BENITO'S, Dalkey

Food and the menu always nice. Service team appeared to be relatively new but overall good. Pizza’s were great and I always like their wine list and they have some good ones.More

OK

We were here on Saturday. The food was good. Chips were very salty and the tomato ketchup they serve is weird? Not sure what it is. Mashed potato in the adult mains was very sloppy. However what really let the place down on this occasion...was the service. Very bad. Constantly looking to get somebodies attention while 3 or 4 staff were in behind the bar having the craic. Had to call them to clear up after each course, never came to see if our food was ok and one of the kids ice cream took 10 minutes to get from upstairs. Waitress who sat us was just plain rude and annoyed with us because we asked for a different table. Really enjoy this restaurant as its usually very good but this visit was a disappointment.More

So close, but unfortunately a 'miss'

I'd heard great things about Benito's but unfortunately our experience was a bit of a let down. Staff were attentive and friendly so that is a big plus. The kids likely the pizza but the pasta dishes were all so salty. The kids also had...fires as a side and they were likewise smothered in salt. Not a heart healthy option for sure. Clearly the person who designed the menu knows what they are doing, and the ingredients were both authentic and fresh, but the salt content. Two of our party felt the portion sizes were very small, but that would probably be unfair by Italian standards. I hope this is some simple error made by someone in training.More

Very Good

Food is very good, freshly cooked. The Pizza is as good as I've had. Portion sizes are just right. The service needs some work and the wine is very pricey and not great.

Rude staff and Ok food

Your staff need to understand that customers are the only reason they have a job. Rude and incompetent. Asked to be seated a different table rather than one in the middle of the floor. We were told all other tables were booked. Gave us another...table only because we advised would go and eat elsewhere. The other tables he claimed were booked out never had anyone come and use them. Gave us the wrong bottle of wine, that's no problem, but telling us that we were wrong when we asked for the bottle of wine we actually ordered, not good! Red Wine was cold, was told that's the way it comes out of storage. Carbonara with cream, in an Italian, no no no!More

Best Italian Restaurant Ever!

We had the delight to discover this restaurant during our stay locally. It was the best Italian we have ever eaten. The food is fantastic, it is tasty, a great variety on the menu and it is very reasonably priced. We were a party of...4 including our 2 teenage children. The manager was brilliant, so professional yet personable, he took time to talk to us and really cared that we enjoyed our meal. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and will definitely book a night in the future in Dublin just to eat here. You will not be disappointed.More

On-street only and the Village is busy so it's hit and miss. There is pay parking in the local Church car park all day but on a Saturday, that car park closes at 5 to facilitate Mass.
