    This restaurant has created a new menu, with lower prices and simpler items. We like it. We hope this little neighborhood gem can thrive.

    Kitchen needs to learn how to drop orders where all the food comes together.

    Cute spot, clean feel, nice vibe. We got the arancini, cauliflower, a pasta and a pizza and everything was great. Cocktails were good too. All very reasonably priced as well. Will be back.

    It had been a minute since we’d been to Benzina and we were blown away last night! They recently updated their menu to reflect these crazy tight times and our family of five enjoyed a full meal w apps drinks pizzas and pastas for $50pp and everything was outstanding and delicious! Highly recommend.

    Consistently good on our second visit. The roast chicken is absolutely worth it, as is the cauliflower and bread course. Still have yet to try the pizzas, but they look amazing when delivered to other tables. Very noisy inside due to the narrow layout and parallel hard surfaces. They’d benefit from some noise baffles on the ceiling.
