Benvenuti's Ristorante

Went to this restaurant tonight after hearing this was a great place to eat. Well....eh, it was okay. Chicken Marsala was not very flavorful (pictured). I also posted the arancini picture, because it was probably the best bite of the night. Had a bite of my wife's spaghetti and meatballs. It was just okay. Antipasta was pretty good. Beware!! There is a reason why they don't post the prices on some of the mixed drinks. To preface my experience, I don't hardly ever drink. I decided, "what the heck, I'll order one tonight." $18 for an old fashioned. It wasn't even near the best I've had. When a drink costs almost as much as an entree, there is something wrong. This place was definitely a one and done. Definitely wouldn't go back. It was disappointing. There are many better places for a heightened value and superior flavors.

Last night my husband and I ate at Benvenuti's to celebrate my birthday. When we first got there they were not busy. We ordered an appetizer which was good, then a salad, which had almost no dressing on it. We asked for some extra salad dressing, which didn't come for about 20 minutes, and we asked 3 times. Our entrees came, and we were still waiting on the side of dressing to be able to enjoy our salad. When they finally brought the salad dressing it was a tiny cup of tomato pesto, and the charge on our ticket, $3. At the end of our meal we ordered a side to go of the Truffle Fries, and waited at least 20 minutes. The waiter had told us it would be 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes said it would be right out, about 2 minutes. We waited a total of about 30 minutes for the Fries, which were okay. They should have taken them off our bill and the salad dressing. I spoke with the manager, and several of the wait staff during our evening. For $127, plus tip, for 2 pasta entrees, one of the least expensive appetizers, a salad, and a cup of coffee, no other drinks besides water, and a piece of cheesecake, that is a lot to pay. One of the best Italian Restaurants in Dallas, Kenny's Italian, the best service and most affordable upscale Italian restaurants anywhere has better service, and food, and is attentive to all their guests. Benvenuti's made no effort to compensate us for the poor service. The entrees were good. Shrimp and Chicken pasta dishes, $30 & $35, but the rest was just okay. And $3 for a tiny cup of what they call salad dressing, about 1 Oz, Sorry, but it is hard for me to enjoy Benvenuti's, and this is not my first time with this kind of experience.

We had a reservation around 5 on a Sunday although there were plenty of open tables. The server was very knowledgeable and pleasant the entire time. Other staff were bringing us fresh bread and refilling our drinks. We each had a glass of wine. My husband had Anthony's special pizza and I had the Bolognese which was so good!

We went to Benvenuti’s in Norman because it was our 17th wedding anniversary and we wanted to avoid having to drive all the way to Oklahoma City in order to have a fancy dinner. Benvenuti’s is the fanciest restaurant in Norman and for a good reason: the interior feels romantic-luxurious, the food is delicious, the menu options are numerous, the cocktails are perfectly mixed and the service is impeccable. We went with the idea of ordering the crab claws, from friends’ recommendation, but had to try the sea bass and the lamb chops, as they looked incredible. And they were great, particularly the lamb chops, the best lamb I ever tasted. Special mention to the bartender who made perfect dirty martinis and perfect old fashioned. These are rarely done right. We also thought the waiting staff did an excellent job advising us and taking care of us. Finally, the reservation process was very good on their website and we had several options for sitting: the bistro area is by the front door, on high tables; the main dining area is dark and romantic but we did not have a good experience there in the past, as the darkness played tricks with our eyes; there is a patio area that looks very interesting and definitely worth trying during summer days. We ended up selecting the wine room. The wine room is beautifully decorated and the natural light from the windows felt really comfortable. Definitely our new go-to fancy restaurant.

Very nice elegant upscale restaurant. Had dinner with some friends in the red room which was small more private with 4 tables, it was different but very dark. Later on they turned on the lights to brighten it up. Bruschetta was the best I've had that I was taken back. Different than anywhere else but better. The pizza was very good I would've ordered something more unique but she was craving pizza, good heat and flavor. The lamb was very good but the potatoes that came with them were out of this world I mean just phenomenal. I was full but wasn't leaving any potatoes behind. We had a show and we were running short on time I asked the waitress how long it would take and she said I'll ask the chef to work on our meals first and they came right out with them shortly after. Great service, great food, great ambience would love to return.

We made a reservation for a Saturday night and our table was ready to go as soon as we arrived. Food was delicious. I had the beef tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband had the lobster ravioli and we had calamari for an appetizer. The only issue we had was we were sat by the door to the kitchen so it was very busy and loud at times but that was minor. I would definitely recommend for a date night.

This restaurant is so good! Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. My husband and I had the Cacio e Peppe Arancini for appetizer, Lobster Mezzaluna and Veal Parmigiano for main course. All of it was so delicious and fresh! We will be back.
