We ate at Benito One today and it was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken parmigiana was hands-down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The Alfredo was incredibly rich and decadent, the kind you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. What truly set the experience apart was the service. It was personal, warm, and genuinely amazing — you can tell they care deeply about their guests. From the food to the atmosphere to the hospitality, everything was top-notch. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend Benito One to anyone looking for an outstanding meal.

Traditional Italian restaurant. The pastas tasted amazing and the price is fair. The waiter was awesome, and super nice. The food is made fresh, and comes very hot. We ordered Veal Parm (comes with pasta), penne vodka and gnocchi carbonara. Their carbonara sauce is very well known, and delicious! Strongly recommend!!!

Went to the iconic San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy (our third time) and had such a fun time. We needed to get a snack (right away) and opted for a pizza and a glass of wine. So many places to choose from. Glad we chose Benito One. Pizza and wine did not disappoint. Friendly and fast service. We are New Yorkers and this simple pizza was PERFECT. Enjoy people!

It was a bit of a surprise to find this place, cause usually it’s always a tourist trap. But this place is SO GOOD! While the place is very tiny, is so cozy, Italian and magical. The food served is truly Italian with such nice flavors and quality ingredients. The atmosphere is great with great music and big windows to little Italy. The service is great with excellent recommendations. Definitely would recommend to try the chicken piccata, the Alfredo and of course a delicious Tiramisu!!! Loved it!

Let me start by saying this ruined me to any other place. I had lasagna, and it was incredible. The service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect. Had some great classics playing. I tried some of the other dishes, and they were incredible as well. The chicken parmesan was some of the best I have ever had. Don't pass this place up. It has history, great food, and great service. See you all next trip.
