    Scallops

    Rediscovering Bensi. Hadn't been to Bensi since it moved from the old ShopRite shopping center to its location on Berdan Av. I felt it was an adequate Italian Restaurant. Friends of ours told us it improved. We tried it. We liked it! Strike that, we loved it. I had the veal piccata to test it out. Tender, flavorful! The star were my wife's scallops with balsamic glaze. Knocked it out of the park. Angelica, our server, and Paul the new owner were top notch

    Tortellini Michelangelo
    Kelly K.

    Restaurant week brought us in for the first time and now it'll be a staple restaurant for us! Food: 5/5 - appetizer we got fried calamari which was solid. Meals we had the tortellini Michelangelo and vodka chicken parm. The portions were huge and the vodka sauce was definitely the best we've had in years. Plus the thin chicken over the rigatoni (we chose the pasta) was truly the perfect meal. We ended with a cappuccino (out of this world) and tartufo (absolutely delicious) Vibe: 5/5 - exposed brick and great decor. Homey feel even though in a shopping center Value: 5/5 especially with the portion sizes Service: 5/5 - our waiter was attentive even though he had many tables and the owner (?) Paul welcomed us in the beginning, checked on us mid meal and paused a conversation to thank us for coming in. Such a great host! Great people with great food that we'll definitely be coming back to!!

    Seafood Salad

    We came here for a 60th Birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. This place is BYOB and it was pretty empty that day which was nice. We had the thai sweet chili calamari and the seafood salad for appetizers. The calamari was delicious and so tender! Not gummy or chewy at all. For mains, I ordered the skirt steak with broccoli rabe and my husband got the tuna steak with tri color salad. We got our daughter the crab cake platter because she happens to like it. The skirt steak came out sliced already and it wasn't too seasoned but apart from that it was tasty. My husband loved his tuna steak salad. We happened to be in a large party setting but definitely need to come back & try more of the apps!

    My clients picked this spot to get lunch. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine with garlic and oil. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted by a nice man. I paid and he helped me bring the food to the car. When I ate I didn't particularly care for the minestrone soup because it needed salt but the pasta was really good and flavorful. I had a good experience.

    Raw chicken inside a Chicken Milanese sandwich ordered via takeout from Bensi on Berdan on Wednesday 11/20

    SAVE YOURSELF. Ordered a chicken milanese sandwich as part of a to-go order with my family. I had half that night and saved the rest for lunch today, Friday 11/22. The piece of chicken on this half was literally raw. And I do not mean that in the millennial slang way; I do mean it was *literally* uncooked inside. Pink and gelatinous and with the breading on the outside browned just enough (for no more than 30 seconds I have to assume) to lull you into a false sense of security. How busy could they have been on a Wednesday night to not take the ten minutes to cook this paper-thin chicken cutlet all the way through? Now I am playing a waiting game to see if I get sick with 6 days until Thanksgiving. And worse? This could have been either of my parents and it could have hospitalized them. We've been getting takeout here for years but we are done for life. Never again.

The menu is incredibly diverse, offering an excellent selection of pasta, seafood, chicken, and steak. The food is beautifully prepared. The lemon lobster ravioli was cooked to perfection with an outrageously delicious, perfectly balanced zesty lemon flavor. Even better was the Tartufo Risotto with black truffle--the rich flavor profile was incredible and prepared flawlessly. For dessert, the homemade pistachio cheesecake was decadent, velvety smooth, and packed with creamy flavor. We also loved the extra special Banana Strawberry Flambé, which was prepared tableside right in the intimate dining room for everyone to see! Our service team, led by Blendi, was on top of everything. They were incredibly attentive, accommodating, and welcoming. With great food, sharp service, and very decent pricing, this restaurant is highly recommended. It is an easy 5-minute drive right off Route 287. There is a small parking lot in the rear, plus plenty of local neighborhood and street parking. Reservations are recommended but not required. We will definitely be back!

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ The food and, more specifically, seafood was AMAZINGLY fresh and delicious!!! ++++ Grilled Octopus appetizer with lemon garlic butter was to die for. Octopus was soooooooo tender and the restaurant's signature lemon garlic butter was a perfect compliment to it. ++++ Surf and Turf was, once again, PERFFFFFECT. Order came with a (hugeeee) 12 oz. ribeye and 10 oz. lobster tail. Both were as good as it gets anywhere. ++++ Branzino with rice and fries was excellent! The branzino was extremely bony, as you would expect, but the fish meat was sooooooo good. Rice was very flavorful and the fries were some of the crispiest I've EVER had. ++++ Mint Lemonade was absolutely refreshing. One of the best refresher drinks we've ever had anywhere. + Spacious and bright interior. Bright blue and white walls and floors make you feel like you're actually in the Mediterranean. + Parking lot is right outside of the restaurant and there are 8 spots in total, but it's on a steep slope that leads up to the restaurant entrance. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The waiter was very, verrrry nice, but, for some odd reason, the side of rice for the Branzino came out 30 minutes after the Branzino arrived on the table!!!! This is not an exaggeration. The waiter kept promising it was coming out soon, but it just took longer and longer and longer to arrive till I was already done with my entree. - The restaurant automatically added a service charge of 15% for just the 2 of us. Typically, you see this for large parties, NOT for parties of 2. With that said, we were a bit surprised it was only 15% though considering 18% seems like the minimum these days. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined here on an early Monday afternoon from 12:15 - 1:45 and only when we were leaving did another party finnnnaaaalllly come in. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves until then. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Bottom line, the food is spectacular here. I don't use that word lightly. Our meal here was as good as we've had in a longgg time.

The restaurant was very busy, so we did have to remind the waiters a few times about our food, which is understandable. Food: The bread was fresh, warm, and delicious. The first round of calamari was hot, crispy, and really good, although the second serving seemed reheated and had lost its crunch. The biggest issue was the entrees -- our group waited about an hour for them to arrive - minus one star. In the meantime, we kept receiving bread and calamari, so everyone was already getting full by the time the main dishes came. The beef was cooked medium-rare but was unfortunately very tough and not tender - minus one star. The pork was much better and very tender. The seafood rice was really good, especially the delicious clams and mussels. Unfortunately, it arrived so late that the group was already full and couldn't enjoy as much of it. The sangria was also good. Atmosphere: The restaurant was especially lively on the weekend, and it was great to see the place so full. A busy old fashioned dining room is always a good sign and shows that the restaurant has built a strong reputation.

Mussels with a Vino bianco, herbs and filone toast for the appetizer and the Ricotta Cavatelli (alla mema) with broken meatballs and sausage sugo. Good grief the vino bianco/herb cream sauce on the mussels was incredible! Really! I could not get enough of it. I don't believe we've ever seen mussels on their menu, but man! These were phenomenal! The only complaint would be that there were not enough of the mussels. The ricotta cavatelli was also amazing... as are all of Viaggio's pasta dishes and sauces. Gelato stawberry/maple gelato was maybe the best gelato I've ever had. Not sure if they have this on their 'normal' menu, but if they do, I'm going to need some more. Sadly, once we 'dove' into the food... we forgot to take pictures. :-( Maybe next time! Just go. You won't be disappointed.

    We moved to this neighborhood about 7 months ago, and this restaurant--right at the junction of 202…read morex main rd--has been calling out to me ever since. Didn't really get a chance to visit until today. We got some good news, and I truly believe in celebrating on the same day. So we got ready quickly and drove 1 mile (haha yes, just 1 mile). It's super close to where I live. It was a cold winter night, and as expected, the restaurant was completely empty. From the outside, it doesn't look very big--but once inside, it actually is. There are two different seating areas and one separate space for parties/bookings or multipurpose events. The ambience was good, warm and inviting. We got our desired table easily and started browsing the menu. There were lots of options. we ordered: Kerven Mixed Grill - $60 It was a mix of everything, 1 skewer of Lamb kebab, 2 pc lamb chops, 2 pc meatballs, I replaced beef shish with lamb again, and Gyro The presentation was very eye-catching. The dish comes with fire in the middle and meats placed on both sides -- looked amazing. It's a lot of food for two people, for sure. Overall, the dish was 5/5, except for the lamb chops.They were cooked medium-well by default, but I personally prefer well-done. Other than the lamb chops, everything else was great: It also came with sauces, and they served balloon bread on the house, which was a nice touch. One thing to note: the meat gets cold pretty quickly, and once it's cold, it's not as enjoyable--so definitely eat it while it's hot... Overall, it was a nice fine-dining experience, perfect for family time and celebrating those small but meaningful good moments.
