This Michelin-starred spot in Santa Barbara welcomed us in, despite being clueless to their 2:30 -…read more4:30pm closing. We just had to order somewhat quickly-- which was EASY because the Menu looked incredible. Claiming to have "the best Caesar salad in town", we grabbed that, and two unique to the area / season pizzas. The Elote (hold the cilantro) & the Stone Fruit, with peaches, nectarines, local cheese, and house hot honey. Holy-cow, the dough was incredible to the touch, smell, taste. The toppings were so fresh and elevated. The Caesar lived up to its own hype, by being quite incredible. Bettina is also attached to a really cute lil' shopping center, that is worth visiting, if in the area. Specials thanks to the Associate of the Month, at the Mar Monte Hotel, for recommending this spot, which will go on my list of places to go, in SB.

Pulled up here on a Monday, packed, had to wait and I wasn't very happy. Kind of already know what…read morewas coming, thin pizza, long wine list, and overall mediocrity. Anyway this place is very well renowned so to each their own. Tried the pizza, bro the breading is like a CD disc, you know what this pizza reminds me of, taking a bite into just straight up ingredients and well it's not bad, I feel like you need to taste the rich dough along with it. Overall the ingredients they use aren't bad but it's just not my thing. The bread with the butter on the other hand was pretty rough but the butter helps a lot, creamy, soft, and overall I think it compliments the bread well. Pizza: 7.0 Bread: 7.4

I liked the range of pizzas they have, we ordered a lemon mushroom and something with ricotta, bacon, and fig as well as some garlic knots. They were both really tasty; the fig one was my favorite pizza, but my favorite bite was perhaps the garlic knots! Perfectly fluffy and the marinara sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I would've liked more char on the crust, but no complaints otherwise. Definitely want to order from them again and try the Hawaiian and other pies.

They have live jam sessions on their patio Wednesday nights & we got lucky enough to walk into it (such a nice surprise)! It was such a great experience hanging out on the patio while waiting for our food, then being able to enjoy it with live music. We got a whole pepperoni pie (no picture) & a side of their homemade ranch. Everything was so delicious - hands down the best pizza & ranch I've had. The bite & chew of the pizza was perfect & everything was so tasty. I went back today for lunch on my way back home to socal & got to try their individual Sicilian slice. The dough is thick & bready - about 2 inch thickness. I added sausage, mushrooms, & jalapeños on my slice & yummm. 10000/10 would recommend I will definitely be back & be stopping by any time I pass through Santa Barbara

I love the thin crusts of their pizzas because it doesn't leave you feeling too heavy even if you ate the whole pizza (aka, no food coma crash despite the carbs). Tried the Caserta Pizza (5/5) It's made with double flor di latte sauce base that gives it creaminess. Then topped with Italian sausage, garlic pecorino, basil, smoked provolone cheese, and Calabrian chili. The sausage was savory, and the cheese was melty and of good quality. You can taste the mild spice from the chili flakes and the herbal-ness from the basil. Add-on some of their housemade chili oil sauce for an additional spice kick. Service was professional and courteous. We had a great time and really enjoyed our dine-in experience here. We'll be coming back to try out other flavors for sure.

I thought I must've been in Napoli. I was with some friends because we were on our way to a performance (I am a musician) and we were in a hurry. The waiter accommodated us and the pizza came out in under 10 minutes, I believe. The atmosphere is simple but nice. I was surprised that it wasn't more busy on a Friday night. I am telling you, this was fantastic pizza. I cannot wait to go back and to try some of the pasta.

Hot girl pizza was spicyyyyyy, but the sausage?! LOVED ! The garlic bread? Unnecessarily SPICY (I'm a 100% Latina, who can HANDLE spice... but this was borderline unenjoyable spicy) Food was 10/10! The ambiance was chill and I loved how it looked. The ocean down the street and everyone just enjoying themselves. Customer Service ? Left MUCH, MUCH to be desired and honestly, probably will keep me from coming back again. When we were ordering, I had asked the person at register "Hi how are you going today?!" Just got responded with "good. What can I get you?" Blunt. Unwelcoming. And kinda rude. I just said ok and moved on. It was our first time there so I asked her for recommendations and she just said "everything is good" Between her responses, she kept talking and laughing with her coworkers. Not a big deal, but you can just tell when someone isn't interested in having any sort of conversation. Also due to the fact that she had her back completely towards us in the middle of our transactions multiple times. She inspected my printed receipt at the end and looked bugged when she realized we didn't tip due to her poor service. Couldn't help but notice a different type of customer service being offered to other customers. It seemed obvious. Probably won't be coming back because of service, might just do pick up because of the food! Definitely would much rather recommend St. Bibiana's pizza on Ortega! Amazing pizza, great vibe and much better service.

The Gamberetti al Aglio e Olio Piccante was delicious and saucy. Just the right amount of spice for the shrimp and extra sauce to dip the wonderful bread into. Margherita pizze was good too- don't wait too long to eat it the cheese will solidify and lose that stretchy creaminess. Basil was a nice touch and not too spicy overpowering Mare chiaro pizze was a long time favorite. Unfortunately halfway through eating the pizza noticed there were no clam pieces to be found. We asked the server and she mentioned they had run out. To make up for this, a free dessert was comped. Added bonus order- crepes Crespella à la Nutella: this means heaven in your mouth lol. Was able to watch the cook make it from start to finish (such a friendly guy too!) server also added ice cream on the side and man this was amazing with added sparkles of goodness! Overall a wonderful reunion of flavor and good memories. It's always a delight to come and dine here- thank you for the friendly service and delicious food!

We were greeted by a affable server who had been doing it for some time and good service, but was a little bit absent at times Overall, the food was good. Nothing that I eat. Was that incredibly memorable the chicken Parmesan was above the average but the reason for the four stars is Monika's food was exceptional and she finished every single bite. I would also say that it took some time for the cocktails to come out the service bar could use a little bit of work until next time dine fine.

When we walked in we saw some games, which gave a us a slight "Chuck-E-Cheese" vibe, so our expectations were lowered. Boy were we wrong! First off, the worker behind the counter was either a mind-reader or had overheard me, but either way he very quickly asked, "You want slices?" He was attentive and fast. The worker at the register was equally helpful and speedy. When I ordered a Pacifico for my beverage, she asked if I wanted it opened; and before I could finish saying yes, the other employee had opened it and handed it to me. Then, they brought our slices to our table (I don't think they do that for everyone but we lucked out). The slices were DELICIOUS. Fantastic pizza. All in all, recommended!
