Bettola is a casual upscale restaurant located in Birmingham’s Pepper Place. Founded by award-winning chef James Lewis, Bettola offers a wonderful array of foods from the Campania region of Italy in a warm and modern setting. Here, we honor the farm-to-table tradition by using locally sourced meats and produce to bring fresh flavors to each dish. Customer favorites include our gnocchi, pollo pomodoro, and our charcuterie selections. Our signature Neapolitan pizzas start with dough made from scratch, using Caputo flour flown in from Italy, which is hand-tossed and wood-fired in our authentic brick oven from Naples. We also feature a variety of house-made pastas, roasts, and sautés, and we offer craft cocktails and wines.
Brick-front pizzeria featuring straight-up Italian fare & wood-fired Neopolitan pies.

Went on New Year’s Eve so it was quite busy with small amount of staff. Given the circumstances our server was attentive. Atmosphere was nice. The Rigatoni Bolognese brought me right back to Bologna, so good. Great wine selection. Prices were decent. Will be coming back here.

It was my first visit to this highly recommended restaurant. Having been overwhelmed by all the aromas, I requested that my server order for me. He did not let me down! That pork sandwich was amazing!!

Wonderful experience. I was not expecting much, but it did exceed my expectations. The food is good very contemporary Italian not so much traditional. Service from the young lady at the bar was a 20 out of 10. I wish her luck on her interview and if she gets her job, you still have to keep her part-time. The staff was engaged and even Server is coming up to the bar service area. I will definitely be back I had the carbonara pasta. It was very good. I will definitely be back to try more food options.

Atmosphere and service were fantastic as were the pastas. Very vegetarian friendly. Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Only exception was the pizza sadly as ours had a slightly undercooked soggy bottom. The flavors of the pizza itself were also amazing. I would pass on the burrata but that might just be a personal preference.

Loved the pizza and wine. Some of the best I’ve probably tried in the south. Unfortunately, I got up to use the bathroom halfway through my meal and they cleared my table. What a shame, manager said they thought I walked out. As a successful business owner, that is insulting. I’ve never stolen before.
Also, the wine price for the bottle of Montepulciano on the receipt doesn’t match what is quoted on the menu. Had to ask for an adjustment. Let this serve as a learning experience. No tip was left. Dined on 2/13/26.

Birthday celebration of eight. We had a margherita and their calamari as antipasto and they were both delicious. Then our group had their steak, fish, Bolognese and carbonara. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We finished with tiramisu and their pots of chocolate. Delizioso!

Had a wonderful meal, including an exquisite white pizza with mushroom and truffle oil, a plum cocktail, and a mixed green/herb salad. I sat inside and was pleased to find that it wasn’t too loud or too crowded, although they were plenty of people.

We had concert tickets downtown so we thought we would make a night of it. Reservations for 5pm and we’re seated immediately.
It was a beautiful evening so we chose the patio. Music was light and atmosphere was inviting.
Staff was polite and attentive. We tried, the suggested, Mentone AL tomato salad to start. Served with thick, ripe red and yellow tomatoes along with some dressing and corn. It was light and savory. Had us wanting more. Excellent choice.
For dinner we chose the pepperoni and filetto pizzas. They serve a classic Neapolitan style wood fired pizza.
Pizza was a good personal size. Crisp crust with nice leopard spotting. Chewy inside with good gluten development.
Middle was a little soggy, but typical for Neapolitan style. Toppings were fresh and flavorful.
Chocolate Budino was light and fluffy with a hint of salt. The roasted hazelnuts gave it a nice crunch. The house made whipped creme was firm and smooth.
Excellent meal! No complaints. Highly recommend.

Had a long roadtrip into
Birmingham and wasn’t able to move up our 8:30 reservation so we pivoted to takeout…. It was less than stellar . Two salads consisted of arugula with 2 pieces of radish each and not a spec of cheese on either. ($24). The bread was a lumpy cold mess but still tasted good. The shining star was the rigatoni , it was delicious ! Would have liked a sprinkle of parm on top . Didn’t know you have to request utensils and napkins , that ended up being an extra trip downstairs to request from hotel. It was $100 meal for 2 that left us feeling full but a little deflated .

Update 5/21/24: Another beautiful meal for my birthday! The house-made pasta is the star to me, but the burrata is amazing too. All the food was delicious and the patio is gorgeous. The evening weather was perfect too; not too sure how they arranged that. My only knock was one of our cocktails was way too watery and lacked flavor. We sent it back and got a tasty replacement, but the cocktail menu could certainly use a boost. Not enough to cost a star though, and the wine was phenomenal. Bettola is one of my favorite BHM restaurants. ✨
We showed up on a windy Thursday evening without a reservation, but we were seated outside (our preference) right away. We got the burrata appetizer, which all enjoyed. The bread was wonderful. For entrees, we had two pizzas – the Margherita and Mascarpone e Prosciutto, and the Buccatini Carbonara. Everything was great, but the Carbonara was everyone’s favorite. That freshly made pasta was absolutely perfect and the flavors were decadent. The space is lovely and service was excellent. We’ll absolutely be back.
