar herb dipping sauce. I would have ordered another round of this delicious Betto Box but I was full. We ordered dessert too! They were nice and not too sweet! Thank you Bettolino Kitchen!

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.

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.

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! 💜

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my family here. We had the calamari, carbonara, gnocchi, the squid ink pasta, the cannoli cheesecake, and lastly, the semifreddo. We enjoyed all of the food, but the food that stood out the most for us was the calamari, especially when paired with the lemon aioli. The service was great as well. Freddy was a fantastic server, though everyone we interacted with was fantastic. If I lived here, I'd go at least once a week, just trying all of the different food and daily specials.

This place is very nice, but it seems they have some obsession with beans. Every single dish we ordered had beans in one form or another. The food was good, though, and it was possible to avoid the beans in most dishes, so they weren’t that much of a problem really. The service is fantastic, and the waiters are very attentive and friendly. Very nice booths with comfortable seating and private atmosphere.

This is a surprising great plan in a slightly off the beaten path location. Great food and service, and good wine options. Some say it is the best Italian in the area, but that’s just what HenryJ says, so you will have to go see for yourself! We just came back and had an amazing Tagliatelle Bolognese. The calamari con gamberi was also fantastic. If you like a good red wine try the Zach Brown cab. VictorB

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! My husband took me to this for a date night on Monday. It was great experience! The food is delicious! The stuff is polite and nice! Restaurant is very cozy and clean. We ordered a lot of food! My favorite was octopus (honestly, the best I ever had, so tender) and semifreddo! We also had tree different pasta and short rib! They make their pasta in house, which is very important for me! I definitely recommend this place!

Love the new outdoor space. Food is A+ and so are the cocktails. Great for any and all occasions. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite spots in the Riviera! Menu is well-priced and has many options, with a phenomenal happy hour menu and daily specials/deals (date night on Monday!). Love that the restaurant also does community events such as Toy Drives and Blood Donations 🫶

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.

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.

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.

Late Wednesday was our best time at this place so far around 8:30 pm . Manager host was nice only few tables and according to him it’s the calm after the storm & lucky us . Our server Sandy was amazingly pleasant and professional . Food was perfect this time around from appetizers to main course. Wine was fine but the only downside and waste of $$$ was the Burbon Fig ( I love figs btw ) cocktail! Too sweet and taste more like an ethnic profile hardly a taste of Burbon . It was my fault not saying anything about it I’m sure they would have made it better for me again or replaced , it was late and about to close . The three stars are for the drink , the food is a 4 stars .

Usually pretty good - maybe everyone’s having a bad day - the onion soup had zero flavor- dinner bento box was a disappointment- waitress had. Very bad attitude- gonna take them off our list for a while -

It has taken me a year to come here and leave this review. This restaurant has been my husband and I neighborhood restaurant where we have dined every weekend for seven years straight. About one year back, we went to dine as usual, we have gotten to know the staff but that night, the waitress that waited on us seemed new. She took our orders and was very pleasant. Minutes later she comes back rushing, sits on one of the chairs in our table, and says to my husband: “I am so relieved, the kitchen staff informed me that you have a twin brother and it is your twin brother that has been brining all these women to dine here” my husband responds I don’t have a twin brother, she then laughs and says ops maybe I am mistaken you with someone that looks like you. She returns to the kitchen giggling. Of course that incident caused an unpleasant night for us. The next day we when back and each individually addressed management. My husband demanded to speak to the owner. The response we got was that he waitress is known for such pranks but that they will be speaking to her about the pranks. We have not stepped foot there again. The incident reflected an unsafe and an unprofessional place. The response also reflected lack of appreciation for repeated customers. The prank or whatever that was, was extremely unprofessional and ill minded. If it was truly a prank then it shows the level of professionalism the staff carry around and the lack of respect they have for their customers, and if it was a mistaken identity it also shows lack of professionalism. The response from the owner was possibly as bad as the act of his staff. Calling a very disturbing incident a prank adds insult to injury. I hope they have put better policies and work manuals in place that will protect their customers.
