Ristorante da Benito

Excellent dinner there are quality and fair price. Dinner for two with a bottle of house white wine, among other things, two first courses, one second for two, but believe me for one it was a lot of stuff, a strictly fish appetizer for only 75 €. Excellent service super friendly staff all in uniform. How to eat at home better and mostly served. Great we will be back

The restaurant looks good: it is clean, tidy and luxurious. As is right, they check the green pass at the entrance. A lot of fish is displayed on the ice floe. A really pleasant surprise: after so many years, here is the legendary Ruggero, ruling the room, with the skill of a professional in the sector. Nice to see him again and he's in great shape. In a certain sense, Ruggero is the soul of the restaurant, its history, its life. Great ! We had a very good lunch: accurate service and good courses, not seen everywhere; excellent salmon with hot croutons and butter, excellent artichoke and parmesan salad, superb scallops in white wine and, decidedly of a high standard, the Voronoff-style fillet. I tried the carafe wine (not expensive, but good), Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Positive conclusion with the desserts. Quiet environment: Saturday for lunch. Glad to pay the fair. What more do you want? The BENITO restaurant awaits you and the wise Sauro can advise you well in the dining room. Well done ! Soon !

Delicious mixed fish appetizer. The first courses are all very good .. The only trick ... Perhaps the spaghetti still needed a couple of minutes of cooking. I'll be back ... They are very kind .. The restaurant might need a refresh of the furnishings ... But vintage is cool today.

After a few years we returned to dinner with friends in one of the historic fish restaurants (active since 1966!) In Turin, which also offers some land dishes on the menu and others to order (such as paella). We were (there were 4 of us) in the lower room, carefully followed by the nice and very kind waiter Ruggero, who also advised us and provided explanations on the menu and various dishes. We all opted for: 4 various starters of house fish (€ 60) consisting of 4 tastings: Seafood salad, really delicious; Monkfish meatballs and artichoke sauce, tasty and refined; Sardines in saor and sweet and sour salmon and baby octopus soup ... definitely a nice "excursion" to try more entreè Then there are those who shared 1 plate of spaghetti (red) with seafood (€ 13), excellent cooking and generous portion, one of the first courses offered and those who ordered the Turbot fillet with herbs (€ 22), delicate and served with potatoes in sheets absolutely an excellent second. We again ordered a tasty mixed shellfish soup (€ 14) and 3 scallops au gratin (€ 13.50) tasted as a main course. Full and very satisfied (the portions are on average generous ... watch out when you order) we wanted to taste one of the desserts, a good apple strudel (€ 4.50) served with cream ice cream. To accompany the dinner 2 bottles of water (from cl. 0.75 / € 5), 2 bottles of white wine (€ 38), Sauvignon Prail Doc Kellerei Cantina, excellent South Tyrolean white with floral scents and slightly fruity aftertaste, a coffee and a myrtle for a total of € 180, that is € 45 / person, the right price for what is tasted and widely appreciated. The menu offers different types of fish, some dishes are traditional, but others are decidedly less frequent (Goldfish, Amberjack, Canadian Lobster, Turbot, Lobster and Monkfish) in many fish restaurants in the city. The prices are medium-high (appetizers € 8-20, first € 13-22, main courses € 22/50, side dishes € 3.50 and dessert € 3-6), but congruous with what is offered and then the quality must be recognized and paid. Consider that an average dinner (obviously also depends on what you choose to drink ...) costs € 40-50 per person (2 courses and 1-2 glasses of wine). Given that the environment needs to be renewed (even if it is perhaps a peculiarity of the place that deliberately wants to "preserve" the image of a "retro" restaurant) and the presentation of the dishes is essential (therefore a lot of substance and little form ...) do not expect wonders from starred restaurants or Cracco-style dishes ... this is not the place .... Finally, the lack of certain (fish) dishes on the menu is also due to the availability of the fresh catch of the day which, as is well known, is not guaranteed by the sea ... it depends on various factors ... It seemed fair to say this because, in my opinion notice, indicates the correctness of the restaurateur in offering his customers good / excellent raw material ... fresh and not frozen fish ... As for me .... We will return and recommend to everyone this restaurant with a pleasant 70s atmosphere, but which after more than 50 years and the generational "passage" retains its soul as an excellent "port" for tasting fresh, well-cooked fish and with a very courteous, attentive, welcoming and friendly service. Thanks and see you next time !!!
