Pappardelle Carne, Vitello Parmigiana veal saltimbocca alla romana
Nelson M.

The food, service and atmosphere never disappoint. We tried some specials and off menu items which were all delicious. As usual, Donny paired the meals perfectly.

The food was great just wasn't enough on the plate. They gave us a complimentary dessert because we were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary. Oh and by the way, the Margarita was awesome.

I came here for a date this week for dinner . I had never heard of this place until my date mentioned it . All I can say is wow!!! The quality of the food and service is phenomenal. It is 4 star dining and I was so surprised how fast the food came out . If you go , order the cheese tortellini appetizer . It is very rich so you can definitely share . Their pastas and sauce are homemade you definitely don't want to miss that . We didn't order dessert but I saw some that came out and they looked very appealing . This place is a game change to the area I hope they do well .

Molten Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream
Ashley N.

An old school Italian place that feels luxe. To start, we were given a bread basket with the greenest olive oil I've ever seen! The bread was not warmed but the texture was nice regardless (crispy crust and soft chewy inside). One of the specials for the day was oyster Rockefeller so we decided to try. It was good! My fiancé thought the toppings kind of overwhelmed the actual oysters but it was our first time having this dish so maybe that is the intention. For mains, we shared linguine alle vongole and a breaded veal dish. Both were generous portions. The linguine was cooked very Al dente and the sauce was delicious. The clams were on the chewy side, however. As for the veal, it was plated so that a salad rested on top of the veal. I thought this was an interesting choice since the heat of the veal wilted the lettuce almost immediately making it less enjoyable. I found myself wanting more seasoning - either more salt on the veal, a dressing for the relatively plain salad, or maybe a sauce? It was still enjoyable but I wanted more flavor. By the end we were stuffed but still opted for dessert. They unfortunately do not have tiramisu but we got a chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream which was great. Overall the service is good too.

Crème brûlée and latte
Yesenia R.

My friend took me here for my birthday and I had mixed feeling regarding the food. I don't know but it didn't feel like an Italian restaurant to me, or the ones I'm used to. We had the tuna tartar and it was the worst I have had. The texture and look was more like beef and the flavor was off completely. For the entrée I had the filet which was okay and my friend had a five cheese cheese pasta that she liked but I found it taste more like a Chinese dumpling with cheese sauce. The best part was the crème brulee. That was delicious and their coffee.

da Benito osso buco
Michael K.

I had high expectations for this restaurant, based on their reputation and their prices. I started with a special app ($14), a thin slice of roasted eggplant stacked on top of a tomato slice, goat cheese, and a few arugula leaves, dressed with balsamico. It was OK, but the tomato was not ripe, and the eggplant was dry. My entrée was their famous osso buco ($45). It was a generous portion, but utterly bland, even the sauce. It desperately needed seasoning: salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaf, anything. It was underwhelming. I make it better myself. Of course, I ate it, but didn't love it. I had the carrot cake for dessert. Obviously bought in, and served cold, straight from the refrigerator. I didn't finish it. The wine list is impressive, and the service was very professional. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, without being intrusive. I'll echo what some other reviewers have said. Come here for the wine, service, and decor, but maybe not the food.
