Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I am generally very happy we have this place but I have only "local, suburban strip mall" expectations- not downtown eclectic. Service has always been very good for us. We have probably dined here 10-15 times and did carry out another 6-10 times. We love the ziti, the seafood, salmon Romano, grilled or fried calamari, etc. One time several families ordered carryout together and were short one dish. We had a couple orders of that dish and plenty of dishes to share so it wasn't a big deal but the owner dropped it off at our back yard gathering anyway. Its not a delivery place but he delivered anyway. I sometimes find the live singing a little too much but it has been dialed down through the years.

Great sevice. often they do free samples of appetizers and sometimes.free limoncello shots after dinner. I was there on a sturday evening and they had live entertainment which was great! Not too loud or overbearing at all. Great ambiance. Dont let the suburban strip mall location throw you, this is a hidden gem!

Had what I'll call the "seafood diablo" last night . In a word AWESOME. Huge portion, piping hot, spiced to a 7 - 7.5 on a 10 scale as requested. Add vino and a couple friends as I did and you'll be in a great spot!

Was not impressed. This is no Italian restaurant. Everything tasted very watered down.

Service started out shaky, had to wait for olive oil for bread for too long instead if it being poured when the bread was brought out. By the end of the meal the waitress seemed more friendly, at first she seemed annoyed with menu questions and not very approachable. Food I give 3 stars. Not terrible but not special. My lasagna was clearly cooked in a large pan instead if individually baked and I had the corner piece which was charred. Not impressed. Also noodles seemed watery in the other dish. Enjoyed the atmosphere and live music though.

Not a place I would recommend for a multitude of reasons. One, the owner is rude and makes you feel uncomfortable by hovering around watching what you order etc.....the food is average at best.... I usually just don't go back and never say a word.... I felt compelled to share my story... Pass....

Delicious food, Martini's for $6 dollars or $5 Wines by the Glass, on Wednesdays combined with live music and great service ... what's not to like!!! They have a sampler style menu on Wednesdays too - so you can try a few things and share. Loved the Ziti Caterina! We joined their VIP Club and we've already received emails with coupons! This is a nice place for all ages...easy to get to, ample parking, relaxing ambience, clean, well lit, lot's of windows, upscale feeling - very comfortable. Try it for yourself! Live music every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Loved it!

Have been coming here for years, NEVER disappoints and a great friendly atmosphere! The food is phenomenal!

My first visit was not a good one. Vittorio, the owner, kicked out a couple that was dining there just for giving me a coupon to use. If you're going to promote your business by issuing coupons, be willing to honor them. I ended up not using it because I felt bad for the woman. I should have since I'm sure he probably would have kicked me out too and I don't plan on coming back. If the ownership treats customers like that there are plenty of other places to try.

There was a wait at Amore Mio so we tried DeBenedetto. What a mistake! The mussels had an odd smell and we couldn't eat them. My fish was so over cooked that it was tough. Ravioli was just ok. Worst food I have had in years!
(1)Holly L.
I will never eat here again. The service was embarrassingly atrocious! From the time we ordered, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes for our food to be served. While we waited, our drinks were never refilled (even our water) nor did Bill, our server, ever check on us. The owners stood by fully aware of the situation; they did nothing. One member of our party was so upset he left. This was truly a painful dining experience. When our food finally arrived at 9pm, the pasta was overcooked. I didn't even need to chew. YUCK! We also waited FOREVER for the bill. I'm amazed Bill has a job.

I am really impressed with this new restaurant in the area! Since my family moved down the street from this restaurant (it's hard to miss since it is part of a strip mall), it has been three different things--Cafe Clemenza, Capri, and now DeBenedetto's. I didn't care for CC, Capri was the shizz, but this measures up as well!! BTW, as they state on their coupons, they are NOT affiliated with Clemenza's OR Capri. They stand alone! This is also written on the coupons they give out if you join their page on Facebook, HINT HINT. My husband and I went for my birthday. We weren't sure we needed reservations, so we decided to wing it. As we were walking in that day, we saw a sign on the door that said that they were having $6 Limoncello Martinis. Sign me up!!! We were one of three tables in the restaurant, so we neednt have worried!! We ordered our limoncello martinis while my husband got a Peroni, and we were on our way. The coupon was $15 off an order of $50 or more, so we also ordered the calamari in addition to our meals. It was really hot, fresh, and the marinara that came with it was delicious! I got the ziti, which was amazing, but I forgot to order it without peas. Peas and I detest each other. But it was my oversight, so I tried to eat around them. If you are a pea lover, then this dish is for you. I could barely eat around them, really since the dish was RAMPANT with them! But what I was able to eat around was really good. My husband ordered the steak, and he didn't even need a knife to cut it--that's how tender it was. SO delicious! Each meal comes with a choice of soup or salad (I chose both! ;)). Their minestrone was good, but their pasta fagioli was different than every other I've come across. I wouldn't say I would order it again, that's for sure. The tried and true minestrone would be my pick next time (and there WILL be a next time!) Super strong drinks, attentive service, bread at every table, and amazing food. What's not to like!!?

This is our 5th visit.. all have had consistently excellent service. My wife loves the eggplant parmesian. My favorite is the seafood diavolo, but have also enjoyed the veal and pork dishes. The relaxed atmosphere is ideal for an evening of conversation with family or friends. Each time we have been here the owner has stopped by our table to check on us. Support these folks... they are great people!
(4)Alan M.
I have to laugh at some of the "reviews" they were not positive. One of them even suggests "another good Italian restaurant, Francesca's" which is probably one of the worst I have suffered through. DiBenedetto's is FRESH, truly delicious Italian food and the mussels are some of the best that I have ever had. The only complaint that I have, sometimes, is that the portions are too big. Veal is fantastic as are the fish specials. Go there and try it out, especially on a not busy weekday night

Went here for dinner with some family. The atmosphere is very nice, relaxing and clean. (See picture). They have large storefront windows so the lighting made the place look really nice. We had the: Minestrone Soup: Not bad, tasted fine. (Came free with meal) Funghi Ripieni: 4 button mushroom caps stuffed with a mix of sausage, bread crumbs and cheese and topped with a cream sauce. There's also a little salad on the plate with it. I would say this dish is a little salty for my tastes and at 10.00 is too pricey for 4 stuffed mushrooms...maybe if they were stuffed Portobello's it'd be worth it. Linguine Vongole (Red Sauce): 6 big clams and lots and lots of little clams. This dish was TOO DAMN SALTY! The portion was huge but the red sauce was really really watery. I would say at 18.00 this dish is worth the price for what you get if you like tomato seawater as pasta sauce. I would say that the best part about this place is the service. The people are really friendly and fast about getting you your food. My waiter kept refilling my tea when it was low without me even asking. The worst part about this place is that they will literally charge you 6 dollars to split an entree. That to me is a ridiculous cost just to put 1 dish on 2 plates. Overall I would say this place is not that great if you're a food focused diner. If you consider the ambiance and service very important then you might want to give it a try. 2 Stars for food, +1 Star for Service and Atmosphere, -1 star for crappy pricing. To give you some perspective on what I consider salty: I eat at Olive Garden and think it tastes just fine... so there ya go. Btw I posted pictures of the place and my dishes so check those out if you want to see what it looks like.

Another "Groupon made me do it" selection and I'm glad they did. Went here for lunch with a friend and we both walked away feeling good about the place. He had the ziti with crumbled sausage and peas - as another reviewer noted, there were peas aplenty and like her, if I try the dish I'll have to remember to order it without them. I ordered the gnocchi in vodka cream sauce and thought it was excellent. Sometimes cream sauces are way too rich - this was right on. I plan to return to DiBenedetto's again - well worth the visit with or without a Groupon.
(4)Bernice W.
I don't know why they don't have more business.... I think this is a gem. I got the farafelle con pollo.... its soooo goooooddd the chicken is tender, mushrooms cooked well, noodles cooked very well. I tried amor mio because it had a higher star rating... but I dont think people know about this place!! This is my 3rd time coming and it won't be my last! Staff is very accomodating and friendly.
(5)Ellen W.
Delicious food! My husband and I dine here at least once a week I love the ossa bucco. The owners are super nice and very accommodating.
(5)Karen K.
We went here for Valentine 'a Day. The waitress was either overworked or just slow.. We had to ask for drinks initially. She forgot to serve the appetizer. She forgot to bring a glass of wine. The food was mediocre. Overall a disappointing experience
(3)Laura K.
Not going back. Got there and decided to be seated in the quieter area since the entertainer was starting. Ordered a glass of their house wine and waiting for our house salad. It was obvious it came from a bag. It was lightly (and I mean lightly) drizzled with some balsamic vinaigrette and if it hadn't been for the blue cheese crumbles that we ordered on the side, it would've been barely edible. We ordered lasagna and veal saltimbocca and then we waited and we waited and we waited. Probably about 30 minutes. When it finally came, the veal was very watery and the lasagna was simply slopped on the plate. Both meals tasted ok not terrific. Then we waited and waited and waited for our check. Finally had to get up and go to the hostess station and get it. $75 later we were out of there. It was painful to eat there.

We finally went there after driving by it for the past year or two. It is in our neighborhood. We thought the food was fantastic! The bread was warm, the salad was dressed beautifully. I had the Riggatoni with the sausage and peas and I'm telling you........it was DElicious! My husband loved his meal as well. I would say that the desserts lack creativity, but we did have the cannolli and it was very good. We will go back. This is SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT over the previous place. We are so lucky to have this close by. Really wonderful food.

Good food. Wonderful service. Thank you

How do you say "fabulous" in Italian?? DiBenedetto. Beautifully decorated interior, awesome atmosphere. Live entertainment on the weekend. Had the Gnocchi Vodka Sauce (perfect with chunks of tomatoes) & Eggplant Parm (friend & I split both). Had a huge take-home box, and only stopped eating because I was so full! the homemade Tiramisu is a must as well. am definitely going back & telling everyone too! The menu has a huge selection of pasta, steaks, veal, chicken, tons of wines and specialty house drinks.

Where do I start. Do I start with being discriminated against or called out of my name by the owner? I purchased a groupon for my wife and I for valentines weekend. I called ahead to see if reservations were required. I was told if it were only two of us then we would not need reservations. I arrived at the restaurant and then they did not want to accommodate us because we had no reservations. My wife and I are African American. They sat us in a room where no one else was eating (away from the fun atmosphere). We told the waitress we had a groupon and she said OK. We ordered our food and ate our food. We gave them the groupon and then owner came out yelling at us and calling us names and said he would not honor our group on. He said we would have to pay full price. We were not about to do that. He said he would call the police and my wife told him to go right ahead. The police arrived and did nothing. We were called all kinds of names and disrespected. Never go here. We are speaking with a lawyer and new networks to let it be known to all. RACIST ESTABLISHMENT. We are contacting groupon as well.

Where do I start, the abrupt greeting when we came in was a bit much. There is a sign on the door that states you need to present any discount to the host. As I was telling him I had a discount through Yelp if I checked in, he interrupted me and started yelling no discounts tonight! I said ok, I don't like causing a scene and didn't say anything more, nothing like being embarrased in front of everyone. We were seated at our table and if I wasn't dining with friends who had invited us to dinner I would have left. Saying the service is slow is an understatement, we waited 45 minutes to order our dinner. The place was busy, but thats a bit much. I did manage to get one drink during that time, but that was all. Oh and bread, which was good. I had spaghetti with bolognese sauce, it was good but not worth waiting for as long as we did. Friends had the ziti which they said was good and chicken marsala which they said was excellent. So if you want a rude owner yelling at you and very bad service this is your place. There are better places to go.
(2)Megan O.
Enjoyed a great dinner here last night. Loved the Gnocchi with Vodka sauce. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. Service was great, very attentive and helpful with explaining the menu. The owner came to the table and talked with us for awhile to which was nice. Great atmosphere.
(4)Scott S.
I cannot believe how rude the owner is not only to his staff but to the people who pay his bills. This guy is an absolute pig who has not respect for anyone. He demonstrated this while my wife and I were eating at the restaurant this past weekend. The food was mediocre at best. I would go to Burger King before I ever go here again

I purchased a GroupOn to try this restaurant for lunch. I read some pretty negative reviews on Yelp so was a bit apprehensive when I went in today - the last day for my GroupOn. Happy to say management & waiter were very accommodating, even when it appeared I had printed my GroupOn w/o the bar code. It was still honored & I was able to call in the necessary numbers from home. I had the Insalate Vittorio with garlic bread. The salad was deicious with a great balsamic dressing. Lots of bacon, tomato, egg & parmesan curls & plenty to take home. Glad I gave it a try!
(4)Jill K.
My husband and I happened to fall into this place one evening for an early dinner. The owner himself greeted us, and we felt he sincerely appreciated us being there. The food was really good. I was going to just get a salad because I am vegetarian and also don't eat gluten products. I was thrilled to see that they had gluten free pasta and what a treat it was! Definitely give them a try. You won't be sorry.
