A foodie must, if you like great food and lots of options dine here. Be sure to try the Pasta from Hell, a spicy dish and very savory. Enjoy an evening with friends or family and start your dining experience with a cold cocktail.

Absolutley amazing. Their cocktails are on point and their steak was delicious. Our waitress was steller as well and the front of house was very polite with us even when we ran 10 minutes late to our reservation.

Took my wife for her birthday. Everything was outstanding. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. In a short list of the best restaurants in the OKC metro area.

Truly delicious food! So many enticing options that it was difficult to decide. I tried a bite of every dish at the table, and I would have been happy to finish any of them. The same can be said for their wonderful cocktails.
Pictured is the Chicken Marsala.

The atmosphere was somewhat reduced by the tightness of the seating, with two chairs backed into the busy dining room, and another couple seated within arms reach of those sitting on the bench.
However, service was fantastic, and it was easy to hear my company at the table.

I recommend reserving in advance, as it was absolutely packed on the evening that I attended.

I have visited this restaurant several times, and each experience has been consistently positive. I usually order the lasagna, which is delicious every time. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The only potential drawback is parking, as the on-site lot is quite small and the restaurant is located in a busy area; however, additional parking is available down the street.

Literally the best steak I have had in my life. Cooked perfectly and so tender you don’t even need a knife.

Been waiting for over 20minutes for service, no water in our cup nothing. I since it is a form of racism towards our table, we sat down and a couple showed up roughly 15minutes after us and got there appetizer and water before us, and it was until almost 40minutes of sitting at our table we finally managed to get our order in.

We’re relatively new to Norman and tried Benvenuti’s for the first time yesterday (12/5) to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary — and it was truly wonderful! Everyone was so kind, the service was incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the veal pasta special and the Pasta from Hell, and both dishes were packed with flavor and incredibly filling.

A special shout-out to Eliana (our server) and Tyler (the manager). Your kindness made our night feel so special. Thank you for giving us such a memorable anniversary dinner. We can’t wait to come back!

The food was very good as expected. The pasta was one of my wife's favorite and the pizza was delicious as well. We want to go back again for another date. Higher price on the food but for the quality it's to be expected! We were very happy with our experience.

I visited this restaurant Saturday night, and while the food itself was excellent, the experience was a bit mixed. Upon arrival, even though I had a reservation, we showed up about 15 minutes early. The hostess pointed out that we were early and would need to wait—which was fine—but the comment felt a bit unnecessary and set an odd tone for the start of the evening. The dishes were truly impressive—so flavorful that even after waiting and having to take the meal to go, it was still amazing. The kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing.

Service, however, left room for improvement. Our server was friendly enough, but we ended up waiting over an hour for our food. When we mentioned that we had other plans and needed to leave soon, we were told our order had been placed after a very large party, which explained the delay. Still, it was confusing to see guests seated after us receive their meals first, and we didn’t get much of an explanation. I don’t want to assume the ticket was forgotten, but it certainly felt that way.

Once we asked to have the food boxed up, the staff did take care of it quickly. But even after the check was dropped off, it took a while to actually pay because the server disappeared again.

Overall, the food was outstanding, but the service timing definitely needs some attention.
