I discovered Benito long time ago while wondering around the the Ghetto area (shopping maybe?). Since then it has become one of my favourite spots for a quick and simple lunch or dinner. It is cheap, informal and the food is delicious.
And it is right on my doorstep, which is a plus since I call it my “foresteria”.
I went there the other day with two colleagues while attending a conference and they have been surpised by their meal.
Aubergine balls, pasta e fagioli and some fresh pasta with porcini mashrooms: all perfect. And as dessert a tiramusu that was a legend. The menu changes per season so go there often to try everything. And soooo cheap.
Service is quick and attentive, so you will feel welcome.
