    From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. Our server, Tim, was fantastic! Attentive, but not intrusive. Every dish we had hit the the spot., Polenta, Oysters, the special lamb ribs, meatballs, and pizza were fantastic. This was our first time here, but it will not be our last!

    Benzina is phenomenal. The restaurant is housed in a converted auto-body garage. The windows are still garage doors. The interior is really cool because the style is like a mid-century modern 70’s Italian design. The kitchen is completely open and at the center of the restaurant so you can see the cooks working their magic. I preferred sitting at the counter because you could watch your food being prepared. Lastly, the food was delectable. I honestly think the pizza was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I like this place very much.
