Happy Customers

"The best Italian place I’ve been to in New Jersey. It’s expensive but that’s to be expected for the quality of food they have and its mouth watering taste. My family has been here for the past 30 years and they have stayed true to the quality throughout. They have a great room for big parties and gatherings too which we used for many celebrations. The service is by far one of the best I’ve seen with the utmost attentiveness to you and your needs."

"My family has been guests at Da Benito for years. The food is consistently superior. The vibe is NYC. However, the true differentiator is Benito’s family! You are greeted at every meal like family! I recently had my best friend in from the Midwest. He had never been to any place remotely like Da Benito. In fact, months after our gastronomic extravaganza, Nick Carpenter still brags to anyone in DFW who will listen. You have got to try the octopus, radicchio salad and Dover sole. It’s a taste bud orgasm. God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!"

"Any negative review of this restaurant is from someone who knows absolutely nothing about food. Period. I dine out a lot and very much enjoy a variety of cuisines but I find myself repeatedly going back. Nothing in this entire area even compares. Service…food…wine…cocktails. It’s honestly as close to perfect as a human could possibly get. Their seafood is incredibly fresh, pasta is cooked Al dente and served at a perfect temperature for it to cook off over the first few minutes on the table. The thoughtfulness put into every dish (and I’ve had almost all of them) is really unbelievable. I can’t say enough about this restaurant! Best in NJ!"
