Reviews Summary
Bettino's Al Mare offers a picturesque dining experience with attentive service and many standout dishes like tiramisu and calamari. While the ambiance and friendly staff are frequently praised, some diners note inconsistency in food preparation, particularly regarding salt levels and overcooked seafood. The lack of air conditioning in warmer months can also be a drawback for some.
"Been here so many times and every time I’m like, wow. You will not be disappointed, everything is clean, no noise and the food is amazing. It’s a must visit! Never had a dish here that did not like. It’s always extraordinary. I highly recommend!"

"They have moved from their previous location to kinda across the road. This new location is stunning! My only con was that there was no AC on the inside and they definitely could use a fan or two on the outside especially since the time is getting warmer.
Food was 10/10. No complaints. It was my second time at Bettinos, brought my husband and father for Father’s Day. They had a nice Father’s Day menu, they loved their selections. He was just disappointed that he got sweet potato mash instead of Irish potatos but said the sweet potato was still good.
Hands down fav thing was the tiramisu and the ginger ice cream. They put their foot in that tiramisu lol and my husband loved the calamari said it was the best he’s ever had (in Ja or abroad). My father loved the carrot cake, and he isn’t a fan of sweets so that speaks volumes.
Service is 10/10. We were charged a 10% gratuity on the bill but the server said tip isn’t included for him, i dunno maybe it goes to the cooking staff. Wished there was way to leave a tip on the card for the servers as we had no cash. He really did a good job though.
If you’re in St.Ann it’s a must visit. They even have a bartender so you can get freshly made cocktails and stuff! Happy dining!"
