Bene! Ristorante Italiano Reviews
Great service! They had my meat raviolis exactly how I like them. My husband said this is the best pizza he has had in this town. ♥️
The owner refused to serve us, embarrassed me in public.and made us leave because I have a medic alert service dog. It is against the law to not allow us to dine. He was rude and didn’t care. We will be filing a complaint with the ADA.
Love it. Pricey, but great food. It is very romantic and charming.

Bene! Ristorante Italiano is a cozy and small restaurant known for its spectacular food and lively atmosphere. It offers hand-made pizza cooked in a brick oven, with popular choices like the Portabello and Bacon pizza. The food consistently impresses guests, with many praising the delicious dishes such as mussels and the overall quality of the meals. The restaurant also features a wonderful bar with great cocktails, making it a favorite spot for many to enjoy good drinks and a vibrant vibe.
The service receives mixed reviews. While the staff is always available and helpful when needed, some guests have experienced slow or rushed service, especially during busy times. For instance, at times, appetizers or drinks were delayed, and one server was noted to spend more time socializing than attending to guests. However, a different server was praised for refilling drinks and clearing plates efficiently.
The atmosphere is lively and loud, which adds to the vibrant experience but may not suit everyone. The small space is tightly packed, with some guests mentioning that it can get very loud quickly. Some concerns were raised about staff attire and behavior, which affected the overall impression for a few visitors. Despite these minor issues, Bene! Ristorante Italiano remains one of the top Italian restaurants for its excellent food, cozy environment, and lively bar scene.
