Halloween is just around the corner, which means it’s time for costumes, candy, pumpkins, and a little creative and spooky fun around the dinner table.
At Bettolino Kitchen, we like to use our imagination and give our fan favorites a new persona for the occasion. They’re not scary, but they are delicious – and they’re perfect for a festive dinner with family, friends, or a date night.
If you’re looking for somewhere to dine in Redondo Beach during spooky season, add Bettolino to your plans and try one of these delicious favorites!
🖤 Witching Hour Linguini
Some pastas are practically made for Halloween. Our Linguini & Clams gets its dramatic dark color from handmade squid ink pasta, making it the perfect dish for a little spooky-season fun!
The squid ink pasta is paired with both Manila and baby clams, all tossed in a white wine and garlic sauce. The briny clams and savory garlic bring plenty of flavor, while the dark pasta gives the dish its perfectly mysterious Halloween look.
It’s elegant, unexpected, and just a little bit eerie—in the best possible way. If you’re looking for a Halloween-season dinner that’s a little different from the usual, this one is worth putting under your spell.
🎃 Trick-or-Treat Lasagna
Sometimes the best Halloween treat isn’t hiding in a candy bowl… it’s layered between sheets of fresh pasta. So for Halloween season, we’re giving our Lasagna Napoletana a festive new name: Trick-or-Treat Lasagna.
This classic Italian comfort food starts with layers of pasta sheets and a hearty combination of grass-fed ground beef and Berkshire ground pork. That’s the treat.
So what’s the trick? It’s topping it with a savory crispy spinach that adds an unexpected touch of texture and flavor to the dish.
It’s savory, creamy, cheesy, and satisfying—the kind of dish that’s perfect for a family dinner before heading out for Halloween festivities or a cozy meal after a night of trick-or-treating.
🌶️ Spooky Spice Gnocchi
Every Halloween celebration needs a little spice. And our Gnocchi Peperonata brings the heat! So, we’re giving it a spooky-season name to match: Spooky Spice Gnocchi.
This handmade gnocchi is served with handmade sausage, caramelized onions, sautéed red peppers, tomato sauce, creamy burrata cheese, and a drizzle of hot honey.
The result is a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, and a whole lot of comforting. The red peppers and tomato sauce bring vibrant color to the plate, while the burrata adds a cool, creamy contrast to the hot honey. It’s the perfect pick for anyone who likes their Halloween with a little extra kick!
