Benitos Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Dinded in, Thursday 2nd time eating at this establishment. Lacey she made us excellent recommendations and drinks were never empty. She has waited on my boss and I the 1st time. Had fried calamari the first time, the second time we had the baked mushrooms, both were exceptional. Baked ravioli for me, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken for my boss. We're from California and we recommend this Italian joint to everyone we know that vists FL. Place and bathrooms are always spotless when we visit will be back again in October.

Found this place on a random search for "Italian food near me". What brief pictures I saw made it look more like a lunch spot, but once we got there, they have a nice evening dining area. I tend to judge Italian restaurants... in the US... by their chicken parm, and yes, I know. With that said, it was amazing. Two ample, perfectly cooked chicken cutlets, great sauce, and pasta! The garlic rolls were great, as was our server, Michael.

The dinner was amazing! We had the shrimp cocktail and the pasta combo! It was delishus and filling! A great restaurant for a girls night out! Also our waitress Felisha was very kind and professional and offer her favorites dishes on the menu.

If you enjoy Olive Garden, this is similar. Everything was average or below average as an experience. The bread (2 rolls) were decent, the butter that was provided however, was still frozen. There is an appetizer, similar to mozzarella sticks, and it's literally a fried grilled cheese. Except the cheese is mozzarella. You would think it would be good but it was just okay. Too much bread and the bread tasted a little burned. I've never seen that served before. The entrees were fettuccine Alfredo, one with chicken, one without. Both were good, not great. But I'd say on par with an Olive Garden experience. The chicken was good and paired well with the noodles. There was one waitress who was handling all the guests. I'm not one to give out criticism when it's obvious they are being overworke

Last night we had the pleasure of dining at Benito’s. Everything was outstanding from the food to the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant. The food….wow, wow, wow. The garlic rolls they give you to start your meal were so light and fluffy with just the right amount of fresh garlic and were definitely made fresh and were still warm. The calamari appetizer was so good, it tasted so fresh and perfectly fried with the right amount of seasoning in the batter. I will order it every time. The Caesar salad was fresh with just the right anmount of dressing and a great start to my dinner. We had the fettuccini Alfredo with blackened chicken and the frutti di marre. If you like seafood dishes the frutti de marre is definitely for you. The variety of seafood was just the right amount and fre
