Any neighbors who haven't been, you are missing a gem! Any in the metro area, it is So Worth the Drive. Forget about NY, Chicago, Detroit and all, this is Italian Pizza!

We had another great experience at Benzina. We had the margarita DOP pizza. The crust is so perfect that I could almost cry. The gem lettuce in the smoked trout ceasar was crisp and sweet and fresh. The flavors were amazing and the service was excellent.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Please help keep it open...it deserves to remain in the the Denver restaurant scene. A great vibe in a beautifully repurposed gas station (Benzina is Italian for gasoline), The staff are friendly and attentive and watching the talented chef Danny and his amazing crew prepare unique and tasty Italian food at the open kitchen is a real treat. Not your typical "pizzeria", and serving a very select/curated menu, but if you are looking for great food in an upscale, upbeat atmosphere, this is the place!!

Great service and a delicious meal. Liked the high top tables and view of patio, but next table was too noisy. Menu has changed since last visit..am looking forward to the next edition.

A+ across the board. This is the most authentic Italian food you will find in Denver. Makes me feel like I’m back in Italy.

can you imagine a "pizza place" that is 5 stars to a food and wine girl--in Denver. Food is really outstanding. Try the Ragu, caesar, and a marghartia DOP. Great wines by glass! Little neighborhood place with food that bests what i ate in FLorence and Rome of this type of food this year. Fun environment if you like local spots. Somehow not crowded. Expensive to some but worth every penny to me.

Wonderful experience went to sit in the bar and enjoyed some drinks, bartenders were amazing and their food is amazing
I love Benzina! The tagliatelle with squid ink, squash, and shrimp was too salty and too buttery. In my experience, authentic Italian cooking incorporates olive oil, and more simple flavors - the fewer ingredients the better. Maybe this dish is from an area of Italy I've not traveled yet ! Salad and roasted cauliflower were great. Still love ya Benzina

Very unique setting - the building is beautiful and well renovated. The food was excellent as well, the burrata was a favorite. There was a live band playing bossa nova outside, which was a nice touch. Great experience overall, will be coming back.

Good food and friendly staff. Second time to the restaurant. On both occasions we were celebrating special events. Both times we sat in the back of the place. Both times, the noise level was so high, we could not hear our guests sitting across the table. Last night was turely aweful. A group of 8 were so loud, that the two tables next to ours, and theirs, commented on the noise. We left and went outside, as did one of the other tables. The 3rd table of guest said they “were going to applaud” when the table of eight left. When I asked our server if anything could be done, I was told no. A special evening was ruined.
