Bertolone’s…
Because the best part of hosting isn’t worrying about the food. It’s being present for the people and moments that matter.

🍂 HELLO, NOVEMBER! 🍁

There’s something about November that makes even an ordinary drive feel like a little autumn adventure.

The winding roads. The changing leaves. 🍁 That unmistakable autumn chill that calls for something warm, comforting, and made with love. No, not a sweater…. Pasta!🍝

A plate of homemade pasta, dressed in a rich Italian sauce. 🍝 A little focaccia bread. Something sweet from our dessert kitchen. And, of course, a table where there’s always room for one more.

Because some roads are worth traveling simply for the scenery… and some roads lead to Bertolone’s. 🇮🇹

Come hungry. Leave Italian.

🎬 BERTOLONE’S PRESENTS…

👻 THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE HALLOWEEN…An Italian Restaurant Horror Story 😱

🎙️ For maximum dramatic effect, please read the following in the voice of Don LaFontaine, the legendary movie-trailer announcer. If you don’t know who that is, ask someone who remembers renting movies on VHS.📼

IN A WORLD where customer service is a delicate art…

Where patience is tested, sanity is optional, and the phrase “the customer is always right” has become a matter of considerable debate…

ONE RESTAURANT…

ONE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE…

AND A STAFF PUSHED BEYOND THE LIMITS OF HUMAN ENDURANCE.

They’ve witnessed things no employee should ever have to witness.

They’ve heard things no civilized society should ever have to hear.

They’ve smiled politely through situations that would bring lesser mortals to their knees.

But this Halloween…

THEY CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT.🤫

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU…

A fictional fugitive who remains at large…ahem, Jimmy Sullivan🤨

A dinner reservation scandal that threatened the sanctity of matrimony… 👀

And perfectly respectable Italian cuisine promoted through increasingly questionable creative decisions… 🍝

COMES THEIR MOST TERRIFYING PRODUCTION YET.

A motion picture so disturbing…

So psychologically devastating…

So utterly horrifying…

THAT EVEN THE GHOST HAS ASKED FOR HALLOWEEN OFF!

⚠️ Viewer discretion advised. Especially for anyone who has ever worked in food service.

The Sauce Boss has declined to comment and Zia Rosa is currently attempting to determine whether one of the ghosts is single 💋 👻

🎃 NOW SHOWING.
Exclusively on your phone. Because apparently Hollywood wasn’t returning our calls.

Happy Halloween from the slightly disturbed, occasionally possessed, and criminally comical cast of Bertolone’s! 🍝

They’re cheeky and they’re kooky,
Dramatic, but never gloomy,
The whole damn crew is loony,
The Bertolone’s family! 🫰🫰

The kitchen’s full of drama,
Like an Italian opera …
Good Lord don’t upset Nonna,
The Bertolone’s family! 🫰🫰

Welcome to Bertolone’s, where the pasta is homemade, the personalities are larger than the portions, and the staff is just one complicated family tree away from having its own Netflix documentary.

Some families have skeletons in their closets…. We have a ghost in the kitchen, a witch in the parking lot, and enough questionable behavior to keep Zia Rosa in material until St. Patrick’s Day.

Happy (almost) Halloween from our beautifully crazy famiglia to yours! 🖤👻

Join us on Halloween for our 1st Annual “BOO-tolone” Event!👻

👻1st Annual BOO-TOLONE’S!👻

Join us on Saturday, October 31, from 3–9 p.m. for an evening of costumes, carbs & cocktails.

Here’s the spook-tacular details…

🧡Everyone in your dining party comes in a Halloween costume;
🖤your table purchases at least TWO entrées;
🧡You let us photograph your fabulously disguised selves for Bertolone’s social media.

When you pay your bill, your party receives ONE $25 Bertolone’s gift card to enjoy during November.

Now, a brief word from the Department of ‘You Know Exactly What We Mean’…

👻A shirt that says “Boo” is NOT a costume;
🎃A pumpkin on a shirt is just a pumpkin on a shirt.
🙄“This is my Halloween costume” shirt is simply a confession that you did not bring one.

Everyday clothes and your regular work uniform do not qualify. Come dressed as a character, creature, or something other than the person who normally answers your emails.

And yes, EVERYONE in your party must dress up. If five of you arrive as the Addams Family and Uncle Stan comes as “just Stan,” please have a word with him before leaving the house.

One $25 gift card per party…not per person, not per entrée, and not per separate check. Dividing the bill six ways does not multiply the gift cards. Zia Rosa has already done the mathematics.😏

👻Your gift card is valid November 1–30, 2026

🍽️Dine-in only.

📸Photo participation is required, including permission to share your party’s photo on our social media.

Baci,
Zia Rosa 💋🧡🍷

Picture it, Calera, 2026…

It’s almost seven in the evening, and Bertolone’s glows like a lighthouse against the approaching night.

Beyond the Italian garden, beneath the grapevines and through the doors, warm red walls welcome you into a little corner of Italy where the outside world suddenly seems very far away.

Zia Rosa may be the one who greets you like an old friend. She might even recognize you, provided she’s remembered to wear her glasses.

Then, one of our hosts leads you to a cozy table, and before you know it, the evening begins to unfold.

Our w**e list is rather long, and our menu, even longer. The only thing that rivals either is Zia Rosa's romantic history, and unlike our w**e, very little of it has aged well.

Dean Martin is singing like only Dean Martin can, and somewhere between the clinking glasses, the laughter drifting from another table, and the irresistible aroma of something wonderful coming from the kitchen, you realize you’ve stopped watching the clock.

Meanwhile, behind those kitchen doors, The Sauce Boss is working her magic, turning family recipes into little masterpieces. Yes, around here, we call her ‘the Sauce Boss’… it’s a term of endearment, although nobody's entirely certain it's optional.

Perhaps you’ve come from an impossible day. Perhaps you’re celebrating something extraordinary… or perhaps you simply needed a couple of hours when nobody wanted anything from you except to know whether you’d care for another glass.

And should you decide that Tiramisù or Carrot cake constitutes a perfectly respectable dinner, we’re certainly not going to judge…

well, not until you leave.

Whatever brought you through our doors, we hope you leave feeling a little bit Italian, a little happier, and considerably more like family than company.

Because some places are more than somewhere to have dinner, they’re somewhere to return to.

Bertolone’s is always here.
It just waits for you to need it.
