Benvenuti Ristorante

We went for their winter Cioppino special. It was fantastic! We enjoyed the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce for an appetizer, split a Caesar salad and we both ordered the Cioppino. The broth was very flavorful and loaded with artfully arranged, perfectly cooked seafood. We enjoyed dessert too. They offer a nice wine list too. Everything was so very delicous! We drive over 30 miles just to go here. We have never been disappointed! It is a very special place.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the east bay. they're garlic bread is delicious and the atmosphere is vibrant. If they have lamb shank as the special menu item, it's a must get!

Food is a 10/10. Service is a 10/10 Atmosphere is 10/10.. definitely recommend and I’m coming back for my carrot cake. Absolutely delicious and amazing. Our waiter was amazing and of course I forgot her name.

Really good Italian food. Service staff at the bar are attentive and friendly. The wait staff for meals seemed rushed and under pressure, perhaps they had too many tables to handle? The food itself ranged from very good pasta to exquisite seafood. The side dishes seem to be prepared as carefully as the main course. Attention to detail by the chef is top notch! Ambience is lacking because the tables are close together and the restaurant is very, very noisy.

For me, there's no better way to describe their Linguini Vongole than PERFECT. The pasta and manila clams were cooked to perfection. The sauce was light but deeply flavorful. It's not a complicated dish, but many places don't do it as well as Benvenuti Ristorante. We'll definitely be coming back!
