35 Best Italian Restaurants near Benicia

“Loved the atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty brunch!“

“Always enjoy Palermos!!! It is one of the very few excellent Italian restaurants in or near Vallejo. Always accommodating to requests. Quiet dining with excellent service. A must go to restaurant.“

“Just had my 3rd dining experience this morning and all 3 breakfast meals have been fantastic! As a person on the carnivore diet, I find it refreshing I can order an all protein meal and be completely satiated without paying an arm and a leg. Eggs were scrambled perfectly and the bacon was delicious. And who could have thought a simple burger patty could taste so good. Must be a magic griddle! Highly recommend! Oh, and service is amazing. My Americano was tasty!“

“It is such a beautiful little place. It has a cozy atmosphere. The food was fabulous. We had a party of 13. We had a wide range of delicious food. Lamb ..Chicken Filet Mignon.. Mussels .. Prawns... Sausage . with pastas spinach mashed potatoes green peppers it was all just so good. I totally recommend“

“Had a wonderful meal there. The chef is a lovely guy offering creative variety in his dishes. Fish or meat - both were delicious!“

“Had a craving for pizza; thought of this place and ordered a small Original through DoorDash. It did not disappoint. Substantial pizza for a “small” and the price. No skimping with the toppings and was exactly as pictured on the website, so no false advertising. Sauce was just right. Enjoyed the classic crust, too, but may try the thin crust text time.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant and would highly recommend it.

🍝First, the food was delicious. I ordered the Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine ($21.95), which was nicely cooked and perfectly al dente. The portion size was generous. The shrimp were slightly overcooked, but overall the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable. I also tried the Pizza Napolina (small, thin crust) for $21.95, and it was excellent. 🍕The pizza had a beautifully balanced, lightly applied red sauce — which is refreshing because many places tend to overload it. The meat, seasoning, and dough were all high quality, and you can really taste the care that goes into the ingredients.

🍷The restaurant offers a good selection of wine, beer, and soft drinks. The only downside is that they currently don’t serve cocktails, but the beverage options still pair nicely with the food.

🏄‍♂️The service was top-notch. The staff were polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server did a great job describing the dishes and recommending options, which made the experience even better.

💰Finally, the interior design is modern and very appealing. The restaurant has new tables and comfortable chairs, creating a relaxed and stylish atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. They also have a patio, which is a great option if you prefer outdoor seating.

🤩Overall, this is a brilliant restaurant with great food, excellent service, and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend visiting!“

“What a beautiful place. Angela went above & beyond to squeeze in 3 of us to see a great band, Grooveline. The food was outstanding and the drinks had a punch. Our server Barbara was amazing. The place was packed & she was really running all night yet had a fun, pleasant attitude. Everyone danced all night. Such a great vibe. I would definitely go again. I'll follow your FB page for the band calendar. Thank you again Angela!!“

“Tuna Antipasta Artichoke Torta Hot meatballs and sausage in sauce Pork & Beef Enchiladas Choc. Chip Canoli’s“

“The restaurant feels almost like a hole in the wall. The atmosphere feels very authentic, and very peaceful. The staff are amazing, and have always been so polite to my family and I. I have seen staff members immediately go to hold the door open for those who use canes or wheelchairs. Over the times I’ve been there, I had many of their items, and all of them are great. My favorite item is the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola. Overall, this restaurant is absolutely an underrated gem, and I’d completely recommend it.“

“Food is great, loved the chicken fettuccine, the bread. the place is clean, the servers are friendly and the service is fast. The price is just right. It’s my first time to be here and loved it.“

“We made our first visit to Ristorante Due Rose last evening (6/2/2023)--what a amazing dinner we had! I had the Linguine Tutto Mare (thin flat pasta with clams, squid, prawns, scallops and fish, seasoned with tomatoes, crushed red pepper, garlic and white wine.). I think the best Italian dish I have ever had (and I have been to Italy). The pasta was cooked to perfection--none of the flavorless stuff you might find elsewhere, and the sauce was out of this world. My husband had the Grigliata di Mare (Grilled scallops, prawns, calamari, parsley, lemon sauce, roasted potatoes and arugula salad) and also raved about it. Great service and reasonable prices. 💞We will definitely be back!“

“Just visited the location in Vallejo. Our server Dana was super sweet and attentive. We probably spent less than 1h in the restaurant. We were seated right away, food came fast, warm and delicious. All the other employees were also super friendly. It was my husband’s birthday so we got a free dessert to take home. Very affordable and delicious. Will definitely come back“

“So good tried a classic & a square pizza Recommendation from our Genna server. Definitely be back soon.“

“Food delicious our server Bret is a nice person“

“Pizza was fantastic as well as the custom garlic bread pizza. Food is almost as good as the staffs friendliness and customer service.“

“When you enter the expectations are high. It's clear that someone put effort into the decoration. Unfortunately there are a lot of challenges. First, the limited parking doesn't make it any easier than heading downtown. Second, being next to the highway you are blasted with headlights every 90 seconds. The service was almost too prompt...we weren't being hurried though. The eggs in the salad were over cooked and the portions were fine. As a local walking distance place this is probably fine but wouldn't recommend as a destination.“

“Food is Delicious! Atmosphere is very nice and friendly! Try the Lemon Cake!!!!! This Place is everything you want in a Family Style Pizzeria!“

“all I can say is wow!! the best Italian food I e ever ate!! and they were kind enough to add a half a loaf of bread and a extra slice of pizza to my order I definitely recommend this wonderful place when your around town , thank you for your food !!!“

“Delicious pizza, great salad, and outdoor seating. Our favorite pizza place!“

“The best in whole area... love their veggie placido Domingo! Special mayo is perfect. The pastrami is tasty also. Never change... not sure if you can get any better?“

“The first time you were able and you had to do something about the situation you had with your family you had a good relationship and I think that you had to do that with the kids because I know that you had a bad experience and you were trying and I think you had a great ? and you were right to say it but I don’t know what to tell him about it and you have a lot more than that and you know I’m“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“

“Walk in & you will know! Food is delicious“

“Just tried Tandoori Pizza for the first time and were blown away. The pizza crust is delicious, not too much sauce on the pizzas, and packed full of flavor.

We tried the Tandoori Chicken pizza and the Butter Chicken pizza. They smelled and tasted incredible. My husband said it was genuinely the best pizza he has had in years. So different yet made complete sense. This is our new pizza place now.“

“Some of the best pizza in the bay area. Excellent sauce. The dough, cheese sauce, balance is really good. They also have specials where they introduced different types of pizza that are not common to your typical American consumers. Some of the best pizza I have ever had.“

“Always delicious! And they have gluten free pizza for my son.“
