    My wife Brenda and I shared a belated Valentine's dinner at Betos Italian Bistro and truly had a 5 Star experience. The food was flavorful prepared to perfection, with great service, and relaxed bistro atmosphere. Great value for the price. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent place. The food is wonderful. My Wife and I ordered a bit of food while we were there. We ordered a parmesan risotto and a mushroom risotto. They were both excellent. We also had a pumpkin ravioli that was amazing. Great staff. They were nice and extremely helpful. I'm glad my Wife and I came here for our Anniversary dinner. We sat outside on a beautiful day. It was perfect.

    We really enjoyed it. The food was good. My wife says she would try something different off the menu other than the Penne, however I liked it.

    I love this restaurant! The food and service are outstanding! You have got to try the linguine and clams! I cannot wait to return!

    We enjoyed everything we ate. We had lasagna, sand dabs and chicken piccata. The piccata is a little different than usual preparation. , a little richer lemon caper sauce. Jen provided excellent service. The price was reasonable.

    Great place. Lovely atmosphere. Our server was absolutely fantastic. The food, however.... not so much. Ended up with spoiled fish. Had a pungent odor but I thought maybe it was just me. Even the server agreed after taking a taste. I ended up with (I guess I didn't learn my lesson) another seafood dish, a plate with clams and a bit of linguine. My wife ordered a plate full of croutons with a bit of salad mixed in. The description explains it all. 4 regular fork full of the linguine and it was done and my wife ended up with a plateful of croutons. Maybe the chef was having a bad day.

    Excellent food, drinks, and excellent service. The food alone is some of the best Italian in SoCal! We had a party of 5 on mother’s day and everyone loved their dishes.

    The restaurant is cozy and well appointed. The service was exceptional. The menu is good, but some of the dishes were either too sweet or overly heavy. I ordered the shrimp scampi and was surprised to see served with a creamy white sauce. It was ok but I would have preferred a traditional recipe that wasn't so heavy. I wouldn't order it there again. My friends ordered the lasagne and other meat pasta dishes and were very pleased.

    05-30-23 4 in our party. First visit here for two of us. I don't recall what we all had. (I shoulda took pics). Whenever I try a new restaurant I like to have the same meal I've had at other restaurants. Tonight I had Chicken Parmesan. I've had worse, can't recall a better one, so this might be as good as I've had. Just one minor issue: the sauce that accompanies the pasta looks and tastes suspiciously like "Chef Boyardee" spaghetti sauce. Otherwise it was quite enjoyable. I finished it all.

    One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Host was clearly annoyed that we even showed up for our reservation at 6:30 and then proceeded to have a nasty attitude each time he passed our table. Our server was nice and accommodating but wasn’t too present throughout the meal. A different person dropped our drinks and food. We ordered the special by name and then when it was dropped to our table, it was called a different name so when we asked what it was, the same nasty host snapped at us saying it’s the “same as the special but just a different name”. Food was cold by the time we got it and it came out at all different times. Overall pretty disappointing as I know the family who owns this restaurant along with Maria’s and Olivios but Betos needs some work and new staff.

    This was my 1st time eating here my good friend knows I love cioppino and saw that they offer it on their menu so he brought me here to try it out... I must say it was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of seafood in it. I also requested to have them make the broth a bit spicy and they accommodated me with no problem. The service was excellent & the atmosphere was great! I will definitely be back in the future for more Cioppino!

    Great dining experience! My go to place to take clients for lunch and family/friends for dinner! Lunch time Must haves are are chicken piccata, chicken or eggplant parmigiana, grilled veggie sandwich and the chicken pallard! Dinner must haves Chilean Sea Bass, Double cut Pork Chop and the Filet Mignon. Mske sure you save room for dessert! Looking forward to trying more menu items, this place is a gem!

    Celebrated my moms and my sister's birthday together here at the same time and it was a lot of fun we felt bad because we took forever to order but the waitress was wonderful about it we hadn't seen each other in almost two years so we were sitting there talking talking and the waitress was extremely patient and nice with us. The food was great we had ordered three entrees and a chopped salad and a bottle of prosecco and we basically ate it all family style. Honestly between the three of us we could have done just fine with the two entrees instead of three we were totally stuffed and had a lot to take home by the end of the meal. Food quality and presentation was great would definitely go here again. I was a little bit on the pricey side but you pay for what you get which is great. Definitely happy that we ended up going here none of us had heard about it before it's kind of a little hole in the wall and I'm sure definitely a bit underrated I would definitely recommend this to anybody who can afford it!

    Talk about a fun place to have some yummy Italian food and entertainment! When my wife and I visited, we were greeted by respectful and welcoming staff and a musician preparing to perform live music. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and gives off a clean, refined appearance. The food was quite good as well! We got veal ravioli as an appetizer, which had a very rich flavor to it. My wife got the mushroom risotto, tasted heavenly. I got the chicken parm, which tasted good, but the chicken parm could've used another minute to get the nice golden look and crunch to it. Only complaint we had was that the oil at the table tasted very odd, almost like canola or vegetable oil rather than olive oil. The oil was very off putting especially since the bread tasted so good. Overall, great place to have a nice meal and enjoy some live music when it's there, just avoid the oil!

    Taste-tested from my parents takeout and it was great! Will be placing my own orders from now on (and frequently) !

    I am Italian. From Brooklyn. Grew up with the usual big italian family dinners. My mom was a great cook. The Chicken Parmigiana here took me back to those special times. When the server brought a to go pan for my cousin since she couldn't finish her food, she asked me if I needed one. Hell no......I ate the entire thing. Mangia!!!!!!! Ti amo!!!!😊

    The pumpkin ravioli was fantastic! Also had the arugula salad, without the prosciutto, to keep it vegetarian, and it was delicious! The wine was also great!

  • 5/5 Jill S. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was absolutely delicious, the wine, the Caesar salad and the rigatoni with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes. We shared the salad and the main course and it was perfectly the right amount for us. The server was really nice and everyone is so friendly and asked us numerous times if we were happy with our meal. We can’t wait to go back!

    The Classic Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cake saved my life once in Michigan...and I was not disappointed in a few years at the beside Great oninon rings. I love the 50's style, the backstory of the place and I'll be back every time I'm in LA for sure!!!

    It was good& more than passable. A bit high priced for Simi Valley they are not in Encino. As a new York Italian food critic, it's on the north side of 50% when it comes to Itty dishes. The sauce was not labored over but good. The pork chip was a bit dry and they wouldn't cook it my way. They evidently par cook or sous vide and the chef didn't want to bother or inexperienced. Not sure. Ask in all good enough to go back and try something different, maybe more traditional. My wife hat the chicken parm. Also as little over mediocre but more in the veal price range than for chicken.
