Text - So. Much. Potential. With a long history in the food service industry, I am always sure to give a restaurant the benefit of the doubt, but Bakersfield has swung very hard, come very close, and missed. \n\nI've had a taco before, believe it or not, and this particular taco was certainly above average. The problem here lies with the atmosphere and service. My party placed their orders... Actually... Screamed their orders over the music (which was cranked to 11). When the food finally arrived, it was presented on one large tray and left to us to decipher what was what and whose was whose. \n\nI didn't mind the food, but the margarita was pretty weak, and the overall experience lacked polish and enthusiasm.\n\nI wish I could say I'll be back, as the restaurant's concept and mission are something I look for in a dining experience. However, the overall experience was a huge letdown... My future Mexican outings will be to Paco's Tacos.

Text - Ordered pizza for delivery.  Good observances:  Pizza arrived within specified time limit and the delivery person was very friendly and polite.  Large pizza was huge.  Not-so-good observances:  pizza must have been tilted at at some point between pizzeria and our place.  Half the cheese and topping had slid to one end if the box and was stuck to the box. Sausage was not very good.  \n\nCheese was ok.  Crust was ok.  Very thin crust that you really need to fold and eat that way.  I really did not enjoy this pizza.  Would not order again.

Text - Quite yummy.  And a great lunch spot.  I went at 11:30 to avoid the crowds and I'm glad I did.  By the time I left at almost 12:30 it was a 30 minute wait.  \n\nI tried their traditional pizza with their thick crust wheat pizza crust.  Since their motto is \""In crust we trust\"" I figured I'd see what they could do with a less traditional crust.  I was pretty darn impressed.  I was also a big fan of their House salad dressing - though the boring iceberg lettuce I was eating it on could have used quite a bit of improvement.  The House dressing was a tomato based blend with spices that served as the perfect introduction for their pizza sauce.  I tasted garlic, pepper and basil and maybe a hint of oregano.  I absolutely suggest that if you get one of their basic salads.\n\nI saw someone going at a spinach salad and it almost made me wish I got that instead of the pizza.  (HA!  Ok, not quite, but it looked really good.)\n\nIt's not the best value for a single diner for lunch as a drink, side salad and personal pizza cost $11.  But what I got was pretty good.  I might be tempted to go again w/ friends, go in on a large pizza and share one big spinach salad.  Guessing I'd get quite a bit more value that way - while also balancing that healthy/not healthy thing a bit better.  \n\nI wouldn't drive across town for it, but it's a great spot to run if you're in the area.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Dined here once and will never return. While the food was passable, (nothing outstanding but not slop either) the prices and the wait staff will keep me from eating at this restaurant again.\n\nOur pizzas were pretty small and did not contain many ingredients. I understand they serve margherita pizzas, but all the other times I've eaten them I left the table feeling full. This was not the case here. The crust was thin and took up a good portion of the pizza. We wondered why they only sauced about 50% of the pizza. The cheese was tasty, but I would have liked more than a few little pieces on the pizza.\n\nFor such a small pizza, the cost was certainly not worth it. I would have no problem if the food was outstanding, but it was just an average pizza. Many other smaller pizzerias in town offer better tasting and larger pizzas for less money than Settebello.\n\nOur waiter was anything but approachable, making it seem like a chore to get a place setting for one person in our group. Throughout the meal, our waiter was rarely seen. He basically took our order and gave us the check. The server who brought our food out was the one to check on us!\n\nI usually try to keep non-food related criticisms to myself, but this restaurant had too many strikes against it not to mention the negatives. I would only dine here again if someone else paid for it, and even then, I would make sure to have a place lined up for food later on.
