Bettini Restaurant — Restaurant in Edgartown

A Culinary Gem That Outshines Even the View – Bettini at Harbor View Hotel Bettini at the Harbor View Hotel is one of those rare places where the food, service, and setting harmonize so perfectly that you almost forget which one impressed you first. Yes, the view of Edgartown Harbor is breathtaking — the kind that glows in the golden light of Martha’s Vineyard — but here, it’s the food that truly steals the show.

Under the remarkable leadership of Executive Chef Juan Martinez and Sous Chef Momo Camara, every plate is crafted with soul and precision. The scallop crudo was a masterpiece of restraint — impossibly fresh, delicate, kissed with just the right acidity to let the sea speak for itself. The lobster bucatini came next, beautifully balanced with a subtle kick that added warmth without overwhelming the sweet richness of the lobster. And then, the beef carpaccio — paper-thin, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and bursting with flavor in every bite.

Service was flawless from start to finish. Our bartender Taylor made the most beautiful hot cocoa for my daughter — just the right temperature, velvety, and not too hot — proof of the team’s thoughtful attention to detail. Andrei, our server, was both attentive and genuinely funny, effortlessly remembering each of my kids’ names after our very first dinner. That kind of personal touch transforms a meal into a memory.

Bettini isn’t just a hotel restaurant — it’s a culinary destination in its own right. Whether you come for the harbor views, the impeccable service, or the artistry on your plate, you’ll leave knowing you’ve just experienced...

We had an incredible experience at Bettini, made even more memorable by the outstanding service from bartenders Hunter and Taylor. We were celebrating my friend's new job in LA, so we wanted somewhere we could feel extra special celebrating.

Sitting at the bar was the perfect choice — the atmosphere was welcoming, the conversation flowed easily, and the bartenders professionalism truly stood out. Hunter crafted what was hands down the best espresso martini we’ve ever had, setting the tone for a fantastic evening. Taylor made us one of the signature cocktails of Bettini as well and truly - another five star drink to start the night. The ambiance at Bettini strikes a perfect balance between elegant and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet elevated night out.

The food was equally impressive. We started with the beef skewers, which were incredibly tender, and the shrimp empanadas, which were perfectly crisp and flavorful. The gnocchi with wild mushrooms and truffle was a standout — rich, decadent, and absolutely delicious. The chicken dish was spectacular, beautifully cooked and full of flavor. We ended on a sweet note with the chocolate torte, a lovely finish to an unforgettable meal. If you're visiting Edgartown, a meal at Bettini is a must and we highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar — between the amazing service, exquisite food, and lively ambiance, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. Taylor and Hunter are true professionals and we look forward to coming in again and telling all our friends about...

UPDATED I am honestly shocked with the experience we had at Bettini considering the great reviews and recommendations. The food here was good, nothing spectacular, but the service experience was terrible. Our waiter was great, management was the issue. We sat at a table underneath an air vent that started leaking onto one of our guests. Instead of automatically moving our table, they had somebody come out with a cloth and stick and made our guest stand up and move over while they wiped down the ac vent as it’s continuously dripping into glasses on the table and all over the appetizers. After we finally asked to be moved they said they would have to “ask” even though we were the only group there other than one other family. After being moved the manager came over and briefly apologized but then asked us if we knew anything about AC units? As if we are supposed to fix the problem for them? Instead of comping our meal or offering a discount, they brought out desserts that we did not want. Very unhappy with this experience and we do not plan to return to this restaurant in the future.

UPDATE: Since leaving this review and reaching out to the hotel they were great and accommodating to our wants and needs as guests. They accommodated our requests and were very nice, helpful, and provided us enough reassurance to wish to return in the...
