Went here with friends recently having been once before. Food and service were both superb. We had the arancini to start, sausage Ragu & spagetoni with beef and prawns all of which were delicious. Desserts of creme brulee and tiramisu also very nice (although tiramisu...could have done with more coffee & marsala. Can't wait to return!More
We picked Benito's on the walk along Dalkey. We liked food, prices, service and decor. The waitress was very professional. Also the black pasta with prawns was delicious.
Restaurant with plenty of choices but service slow. Place well maintained and clean. Location in Centre not by the sea.
Our first meal in Benito’s in Jan 2023. Excellent as always with friendly service and good menu. Wines always great. Nice ambiance (except for the fire alarm went off …no panic! 🔥) recommended.
We took our chances on a walk in table Christmas week 21st dec and it was excellent from start to finish - we were very early 5.30 and we’re told we had 1 hour or less so that was great , we were very happy...with this .The staff were pleasant and service was very efficient , The food was incredibly good (we love Italian) , we secured a table for the following evening g early and again everything was amazing - Truly the highlight of our Xmas holidays in Dalkey, we were staying in the local hotel Our second consecutive evening here was our last night of holidays and we had cancelled a previously booked other restaurant to come here instead. Cannot wait to return to this restaurant Window seats are specialMore
Booked Benitos a few months ago for a Christening on the 6th August for 12 kids and 18 Adults. Should have guessed that that when unwilling to do a kids or set menu the rip off was imminent. Kids pasta was 8 (10.90 in one...case) euro for a tiny bowl (20 pieces of Penne) and on top of that charged 2 euro for cordial and 4.80 euro for 2 scoops of icecream....yes an expensive kids dinner.! Table layout was not as agreed. Put one long table and people could not get out to go to the toilet. One 3 year old broke a bottle of wine that was on a wine rack at floor level and they insisted on charging 25 euro notwithstanding the final bill coming just short of 1,000 euro. Benitos is one of those restaurants that in time the saying "little apples will grow again" will surely apply to. On the positive side pizza was great!More

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
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

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.
