Well I guess I should start off by saying this is a small pizza place., I thought it was a larger restaurant… Not… A bit small and you can definitely feel the heat from the ovens… I’m not one to complain about heat. But it was hot. Garlic knots were yummy… The pizza looked yummy. Dinner well we were undecided. Half of us liked it, the other half not so much. The red sauce is delicious. My carbonara sauce was runny and tasteless. The broccoli rabe was good, the Zuppa de Pesce was tasty, the vodka sauce just ok. Now we are critical eaters from New Jersey so take our review with that background info. Everyone else was loving and enjoying. I was looking forward to a Zappoli for dessert but they didn’t have any today Would I go Back? For red sauce yes. For pizza yes. For garlic knots yes… Carbonara… No. Seemed to be missing the egg consistency that I really like With that said. If in Venice. Go

Awesome! We had salad & lasagna. First they brought us garlic knots. They come in a bowl with garlic butter in the bottom. Delicious! The salad was also great. House dressing sits in a bottle on the table. Very good. I wasn’t that hungry by the time we got the lasagna but we finished it all & almost licked the plate! It was huge! I forgot to take a pic. We had the pizza on our 2nd visit. Superb!

Good food, fun family, Benny’s a riot and real entertainer. Food is good, portions great, new menu reveals recent price increase:-(. If you’re coming on a weekend during season, you should have a reservation. There is outside seating. Inside décor is average a best, but overall an enjoyable place.

Started off with garlic knots. They came in a bowl settled with sauce that I could have bathed in. So good. Then my vegetarian husband and I split a pie. Half cheese half pepperoni. Was so good! Amazing crust – buttery and crunchy near the end and two-hand heavy with toppings in the middle. Good NY slice in the middle if Florida. Almost bizarre:) Friendly staff. Quick service. More than your moneys worth.

Was excited by the many good reviews. Went in, stood, not a word from anyone. Asked if it was sit anywhere and received a no shake of the head. Sat and ordered drinks and garlic knots(VERYGOOD). I had lasagna. Lasagna was a large portion but very liquid. There was not meat and the house sauce was bland.

Certainly have had better. Only reason I went to have dinner there because I worked at Bada Bing’s on Maui. Heck I’ve made better Alfredo sauce. Asked for fettuccine and got spaghetti. Chicken was over cooked. Would not recommend!

First visit impressions: Small place. Big flavor. Spaghetti and meat sauce for me. Dinner mate tried the cheesesteak. Pies looked FANTASTIC. Will DEFINITELY return for one of those. Friendly service. Longer-than-average wait for food, but WELL worth it as food arrived piping hot. Server forgot the garlic knots, but I asked for bread instead and was amazed to bite into a hot crusty piece of the best tasting bread I’ve had in Florida. That, dipped in the delicious sauce… perfection.

Great Italian sub Pizza could have been cooked a little more. Not crazy about garlic knots. Bread is made there they say and it’s the best Italian bread I’ve had in fl will go back.

Large entrée portions served with salad and garlic knots.. Very good although I found the sauce on ravioli to be bland. Have had pizza three times. First two times it was done to perfection. Crispy, thinner crust and cheese melted just right. Last night’s pizza was crust was too thick and doughy and cheese was not melted. Looked like a big glop of cheese. I was hoping this would be our go to for pizza night but no. Staff is friendly and attentive with family atmosphere. Small restaurant and is generally good. I will stick with the pasta dishes.

I can only review their pizza delivery as I have never been to the restaurant. Oh wow! This is great pizza. Timely delivery. And very friendly. I am taking off one star because it is a bit pricy.

Are you kiddin’ me? Fuggettaboudit! This is a great small Italian place. I had the Zuppa de Pesce. Shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams on your choice of pasta(I had penne) and an arribiatta sauce that was deeeeelish! Others in my party had baked ziti and lasagna, and they said it was fantastic. Big portions, decent price. Sopranos type Italian theme. The next table over they had the antipasto for 2 that looked very tasty. They give you garlic buns to start and the salad was great too. They sell their own marinara sauce bottled, too. It was Sunday night and they were out of a couple of things, but a great place to eat.

Took friends to Bada Bing last night, a first for all of us. BIG mistake. Waitress: indifferent with a big ATTITUDE. She should have stayed home; we wished we had, too. Food: mediocre — pasta fagiolo very salty; fried calamari was tasteless and rubbery; chicken Marsala very sweet; chicken parm and ziti were so-so. The garlic knots were yum-yum; the restaurant might consider closing down and reopening as a bakery to focus on those. This place does offer quantity, but if you are looking for quality, «Fuhgeddaboudit.»

Benny’s is my absolute favorite for Pizza take-out. I’ll run by here when I’m on my way home from a shopping trip and grab a pie and the garlic knots. Love the garlic knots. The crust is really first rate and the toppings are quality. I’ve samples some of the pasta and it’s pretty good as well. Better than decent quality for the price tag.

Two words. Garlic Twists. More words. Garlic and Oil over pasta. Honestly, the Garlic and Oil over pasta was the best tasting pasta dish I’ve ever had, anywhere.

We walk in sit down and waited for our friends to show. Waitress sked if we wanted drinks right away. Yes she was awesome. But this guy walks out from the kitchen sat down at the table next to us started talking about food and I said someone told me this place has the best Calamari he proceed to talk about how to cook the calamari fast a not to Crispy. My wife who does not eat calamari because it is to chewy wanted it crispy. He said let me cook it for you. He proceeded to go in the back. Our friends show up, we ordered the calimari and it was the best calimari we have had in all of FL. My wife was eating Calimari. WooHoo That Had To Be Good. That you Bennie for you hospitality. We will be back.
