Pizzeria Trattoria Da Benito In Como

It was way back in 1998 when I first entered this pizzeria. I still remember that moment: it was love at first bite for a real gem, unique and inimitable. The legendary flat pepper calzone. I didn't go back for years. Who knows why — someone had told me that, after Benito's passing, the management had changed, even if they had kept the sign for image reasons. One of those voices that stay in your head without you knowing why. And instead, tonight, I ended up there by pure chance. And guess who I found, still in his place, behind the counter, in front of the oven? Gaetano. Him! The same hand that, many years ago, kneaded my first calzone. As soon as I took the first bite, it was like going back in time. The same flavor, the same smile on my face. Don't listen to the gossip: go back to Benito's, and prepare to cry... but with joy.

The best pizza in all of Como. A SHOW 😍🍕

A high-quality restaurant with delicious and authentic cuisine. The welcome is warm, and the staff is charming and very attentive. You feel at home from the moment you walk in, and you'll enjoy yourself from start to finish. A truly wonderful experience!

Really good pizza and friendly people, appreciate it! PS: Thanks for the „Peperoni“ :)

Good food, friendly stuff. Quiet part of Como. Positive one

A definite recommendation, but you need to make a reservation. Very good pizza, nice atmosphere, and good service even if you don't speak Italian. Highly recommended, more than reasonable value for money. There's a service charge, so no tipping is expected.

The pizza was delicious. I can't handle the beer prices in Como. €6 for a half pint is a lot, compared to €4.50 at home.

Delicious selection of pizzas and reasonable price. The staff were also really lovely - Grazie Mille!

I was there last night: the pizza was very good, they were quick to deliver it, at the end of the dinner they offered us a limoncello and a discount on the price! Excellent

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews? When I entered the restaurant, I noticed there are many families and more percentage are old people, I guess they won't know how to write a good review😁 The owner and chef are very kind and polite, they always smile to you, service is very efficient. This is an restaurant opened since 1986, but inside is renovated, ambience is comfortable and extremely clean, this is my first time not scared my bag and clothes will be dirty if they fall on the ground. Pizza is very delicious, they use good quality cheese and ingredients, the pizza dough is still crunchy and soft after it is cooling down. They offer the liquors for free, they are very good too. The price is very reasonable, I don't understand why there are still people complaining the price is high???? In Como you can find a normal pizza over 14 euro everywhere, but their pizza average is 8-11 ! I will go back definitely and introduce it to my friends. --------------------------- This is my second time going back to this restaurant after 3 years. Everything is the same as my first time, extreme clean, very friendly people, and the best pizza in Como. The tomatoes sauce is very fresh made and not too salty, cheese is very good quality. We also order the pasta, it amazed us, very flavourful and delicious. You can not find so reasonable price in Como center now a day. I will come back soon.
