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.
