Wonderful Italian restaurant hosted by the gracious and friendly Mateo. We started with the tasty Siciliana salad with tasty tuna and anchovies. We finished with a crisp crust combo pizza adding a little homemade Calabrian chile sauce for spicy. Great food. Great service.

Went June 30 2024. Had the crab fettuccine. Soooo delicious!!! Mateo greeted us at the entrance. Very clean inside and out. He kept checking if we needed anything. Now a days that very rare.but the fettuccine, mmmmm. I forgot to ask but I hope the do takeout. I work downtown and I would love to pick up some for home. The serving size was just right,but I had enough to bring home

Everyone will agree there are many excellent Italian establishments in Santa Cruz. While I have dined at some excellent ones in town, I just say that Bedda Mia is THE best I've had in SC, and possibly even the best outside of Italy. Matteo is the ultimate host. Immediately attentive, friendly, and genuinely concerned to serve. He represents pride in ownership, and it certainly shows in the high quality dishes from the kitchen . The orrechiette with sausage cream is authentic like from Puglia Italy. The fettuccine with Dungeness crab is simply Devine. A unique dish you will not find anywhere. The linguine with squid ink - amazing. Equally delish is the rigatoni bolognese. For dessert, homemade pistachio sorbetto, tiramisu, and lemon cake - all home made and simply delicious. You must try this place. Top notch. Great job Matteo and family. It's like being in Italy.
