Dear Benito’s family,
Always superb dining experience with the Benito’s family, to wines you can pick from all around the world to foods that you can pair with, and always excitement for daily specials that Mr. Benito changes daily. Thank you for serving me and my family for approximately 30 years.
Benito Ristorante is a true gem serving amazing food and fine wines in an engaging atmosphere. I have been going there for 20+ years, mostly for dinner with friends, and along the way I have celebrated milestone birthdays and occasions and attended wine dinners and charity events. Great, memorable times.
Chef/owner Benito (Benny) has a passion for creating spectacular dishes using only the freshest and finest ingredients.
The restaurant is seamlessly run by family members who act as warm and gracious hosts. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive and ultra polite. The bar is akin to a fashionable version of Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Yet welcoming to newcomers as well.
Highly recommend as a go to place to celebrate life's big moments or if you simply want to be pampered with a great meal in a pleasant atmosphere.
As someone who has worked in hospitality for over 2 decades with a diploma from a culinary school this restaurant was a happy accident.
I received a last minute lunch request from my boss traveling north and struggled to find a place with Benitos as a last resort. When i called you could hear in the background that the holiday season crowd was in full affect but they said they would be able to make it work.
Upon arrival we never felt like last minute guests and were given immediate service in their wine room with others making us feel special.
Fresh made bread and clearly imported top quality olive oil was just the beginning. They offer an octopus appetizer on the menu but we went with their sous vide octopus special with white beans that was incredible. My boss has some dietary restrictions that were accommodated without hesitation for their main and I had their Bistecca(NY Strip) cooked to perfection. I thought servings were very generous especially given the current market and finished with made to order espresso. Overall they took what was a stressful situation for me and made it seamless.
I should have known when driving up and seeing copper pots hung in the window I made the right choice. 10/10 highly recommend.
Da Benito truly impressed me. The staff made us feel welcome right away, and the food was delicious from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the thoughtful presentation and balanced flavors — everything tasted like it was prepared with care. This place is perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. Highly recommend!
We love Benny's, and when I say we it's been a family staple for so many years for my family and I. When I used to work in Union it was a weekly one for myself. Best family run business, when you walk in you feel at home. The service is incredible and time after time the servers never fail to give me a hug. The best eggplant parm and the best bolognese I've ever had. Please don't skip out on the delicious bread to start! From start to finish, incredible. If you are looking for a classy night out or a party in the wine room you won't be disappointed.
