Best Italian Restaurants in Benson

My friend and I were thoroughly impressed with our lunch at this Eastside restaurant earlier today. The food was quite delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the nostalgic atmosphere and music made for a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We had the perfect Valentine's Day experience at Renee's on Valentine's Day. For this special occasion, they required a reservation and pre payment of $100 for two of us, which seemed reasonable to me. Our table, a booth, was toward the quiet back of the restaurant and was very private, which we liked. The relaxing dinner included salad (he had spinach/goat cheese, I had Caprese), a main entree which we chose (chicken breast with zucchini noodles and sun dried tomatoes (excellent!), a glass of wine, and a dessert to split. It was a beautiful evening with excellent food, and we were reminded of how a visit to a small, quiet restaurant like Renee's feeds our souls as well as our bodies.

I wouldn't want to be a server at Piazza Gavi on Valentine's Day, but Jonathon was great juggling I don't know how many tables. And the place was jammed even at 4:00 in the afternoon. And noisy. But Johnathon remained fiendly, knowledgeable and efficient. And the food, as always, is top-notch. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for the Pork Fior De Latte, you will not be disappointed, and there's enough to take home for a second meal. Gavi is very much our spot for Valentine's Day every year.

Food is very well made and appealing. The salmon on polenta was very attractive and so delicious. Innovative dishes with interesting spice profiles. A joy to enjoy for a nice meal out.

MILES WAS A GOOD WAITER AND RHE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD!
