Yaaasssssss! I'm so glad we decided to come here. For starters, they have indoor and outdoor seating. So, sometimes having that option is nice. It wasn't crowded, about 5 or 6 tables were sat and we were greeted immediately. Got drinks & everythanggg. Okay, so the menu flat out rocks! There is variety, it's reasonably priced. You can have soup, salad, sandwhiches, pasta, steak, seafood, rice, mashed potatoes... I mean, I can go on & on. Don't get me started on the kickers dessert menu. At least 10-12 delicious options. I will be coming back here and I will be getting all this yumminess again! read more

BRAVO BETTO! We live close to the Historic Downtown Morgan Hill. Over the years we have been very impressed with the increase in good quality (non-franchised) family owned restaurants that have opened in the historic downtown area on Monterey Rd. We've always liked Ricatoni's as a good lunch/dinner diner that specialized in Italian fare, prepared by the young chef/owner Betto. Ricatoni's used to look like a friendly little coffee shop with red checkered table clothes that served good Italian food. Now Betto has completely remodeled his restaurant and renamed it "BETTO'S BISTRO", of course! New tables, chairs, paint, pictures and even shiny new flatware. Alfresco sidewalk dining is popular on nice days when we want to bring our dog. They even remodeled the banquet room. We poked our head in the kitchen and complimented (the always friendly) Betto, the smiling young chef/owner on all the great improvements and he smiled and said he's not done yet. It's good to see that downtown Morgan Hill is attracting more young talented restaurateurs. This Sunday we tried Betto's new brunch and was quiet impressed with the new look and menu choices. All Brunch items were only $12.99 for a wide variety of brunch favorites or there are lots of ala carte selections. I tried the bacon wrapped filet. The bacon wrapped 5 oz. filet was perfectly trimmed and grilled to tender medium rare, presented with 2 perfect eggs, crisp hash potatoes and fresh fruit compote. Service was "spot on" with the prompt 2 minute check-back, non-stop lemon-wedged water and coffee refills. Good food, good service and good prices... Good job Betto! Our other local favorites in town are Ladera's Steak & Chop House and Creasians Shusi on Main St. NOTE: Morgan Hill still needs a Chinese restaurant that has GOOD chow mien.

Food, great. Area. Good to great. Service. Naw. Please. Either train your servers better or have more of them. When you do one thing at a time as a server, you're a liability. One set of drinks. One roll up. One order. One plate clear. Please fix this. Your food is awesome. Your service is lacking. read more

Brunch review! Brunch on a Saturday with beautiful weather. We sat outside and enjoyed people watching. We got blasted by Harleys from time to time; lots of bikers out enjoying the weather, and I was enjoying checking out their bikes (which were gorgeous). There were also interesting classic cars and lowriders sliding by periodically. Great eye candy for motorheads around there on a beautiful day like today! Firstly... the brunch menu is not in any way "Italian"... lol. The menu is pretty classic American with some French and British influence from what I could tell. Perhaps they offer Italian for dinner, not sure. Minuses: - 2 of the 4 sides were not what we ordered. Minus one star. We didn't send them back because they looked good anyway. One was supposed to be sliced tomatoes and was waffles. One was supposed to be fruit and was a crepe. But anyway they were pretty good. - The flavors were on the bland side for my meal, the chicken and waffles. Minus one star. Not bad really, just not memorable. Personally I think they should work on livening up the flavors a bit. The gravy on the chicken and waffles was... bland. It didn't really taste like anything, which is actually quite mysterious when you think about it. Actually the chicken was the same... I don't think it was seasoned. I think Yelp's 3* description "A-OK" is pretty much right on for this. Plusses: + Good value ($13 for a breakfast plate that includes 2 sides) + Friendly service + Nice atmosphere + Clean + Excellent presentation. The food looks really good on the plate. + The bacon was crunchy but not overcooked. I would return... but I would check out the other breakfast / brunch places in town first. read more

Had reservations for 3 for outdoor table since we had our dog with us. Went into the restaurant to let check in for our reservation. The person pointed us to a table outside as she went to get the menus. We waited by the table she pointed us to when 2 people sat down. When the server/host came out, she said that she put seat is in a different table and pointed at a small table for 2 and said she would add another chair, which would have blocked the walkway. I asked her what happened to our table that she initially directed us to and she told us that we had to take the small table since she has a bigger party (no reservations). We ended up leaving and went to another restaurant. She could have at least apologize for giving our table to someone else. read more

By far the worst Italian food, correction food I've had in a long time. How do serve chicken parm with no chicken??!! It was a super thin greasy oily breaded nothing. Not an ounce of chicken. The sauce definitely came from a jar. My wife's veggie burger tasted like it was a frozen unseasoned patty. Will never order from here again. read more

Tried this place for the first time with my wife and daughter. I had the jalapeño chicken sandwich w/a Arnold Palmer ice tea. It was delicious but I think the chicken breast was just a bit dry. So maybe make some adjustments there. BUT I must say...when I tried their dessert menu, I picked the peach cobbler. Oh boy! Now that was good! It had a crust with some crushed walnut sprinkled on top along with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream & slivers of strawberries. Portion was pretty big in my opinion. Overall service was good, atmosphere was clean. I watched the servers interact with the customers very well. Ours was awesome. We will definitely come back because there were other food items, on the menu, that sounded delicious and of course coming back for that peach cobbler! read more

Great food, great attitude, and great service. I had the BLT burger with a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were both phenomenal. The burger patty was cooked to a perfect medium which is what I asked for, and the mashed potatoes were clearly made fresh and tasted great! Being a potato lover I'm often unnecessarily judgmental of anything potato related but I had no problem falling in love with their garlic mashed I potatoes and honestly made me wish I lived close enough to them to become a regular. The interior is clean and pretty classy. The place gave off good vibes and I felt comfortable eating there as soon as I walked in. They sat us at a couples table near the front where we got a pretty good view of the street, passing cars, and trees. The decor is black, white, and brown which plays well with the natural sunlight coming into the dining area via the large panel Windows. The service was amazing! Our waiter came by to ask us if we needed anything after every course, made sure our glasses never ran out if water, and was very polite. People can learn a thing or two about service from this guy! Anyways, definitely would come back and recommend. Khanh read more

We had last minute plans to go out for Valentine's day. Me and my husband. We just moved to Morgan Hill and We said We would hit up all the restaurants in town. Well we decided to sit outside and there was no set up, like candles and napkins. We had to ask. Bettos was very busy inside and we felt a little bit left out. We had to ask for our bread. Food was amazingly delicious. I would of given 5 starts if we didn't have to ask for candle and bread! read more

I really love this place in Morgan Hill! Great friendly, competent service! The menu is outstanding and has something for everybody! Lately, I have been ordering the seafood cob salad, with Louie dressing....not the vinagarette It's huge portion. Grilled lobster tail, crab legs, grilled filet of mahi mahi, hard boiled egg, lot's of avocado, tomatoes on a bed of fresh delicious green's. I believe it is $20.00...great deal. I am going next week and promise myself to order something else off their extensive menu! read more

This food was seriously delicious. I would have paid double the price for our entrees. Don't just walk by - eat here!

Lunch was excelent. Lamb salad was delicious (med rare or rare recommended). Eggplant superb. I was pleasantly surprised! Eat here!

Disappointing food. Kids had pizza which was flavorless. I ordered the Greek Salad which I expected to be better but it was also pretty bland and the chicken was not fresh. Husband ordered the cheese steak sandwich and had to add so much salt to it for it to have any flavor. Bland bland bland....wish we had gone to Ladera instead. Service was fine but we won't be back here. read more

We were headed to another restaurant but found it was closed so we walked across the street and came across Betto's. The menu is pretty extensive and as a lover of salads I was happy to see all the choices. We started with grilled artichokes and crab cakes.The artichokes come with two different aoilis, a pesto and red pepper and both are great. The crab cakes were just okay. Between the four of us we had the salmon/risotto, the beet salad (a special that day), the mediterranean salad, and the roasted turkey panini. The salads come with SO much chicken. But the real winner was the risotto. So creamy and tasty. Overall the food was decent but not mind blowing. Unfortunately the service was subpar- but not because the server was bad, but because they had one waiter for the whole lunch afternoon on a Saturday. The poor girl had a large party of twelve and then several other tables to tend to at once. Then another table spilled their plate and there were people sitting outside too. There simply just was not enough staff otherwise I definitely would give this place four stars. read more

We had a friend who had driven from out of town and didn't feel like going out -- so we brought home. It was delicious. I got the chicken Marsala which I've ordered previously and it is really delicious. Plus they give you a nice portion with plenty of lively mushrooms. My husband and friend both had lasagna and both were very happy with their selection. Although, I don't think lasagna is their best dish, it is good and a cozy thing to eat on a cold evening. Especially if you have a side salad and some of their delicious bread with it. Oh yummy. Beto's is a great little restaurant with very good service. Chicken Marsala read more

This was my second time eating here. The food was delicious. We had the calamari app it was so good. For dinner I had the lobster, shrimp and mushroom pasta dish and my hubby had the blackened mahi-mahi. It was wonderful. We ended dinner with the dessert sampler, which was very disappointing. The cannoli was gooey and the tiramisu lacked flavor. I highly recommend the food, but go elsewhere for your dessert. read more

4 Stars. This is the first sit down restaurant my GF and I have been to since moving to Morgan Hill. Staff is friendly, decor is generic, but the food was really good. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana. It came with a side of green beans and pesto pasta. The eggplant was great, but could have been cooked just a bit longer in certain spots. The pesto pasta accompanied the eggplant perfectly. I was a fan of the pesto sauce. The green beans were good too. My gf said her Asparagus and Cheese Giganti was good, but she wouldn't order it again. The sauce was good, but the filling was just okay. For Dessert, we tried the Sampler: Mini Canolis, cream puffs, tiramisu, strawberries and vanilla ice cream. This was the only letdown of the whole experience. The Canolis were our favorite. The cream puffs came out of a box from Costco, the ice cream was just that and the tiramisu tasted sour so we left that on the plate. Final Thoughts: looking forward to returning for lunch or dinner, but going to skip dessert. read more

They have a nice brunch atmosphere with outdoor sitting in the back. The brunch menu had lots of variety of sides for everyone's taste. I had the crab eggs Benedict which was cooked perfectly. It comes with your choice of 2 sides. I had the Brie French toast and the crepes with fresh berries. Both delicious. I had a bite of the chicken sausage and it's made with fresh ingredients but lacked flavor. read more

Betto's Bistro - Crab Egg Benedict - Italian Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

First let me say we have frequented Betto's Bistro on numerous occasions and have always, always found the food and service to be very good. We have had their brunch on 2 or 3 occasions as well and have been pleased. Today we had brunch and were shocked at the service and the food. They were exceptionally busy - likely people getting out with the sun shining and those who just finished the Wildflower run. We were able to get a table quickly though and service was fairly quick as well. The reason for the low stars is for the quality of our meals and service after the meals were served. My omelet was made like a frittata. It was overdone and crispy brown and definitely on the tough side. The bacon was absolutely cold and chewy. Certainly not worth $17.99! My husband said his frittata was okay but it too was overly done and the bottom way overcooked! It was tough to cut through it. His bacon was cold and chewy as well. I had to ask for condiments when I was finally able to get the waitresses attention. When we were done we waited a very, very, very long time for the bill. We saw at least two frustrated families who ultimately left when they were ignored. We noticed that there were only 2 wait staff and no bus staff. The wait staff had to do it all!!! We suspect that they must've been short handed with wait and bus staff and the kitchen likely too overwhelmed to cook an omelet and frittata correctly. As I mentioned, we have enjoyed Betto's numerous times before but we think we will pass on their brunches going forward. The flat cost of $17.99 for brunch is a little on the steep side. read more

I ordered the shrimp and lobster malfada....it was excellent all the way around, 5 stars. My wife had the chicken parmesan which i took a few bites from and we both liked it. My brother had the chicken malfada and he said it was good but wasn't specific. My sister in law had the Ribeye medium rare and unfortunately found it to be bland. My brother tried it and also said it was very average. I didn't try their dishes because I was too full from my own. For the dessserts we had the apple crisp and lava cake. Both didn't have nearly enough ice cream to go with the dish which was the first issue. The second was the apple crisp, it was good but way to many raisins to the Pont of where it was not enjoyable. Our waitress was excellent, didn't catch her name though. I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could due to the desserts and my sister in laws rib eye. If we hadn't ordered the desserts I wouldn't have known about them and would have said this place honestly earned 4 stars so I guess it comes down to individual dishes. read more

We've been to all of the downtown Morgan Hill restaurants, and we like the food at Betto's the best. The blackened mahi-mahi, prawn salad, and shrimp pasta are all delicious. The service is a little slow, but friendly. read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would. The worst and I mean the WORST service I have ever experienced. We sat down a party of 4 and did not get menus or greeted for 15 minutes. And by that I mean after 15 minutes I got up and walked over to another table with menus and picked them up myself. Waited for 50 minutes and still no food at the table. I canceled our order at this point and wanted to pay for the one item we received which was a salad that was bland to say the least. The server Jacob was so unprofessional and rude. I walked up and he said our food was coming up ... which we've heard 3 times before this. I looked and guess what its not OUR food. I tried to be polite and tell him "hey it's not your fault I understand the industry but we have children outside and can't wait any longer" Jacobs response "no it's obviously my fault" Then he charges my card and throws the pen down and the counter and walks away.. like it's my fault you have shitty service. Jacob was lucky I didn't rip his bald ass a new one. From all the other shit reviews I'm surprised this place is still open. Long story short save your time and money. And Jacob if you're reading this catch me outside how bout that!!!! read more

Went for brunch. Delicious. So much on the menu I had trouble deciding. You get a couple sides (small) but it's cool bc you can try some other stuff while you still get a full meal. Sides for my wife and I were actually perfect servings for my 5 year old daughter to eat as a meal and didn't need to order her anything extra. Crepes and pancakes were really good. My steak and eggs were on point. If you like eggs Benedict (all different variations) make sure to stop here. read more

I really wanted to give a good review. We had been to Betto's a number of times in the past and really enjoyed it. The food tonight was ok, but not great. Our waiter just didn't come around to take our order or come back to check on us. It took forever to order drinks, meals, and desserts. We were there over 2 hours, but not in a fun way. More of a "is anyone coming back?" way. And it wasn't that crowded. It was also really expensive. I get that people are trying their best but as patrons we are also trying to use what resources we have to recover in a difficult year. I don't see us going back again. read more

Just got home from a sweltering brunch at this restaurant. Despite the fact that we called ahead and were assured we could eat inside in the air conditioning (very important to us because we had spent the morning at a baseball tournament and were hot, hungry and tired) when we go there we were told we had to sit out back in the shaded outside dining area. This despite the fact that there were only 3 other customers in the restaurant at the time. They said it was because there were 7 of us, but I suspect it was because we had a 5 year old with us, as there was plenty of space available in the main restaurant. We stayed because every other downtown restaurant was packed and we were all hungry. The food was okay, not great but not bad. But the callous treatment means we will never go back. There is probably a reason Betto's had lots of space when their neighboring restaurants were full. read more

Saw the reviews on Yelp and tried it out. The food is very good and I have been coming back almost weekly for lunch. I been trying different dishes everytime and haven't had a bad one. The price is good for what you getting, as In any where else it would be more. Always leave full . read more

Getting ready to order a dinner to go and thought I needed to give them a review. Have been coming to Betto's for 6 years - great food, friendly service. They were open for takeout during the pandemic and masked, wore gloves, and greeted every customer with genuine gratitude. I love this place. Mostly, the restaurant is consistent. Our favorite foods taste the way we expect when we come here. No "edgy" menu, which is not a bad thing if that's what you want. But if you are craving that same special Italian dish you had in the past, you will find it here. Everyone in our family has their favorite order from Betto's and that's what I will order tonight. Wonderful business! So glad they made it through the pandemic! read more

Super nice, really fresh salad, it was supposed to be a small Caesar, it was huge!! Whole loaf of really yummy French bread, super fresh ingredients in my pasta dish, which was a large portion of chicken Alfredo with sun dried tomatoes, great customer service, really good food...enjoyed Ramon he took perfect are of me! Will return with my husband next time I'm in Morgan Hill!! read more

Nice looking and clean restaurant but food is subpar for what theh charge for. We came during brunch. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Scramble with Bruschetta Hashbrown and Smoked Ham. The best thing about the meal was the side of smoked ham. It was decently sized, thick, not a lot of fat. The smoked salmon however, was mixed within the scrambled eggs which ended up being cooked. Who cooks smoked salmon??? It wasn't clear in the menu that they will be cooking the salmon. Such a disappointment. The Bruschetta Hasbrowns looked like two frozen hashbrowns cooked then added with strip of mayo, bbq sauce and diced tomatoes on top. Served as a nicely designed side order. The server definitely described it way better than it came out. Bleh. For $14.99 brunch, I could have gone somewhere and have gotten fresh smoked salmon elsewhere for less than $14. And the coffee, don't get me started with that. $3 for Ambiance coffee. I mean, I like ambiance but NOT for $3. Other restaurants carry Illy coffee for $2.50. They can literally charge $1.50 for that coffee and get more than 100% return on investment. That's based on my restaurant owning experience. read more

We have came to this restaurant 3 times so far so by that it should give you a hint it's a great restaurant. The food is definitely over priced but when you get your dish it's definitely worth it. All the ingredients are fresh and dishes are cooked to order. That being said if you are looking for fast service it won't happen at this place. You will be waiting to get your food dish for about 40/50minutes. I also wanted to leave a great review to their waiter Juan. He is awesome you may have to ask him for a couple things here and there, for example their complimentary delicious bread, but he gets his job done. A lot of the times I seen him all by himself attending to all the tables at the restaurant and he amazes me. Four stars for this business only because one of the times we visited felt like a sauna and nothing was really done to regulate the temperature to a comfortable one. read more

Pro's: EXCELLENT food!! Great selection of salads Great service Con's: Charged us for soda water!!!!! (this sad fact prohibits me from giving 5 stars) Not a very nice ambiance The burgers were awesome. Great big steak fries. Excellent selection of salads - artisanal salads!
