Fine food is appreciated when paired with fine wine. Benvenuti’s has carefully assembled an artful collection of boutique wines. Benvenuti’s offers more than 150 wine selection to compliment the menu of Chef Compagni, available by the bottle, half bottle, glass or our exciting wine flight.

    Excellent food and service. Noisy, though. Thought it a bit chintzy that dessert wasn’t comped given that it was a special occasion and the tab was large.

    🌟🌟🌟🌟Overall, we would recommend. Food was outstanding and server was top notch. Some of the best traditional Italian cuisine we have ever had. Deserts are phenomenal. Kudos to the husband and wife team in the kitchen. ❤️ We will definitely be returning customers as it was well worth it. Get your reservations early would be my only advice to others, as early prime times aren’t usually available.

    It took 45 minutes to get our salads and 1 hour and 15 minutes to get most of our main dishes, but one of the dishes came out 1 hour and 25 minutes after everyone else's. The waitress never apologized for the delay. Then the food was pretty mediocre. Disappointing dinner to say the least.

    Food was excellent. My husband had the bone-in ribeye and I have the filet. My mom had the lobster fazzoletti. We all cleaned our plates. Wine list is extensive and excellent though slightly overpriced. For being an Italian restaurant- the steaks were fantastic.

    Always amazing food and and service. I dare say that it’s the best Italian in the OKC metro area. Worth the drive for us down to Norman. Excellent wine selection by the glass, and by the bottle. A nice mix of higher end meals and old staples. I will say our 7 year old loved it, but there wasn’t a child menu or kid favorites like Alfredo. But she got the sphagetti and meatballs and was very happy with her selection. Pizza is also a good choice for the kiddos.

    Middle of the road on everything. Weak under saturated Caesars, decent meatballs, frozen in a box calamari, veal parmigiana was very spicy, tiramisu was served in a cup and lady fingers were very stale, they had about 50 people crammed in an area for maybe 30. I dont understand how this place is rated so well. We drove from Edmond to try it but I wished we had just gone to Pepperoni Grill because it's much closer and significantly better.
