As a solo diner-in dire need of sustenance-they accommodated my requests and satisfied all my taste buds beyond my widlest imagination. Chefs choice was impressive 👏

Our dishes were flavorful, ample and delicious! Our waiter, Johnny was perfect and the ambiance 
 from the dreamy playlist blending rat pack and Americas songbook - to the candlelit warmth in every nook and cranny 
 what a wonderful surprise to find as we passed through Milford!

I wanted this dinner to be special, as it was a send-off for a young man entering our great Army, but the restaurant made it anything but memorable. The food was -tasteless-: scant, dried vegetables; meat dishes served cold in the center; and a chicken parmesan missing the parmesan altogether with an underwhelming “chef byou” sauce. Even the deviled eggs (\$29.00!) were a disappointment, with only a thin sliver of crab meat that a grocery store could have done better.

For nearly $400 (including an automatic gratuity for 5 people), the quality was nowhere near the price. Drinks—both mocktails and adult beverages—were more like pop-style mixes than crafted selections. As for dessert, the restaurant offered only a single cupped portion with one spoon, placed on a crumb-covered table left from the meal before us. That lacked of care said it all.

The only positives: the hostess and servers were wonderful and the restaurant itself is beautiful. But for this important evening, I wish we had gone to Olive Garden or simply cooked at home. I actually opened a can of chicken noodle soup when I got home because I left hungry.

Sadly, this was a -one-and-done visit. Never again if I can help it.

I will never go back. They were out of house wines, out of most appetizers. We shared the worst Caesar salad I have ever had.
They serve the leaves whole so the other person gets no dressing. No extra dressing was offered nor pepper. The server was MIA. Dinner took Forty five minutes to come. I got the Gnocchi's in a cream sauce. It was supposed to have pine nuts, but it was covered with rancid sesame seeds. I did not take the leftovers home. We did not order dessert. If you want a great restaurant go to Legal Assets in Easton Maryland.

Yes, it is a pricy upscale restaurant but worth the expense. Menu is small with very varied presentations. We had filet mignon, mussels fra diavalo, 2 unique appetizers and 3 different cocktails. I do have an issue with the extraordinary overpriced cocktails. Although delicious, I cannot accept 20 dollars for a small cocktail. We met with Zeus, the remarkable Chef to discuss gastronomic dishes. He is awesome and extremely talented. The owner of Benevenuto is a delightful woman with sincere objective of pleasing customers.
Lovely surroundings which are not
an artificial feeling of Italian kitsch
or pretend an Italian bistro.
Go ahead, treat yourself to a marvelous gastronomic experience.
Service excellent.
A rare gem of upscale dining in strip mall.

The wife and I went last night for the first time and loved it. Everyone was super friendly, and our waitress , Forest, was beyond amazing.

By far the best Italian food I've tried in DE. The burrata salad is a must try, split a pasta, and bring the appetite for a main entree. Every option on the menu is a winner.

This place is pretty spectacular. The minute you walk in you feel like you walked through a Time Warp and landed in Italy. The atmosphere is beautiful, cozy and inviting. This is to include your seating which wraps around you. The service is spot-on and very attentive. And one other suggestion is take your dessert at the bar along with an after dinner cocktail. I got the chocolate torte with an espresso martini. It was divine. The bartender is incredibly skilled and a master at mixology. The chef has an incredible skill that could actually be called art. I have been three times and all three times have been stellar. I've yet to enjoy the outdoor space with the fireplace. But definitely will be on the list come fall.

We have been down in Sussex county for a few years and finally got around to trying Benvenuto. Coming from north Jersey I could not be more impressed. My wife and I sat at the bar and shared a Caesar Salad with grilled chicken and the Chicken Parm entree. Both were awesome. Extremely good Italian for this area. Dylan was an awesome bartender and the decor is great. Highly recommend.

We had Easter brunch at Benvenuto. There were 5 of us with an age range of 6 to 76. The food was buffet style. Ther was a very popular omelet station, fresh carved prime rib, peel and eat shrimp, baked salmon, assorted veggies, and a dessert station. We all had a wonderful time.
