    I was looking forward to trying Benzina after having read about it numerous times. Finally got to go and will say the atmosphere is novel and pleasing having previously been a gas station I believe. The servers and service were attentive and friendly. We both ordered a gluten-free pizza and were disappointed. They were the mushroom pizzas and the toppings were decent, but the crust was very undercooked and gummy, but I have to say they did the right thing and took off some of the charges on our bill. In general, I expected more flavor.

    It’s always fun to experience Benzina through the eyes of a new person. My first time guest loved the amazing food and of course the excellent service. Great to see all the friendly faces.

    The food was flavorful well presented and in adequate portions if you don’t mind today’s current high end smallish sort of portions. Had the risotto and pizza and both were excellent and unusual. The main problem was that it was a very cold night and the restaurant itself was quite chilly but more importantly at least one of the dining rooms Was exceedingly noisy. It would be a good move to either put some sort of sound muffling fabric on the ceiling or the walls or something to cut down on the noise. Anyway definitely will go back

    I never write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so because I am still thinking of last night’s meal. Incredible food, wine, and service! Been wanting to come here for a while and now I think this place is one of Denver’s best. Thank you for such a lovely establishment and experience!

    The food was really great! Our waitress was unfriendly, never asked how the food was, took us asking to bring more water, and the vibes needed some more love.
