Benny Rappa the Italian Fisherman

If you’re looking for a delightful dining experience that marries the charm of an Italian eatery with the laid-back vibe of a beach restaurant, Benny Rappa The Italian Fisherman should be on your list! From the moment we arrived—despite the parking lot being full (a good sign!)—the short walk from the next block just built up our anticipation. The atmosphere here is unique. You get the cozy, welcoming feel of an Italian restaurant, but there’s also a breezy, seaside energy that makes it perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were outstanding, attentive and genuinely friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed. Start your evening with a Blue Marlin martini. The flavor is both refreshing and surprising, making it a standout cocktail that sets the tone for the meal. For dessert,

Was recommended Benny Rappas by a friend for dinner and wasn’t disappointed. First walking in the atmosphere is awesome. Elegant and relaxing. The menus are lit up so you can see them perfectly the lights on the table are tiny lamps. The service was great and friendly. The food came out quick and hot. The menus changes weekly which is a great way to keep things fresh. The only downside I would say was the dish I got didn’t say anything about being hot or spicy and it had jalapeño in it. So for someone that doesn’t like spice I can see them turning away. Other than that I recommend coming here!

My family has been a huge fan of Benny’s since he owned Benny Rappa’s years ago, so we were beyond excited to have him back with a brand new restaurant! We got a reservation as soon as possible, and our experience truly exceeded our expectations. It felt like a family reunion walking in and being greeted by Benny and his wife, and that was just the beginning of our wonderful experience. The decor was cozy, with a beach cabin feel that was classy yet fun. We started off with the red sangria which was very refreshing after a day on the beach, followed by the crab cakes, calamari, and garlic bread as appetizers. All were delicious, but I have to shout out the calamari as it was truly the best I’ve ever had-fresh, not chewy or greasy, lightly battered, with a sweet chili sauce which complemen

Exceptional food! Very quaint and pleasing atmosphere. Friendly staff. The owner took time to introduce himself and was informative and pleasant to speak with. Definitely a place to experience and return to. This place will stay on our list when traveling in the area.

3rd time visiting Benny Rappa and the first 2 were outstanding for the food and excellent service. In town briefly last week and stopped by and had the seafood lasagna my favorite but was really disappointed. Tasted like it was days old and probably frozen. Maybe it was a bad night but in restaurant business you don't get many changes to make a good impression
