About Bencotto

Bencotto is a cozy Italian restaurant located on Hanover Street in the North End, surrounded by a busy walking street. It offers a variety of traditional dishes and is known for its fresh pasta, especially the carbonara, gnocchi, and pink penne vodka, which have received high praise. The restaurant is family-friendly, featuring a kids menu, and the inviting atmosphere encourages great conversations among diners. Reservations are recommended due to limited seating, and the service is generally good with attentive and friendly staff. Recent reviews highlight helpful waitstaff and a welcoming environment, with some mentioning the large portions and hearty Italian food. While the food is mostly praised, some found the Bolognese sauce watery, and the basement seating can be a bit stuffy. Overall, Bencotto provides a warm and enjoyable experience, making it a popular choice for both regular nights out and special occasions.

We sat down to have our lunch , and everything was friendly and there was a nice vibe in there. We had a couple appetizers, which were good.

But my wrist was actually really burned from this. And I went home,...read full review

My husband & I had a lovely lunch there this afternoon. Our first time there. Will certainly be back. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Amazing! What an experience to find this family-friendly (yes, they have a kids menu thank goodness!), inviting atmosphere, social staff, and delicious food! Everything was incredibly fresh and the staff were beyond welcoming and accommodating. We felt like we were dining with folks we’ve known for years. The bruschetta was fresh along with the pink penne vodka and kids meals. We felt so full but beyond grateful to find BenCotto!
