Excellent service from Ryan, very tasty food

Excellent restaurant. David had the perfect recommendation for wine. Appetizer and meals were absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect stop for our last night in Rome. ❤️

Family atmosphere very well received by Dylan with good French

Very nice restaurant We had lunch there two evenings. The lasagna and tiramisu are delicious, as are the cheese pasta served in a cheese shell and the spaghetti with meatballs and tomatoes. Not forgetting the Hugo Spirtz with elderflower, a change from Aperol and limencello. Highly recommended.

great server very good I recommend

Dylan is very nice and welcoming. It's very family-oriented.

Siamo andati 2 sere di fila per fare un aperitivo! Tutto molto buono, Spritz fatto benissimo e anche lo spritz con il bergamotto che non avevamo mai assaggiato

Benso never disappoints — and that’s no overstatement. Each visit feels like coming home to something reliably excellent yet always a little surprising in the best way. This time, we ordered the chicken, pork, fish, eggplant and grilled octopus, and all dishes were absolutely exceptional. The chicken roll was silky and rich, with just the right hint of earthiness from the beautiful herb stuffing — a dish that’s indulgent without being heavy. The octopus? Charred to perfection, tender, and delicately seasoned — it’s a standout plate that reminds you why you keep coming back. But it was the dessert that completely stole the show: a ricotta and pineapple creation so light, fragrant, and uplifting it felt like a breeze off the coast of Maui. It was smooth yet vibrant, the creamy ricotta paired with the brightness of pineapple in a way that was utterly transportive — a bite of summer on a plate, reminiscent of a sunlit day in Hawaii. It’s the kind of dessert that lingers in your memory long after the meal is done. The location is just as special. Tucked away in a vibrant pocket of the city, (Piazza Cavour) Benso strikes a perfect balance between stylish and warm. The ambiance is relaxed yet refined, with soft lighting, thoughtful décor, and a buzz that feels intimate rather than noisy. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down and savour the experience. The restaurant location adds to the magic — stylish yet welcoming, tucked away but buzzing with life. Benso's atmosphere hits that rare note of relaxed sophistication, making it equally perfect for an intimate lunch or dinner or a celebratory evening out. The service is consistently superb. Staff are attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being overly casual — always professional. Even on busy days, the wait times are minimal and clearly well-managed. You feel looked after from the moment you sit down to the moment you leave. Benso isn’t just a meal — it’s a guaranteed great night. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, this is a restaurant that always delivers something memorable. Highly recommended.
