10/10Great little spot for our last meal in Rome, great service and food to match, the Risotto fruit de mer was out of this world as was to more simple gnocchi in ragu sauce. Would recommend highly

9.5/10We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We picked it because it was on the way home from colosseum, but it turned out to be a very nice dinner!

10/10We sat downstairs which had a lovely ‘wine cellar’ ambience. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were very welcoming. Definitely will return on our next visit to Rome.

9.5/10Really nice place! The waiters were really nice to us, the prices were pretty low considering it’s in Rome. The food was delightful and we hope we can enjoy it once more.

7.5/10Great place for pasta and pizza if you are in the area. We went for lunch but saw the place at night time and believe it's a lot worth it to go for dinner as they have a very nice terrace (if possible ask to be seated outside when booking). Service was great but a bit understaffed.

2/10The experience was terrible. The waiting staff was unfriendly and stared a lot. It was clear they did not want to be there and is creative a negative atmosphere. In addition to this, we are American and we were not given the same level of service as Italian diners. I ordered a Margherita pizza and my boyfriend ordered lasagna, we were given an American cheese pizza and a huge shapeless slice of lasagna on white plates. We noticed other diners (Italians) received beautifully plated food on elegant black plates. This was our first experience we could tell we were treated differently based on nationality. My boyfriend and I were dressed nice and felt the photos on the app looked amazing, we were mistaken. This was easily the worst meal we had during our two week travel across Italy

10/10We were a group of 8 and dined in the main room downstairs where there was a lovely atmosphere with very nice decoration. Smiley, attentive waitress, great food, an excellent selection of wines, nice service and you could see the food being prepared in the kitchen. Very good all round- bravo!

10/10Had dinner with friends while visiting Rome. Knew nothing about Benso before making the reservation, so was pleasantly surprised. All in our party raved about the food. Great service too.

10/10After seeing the Coloseum we reserved here for 6 people and after a short walk we had our perfect Italian lunch. But above all we highly recommend the Tonnarelli cacio e e pepe in forma di parmagiano. THE dish for every cheese n pasta lover. Incredibile. And the rest of the dishes pizzas and limoncello, wonderful. Check them out! V friendly staff

10/10Cute place with very friendly service and delicious food! I ordered the Cacio e pepe and my friend had the Carbonara. They also had some of the best iced tea we’ve had in Italy so far even though it wasn’t homemade or anything. Would definitely go back!

10/10I had a seafood risotto, it had lots of clams, mussels, king prawns and a langoustine and was so tasty! My daughter had a pasta fungi which was also lovely and devoured by her. We enjoyed our meals with a yummy pina colada! Staff were all very pleasant and service was very efficient.
