10/10We loved our experience at Bencó. Months before our visit, we searched online for a non-tourist place for lunch after our visit to the Vatican (it is a 10 minute walk). We ordered nduja, meatballs and Amatriciana pasta to share. It was all exquisite. The tiramisu was very enjoyable as well. The place is small, with very attentive staff. We highly recommend Bencó if looking for a nice place to eat in or near Prati.

9/10Good homemade food like your grandma would make! Service was excellent! I ate the cod for seconds and it was amazing, and I’m from Norway, homeland to the fish😍

6.5/10Beef tartar excellent- by far the best dish. Risotto very good but could be better with more nduja. Octopus very good . Squid tough and flavor did not relate well to pumpkin-needed more chicon to contrast with flavor of pumpkin. Chickory vegetable too tough to be edible. Desert excellent. Wine by glass good. Coffee good

9/10Food was excellent, every single bite that we tried, wide range of Italian wines.. staff very friendly but we barely manage to communicate with them in English. That was only minus. Nice neighborhood, very nice and relaxing atmosphere on terrace. Would recommend it absolutely

10/10Firstly, the service was impeccable, and, the area where the ristorante is in (Pratti) made for what felt like a more authentic roman dining experience when compared to eating in more tourist-heavy parts of the city. Second, the food was delicious and the portions were just perfect. We were pleased to have the opportunity to try some Calabrian dishes in Roma in conjunction with enjoying some traditional classics. We stayed for three hours, enjoyed a delicious bottle of Calabrian vino and left with a full stomach. Grazie Mille to the staff and chef.

10/10The restaurant’s modern cuisine was quite delicious and felt very refined for the price. It was a great Michelin recommendation and was a nice treat to spend our last night in Rome dining under the trees. Highly recommend the tasting menu.

10/10A little, very cozy family restaurant with creative dishes like in a Michelin star one. Could you imagine this? Me too, until I visited Benco today. From now it is my number 2 restaurant in Prati (after Pulejo).

4/10Came for a late dinner appointment and the place was empty then suddenly it was filed with a table of 20 pax (not a problem) but a table was placed next to me boxing me into the corner I was in. We paid 70€ in 2 (with 20% discount) for 2 starters and 2 mains and water. No wine no desserts, seems a lot for the quality of the food. The food was tasty but not wall balanced (lacking sauces, lacking the right consistency) and so was not quite refined enough for the price. I didn’t have a bad time but it was not a place I would recommend.

9.5/10Very polished restaurant, kind servers and delicious food. My only issue is the cars passing right by you when you sit outside which can be kind of annoying. Βut if you chose to sit on the sides of the platform or inside that shouldn’t be a problem. There’s also a piece of plastic to separate you from the street

4.5/10I’ll start by saying the Amatriciana was really really good, one of the best I’ve tried in Rome and the only saving grace for this restaurant. But the pork belly was so dry and our server acted like we were an inconvenience. We had reservations for 12:00 but when we got there, he said they weren’t open until 12:30. This is a contradiction of the information found in their own website! Was this the reason why he was so curt throughout the rest of our meal? Who knows.

6.5/10The service was very good and so was the wine. However the food was disappointing. The dishes were overpriced, especially the antipasti. The vongole pasta did not taste of much and the cannelloni were bland, and a very small portion,

9/10This restaurant is a litle hidden gem in the heart of one of the most central heighbourghoods in Rome. It's very modern setting is juxtapposed to a very welcoming staff. The food is extremly well cared for and of excellent quality, all more reason for its moderately-high prices.
