The menu showcases a delightful array of wood-fired creations, from classic Margheritas adorned with the finest tomatoes and mozzarella to inventive combinations featuring seasonal produce and artisanal cheeses. With a dedication to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, Bettina crafts pizzas that are nothing short of perfection. I don't know when I will return to Fort Myers area but when I do, I will be eating at this restaurant.Bettina is a culinary gem celebrated for its delectable Neapolitan-style pizzas and warm, inviting atmosphere. Looking for something different, try Begonias. Six bottles of Stella, excellent Cuban coffee, 68 U.S. Waiting staff are bi-lingual as is the menu. No room for dessert but the homemade rice pudding looked good. The restaurant was full at lunchtime, all Latino patrons.a good sign as to the authenticity of the dishes. Grilled red snapper, pork chunks in a thick sauce, roasted chicken quarters. We saw other dishes coming out of the kitchen which looked terrific. Huge portions so stay away from starters unless you have a large appetite. Main dishes ordered were 'churrasco' (thin cut steak) and pork ribs in a delicious sauce. The other friend chose yuca root and sweet potatoes. Two of us chose 'Moros and Cristianos' (black beans and rice)as a side dish as well as Cuban tamales and fried plantains. I wisely did not order a starter(due to large portions) opting for just a main course which came with a choice of two side dishes. Clearly fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, large portions. But don't be fooled by outward appearances. Located in a small open air shopping mall, the facade looks like a fast food place.
