About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Benvenuti's is artful, understated dining as conceived by executive chef Anthony Compagni. We strive to awaken the senses by utilizing seasonal ingredients, both international and local. At Benvenuti's we continuously seek the finest selection of local and organically grown produce, legumes, and grains wherever possible. We also obtain naturally raised animal products to provide foods free of antibiotics, growth hormones, and pesticides. Benvenuti’s pasta is hand made in Abruzzo, Italy by Rustichella d’Abruzzo from the finest Italian wheat. Mangiare!

Fine food is appreciated when paired with fine wine. Benvenuti’s has carefully assembled an artful collection of boutique wines. Benvenuti’s offers more than 150 wine selection to compliment the menu of Chef Compagni, available by the bottle, half bottle, glass or our exciting wine flight.

Although our waiter service was good, he spent far too much time talking to people he apparently knew at the next table. Off-putting!

Excellent food and service. Noisy, though. Thought it a bit chintzy that dessert wasn’t comped given that it was a special occasion and the tab was large.

🌟🌟🌟🌟Overall, we would recommend. Food was outstanding and server was top notch. Some of the best traditional Italian cuisine we have ever had. Deserts are phenomenal. Kudos to the husband and wife team in the kitchen. ❤️ We will definitely be returning customers as it was well worth it. Get your reservations early would be my only advice to others, as early prime times aren’t usually available.
