Betos Italian Bistro

Beto's is located in a small strip mall. From the exterior it doesn't look like much. But I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my dining experience. My minestrone soup and salmon were scrumptious. The service was friendly and professional. The prices were very reasonable for the overall quality. The only small negatives for me was that the tables are close together and the lighting was too dark.

Amazing small restaurant! Great wine and killer food! First time here and we will be back! Great place for a date!

Chicken Picatta tasted like cream of chicken soup with a few squirts of lemon juice. Heard good things about this place, left disappointed. No good Italian food anywhere out here. Have to travel to San Diego's little Italy. Lived in Chicago for many years, we have a fabulous Little Italy. I make a better Chicken Picatta all day long.

It saddens me to post this! Wife and I partook in the Monday night special last night (11/19) and were less than impressed. The first thing that struck me was the lack of life in the restaurant when we first entered. We've always enjoyed the uplifting feeling we've experienced there many times. The second thing was the salad. The lettuce didn't seem fresh, like the salad had been made many hours before. The food was good but not spectacular as we've remembered the restaurant in the past. So overall, I can't give it more than a three this time. We'll be back and with great hope things change for the better. We left thinking maybe the staff weren't having a good day and that feeling overflowed to the ambiance of the establishment.

Betos is not your typical Italian-American dining establishment. This place is a little more upscale with smaller portions and a more tailored experience. The food is great and the prices aren't bad. There is a large selection of wines and they have a gluten free pasta available for those that need it. When we went, we were not greeted by a host so we ended up standing in the doorway for a few minutes until someone noticed us. The bartender then spotted us and told us to sit anywhere. Not a huge problem but it is a little confusing if you just walk up without a reservation. There is a large free parking lot and easy access in and out of the area. The dining room is slightly cramped but overall this is a nice place to eat out. I would definitely go back.
