Bencotto, a local Italian restaurant in Little Italy, provides a mixed dining experience that is generally well-received. The restaurant is known for its excellent food and cocktails, with highlights including meatballs, pastas, and the amazing Gnocchi with Bencotto sauce. The pasta is made in-house using Somali flour, ensuring freshness and great texture. Customers appreciate the ability to build their own pasta dishes, like pappardelle in truffle cream and mushroom sauce or Bolognese sauce, adding a personal touch to their meal.
While some reviews highlight great service, there are mentions of slow service for entrees and echoey seating upstairs that can make conversation difficult. However, many diners have noted friendly and efficient service, contributing to a warm and lively atmosphere that is perfect for a date night or casual dinner. Bencotto can accommodate dietary restrictions, which is appreciated by customers, including those with celiac disease.
Overall, Bencotto offers a memorable dining experience with fresh, flavorful food that still feels approachable, though consistency in service and attention to detail could be improved. Customers also enjoy the dessert options, including cannoli, wild berries sorbet, and Tiramisu. Making a reservation is recommended as the restaurant gets busy quickly.
