"I was really hoping to leave a wonderful review, unfortunately, we had a rather disheartening evening. The hostess was very lovely. We had a reservation, so we were seated right away. Once we were seated, we waited for about roughly 20 min until a tall gentleman walked to our table and just blurted ?You ready?? We were taken by surprise, but we shrugged it off. It was a Saturday, we understand it can be chaotic. Unfortunately, the rest of the night did not get any better. The gentleman continuously sighed very loudly when we had a question, and even rolled his eyes when we mispronounced the name of the dishes. He continued to do this when we were trying to inquire about wine recommendations...

We had a great experience here! We ended here by chance, we had 2 children (to sleep with children) and we were turned away from a few places because of him. But we came to this amazing place and they changed our day! They pulled their tables and made us fit. When my daughter woke up while I tried to get her out, they helped me move the stroller away and quickly brought a chair for her to sit. We felt totally welcome and could really enjoy our time. The food was great! Fresh pasta and all very tasty, the waiter was very busy, but still trying to be nice and friendly with the children. Portions looked great, so we just ordered some appetizers and pasta to share and without asking, they brough...

I came to Bencotto on a recent road trip of New England with friends from out of state. We didn't have many set plans in Boston, but decided to try Bencotto. The first night we tried, they had a line out the door and were packed. After talking to a very nice, but clearly busy host, he explained that their online booking service hadn't allowed them to adjust capacity due to covid restrictions and moving to indoor only seating (this was Nov 21 so hopefully that's been fixed). So, understanding, we made a reservation for the second night. It was worth the wait, we even opted to sit at the bar because by that point the smell of the food while we were waiting outside was driving us crazy haha Eve...
