On our way exploring the Boston area, we stopped in Benevento's for lunch. The place was pretty busy, but the hostess managed to find us a table in a small space that barely accommodated the 4 of us, but at least we got seated. After bringing us warm bread and butter, the waitress took our order. I chose the fig... More

Ask for Rebecca. She is hilarious! And the pizza was seriously amazing. We ordered the Ben Cotto, which was lighter than air and cooked to perfection. Delicious!

I've been to several north end restaurants and this one doesn't have the best food- but it is good and delicious after a day of walking around. They had gluten free options and had fast, friendly service. A patron even broke into operatic song twice. Very fun and unpretentious.

Had both a pasta dish and pizza. Everything was delicious. Very crowded on the night before the marathon and they handled the crowd very well.

I highly recommend the eggplant rolantini. Crisp fried eggplant wrapped around seasoned ricotta it was delicious. Had the eggplant & chicken parm dinner -it was wonderful. Met the owner who is a great guy. Very friendly and genuine. Mad atmosphere on a Saturday night the weekend of the Marathon, but a great time.

Met out of town family visitors for dinner at Beneventos - their choice. Eight of us and none had been there before. We had reservations on a Friday evening and were seated immediately - which was impressive. Table was in the basement next to the kitchen which was a little dreary, but to be fair it is small place and... More

I went with my family yesterday to Benevento's. We were just looking for some simple pizza in a casual environment. We were 'recruited' off the sidewalk, a sure sign that perhaps I should have kept walking. We were told they had tables, but when we followed the host through the restaurant, we were seated in the loading dock...literally. There was... More

We had a reservation at Al Dente next door, but was still a wait. Since Benevento's has same management, they offered to seat us right way. I was a little reluctant, but turned out to be a great move. The Mussels Marinara was one of the best dishes I have ever had. A HUGE serving of mussels, with a wonderful... More

Went here after a Bruins game. We were actually looking for a different restaurant, couldn't find it (this happens to me a lot in the North End!) and stopped in because they serve pizza as well as other dishes & I had a picky kid with me who'll only eat pizza. Food ( chicken, asparagus, tomato & smoked mozzarella over... More
