text: Wow so I was not expecting to like Benvenutos as much as I did It has a reputation for being overpriced and stuffynnI could not disagree more The atmosphere is friendly yet private The restaurant has cute alcoves with booths that allow to have a private dinner with your significant other At the same time it is bright and clean inside nnMy husband and I went in there for a couple of drinks and appetizers Their Artichoke and Spinach dip is amazing Wow It is served with Focaccia bread It is just delicious Their regular prices are great but if you go during happy hour appetizers are half off nnThe service was great and I can not wait to go againnnSo why not a star ratingnnThe parking lot is so cramped that it is difficult to maneuver The bar area is a bit tight I appreciate that they left room for a patio and a spacious dining room but I feel like the bar could be a tad bigger
