    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.

    Excellent date spot. Pizza dough and bread for the tartare were phenomenal. Tagliatelle pasta was really flavorful. Arincini was like a mac and cheese ball, a fun twist. Service was outstanding and mocktails were great. Definitely worth a visit!

    Our absolute favorite restaurant for a date night! Everyone is so warm, welcoming and attentive! The food (which the menu seasonally changes) is always so delicious! My husband and my favorite spot to sit is the food bar so we can watch the action in the kitchen!

    Coming in from the cold and sitting by the warming flames from the pizza ovens was fantastic. Especially when there's a freshly made cocktail in front of you. The service is amazing, matched by the delicious food. I am looking forward to the nice weather in 50 days when the bocce ball courts will be open!!

    Benzina exceeded our expectations for date night! We started with the arincini and homemade bread, both of which were excellent. We then got the chicken and steak entree, and they were phenomenal! Full of flavor and delicious. I’m very picky about steak and this one exceeded all expectations! We also had some cocktails which were equally delicious. We’re so glad we found Benzina and can’t wait to return!
