Bencotto

Had a wonderful dinner here this evening. I am gluten free and ordered the gnocchi and my husband had the lamb tagliatelle pasta. Great portion sizes. We ordered a bottle of the Super Tuscan which is luscious! We took what was left with us. We shared the misto salad which they graciously split for us. Our service and food were wonderful. We have been to Italy and this is top notch. Folks Italy is Italy-it’s the terroir of there and cannot be matched but this came pretty darn close! Would defiantly eat here again.

Came for a semi private party to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. I have celiac disease (must be gluten free) so eating out is hard and requires lots of research even when I’m choosing the restaurant. The party was going to be served family style and I was going to order off the menu. I called ahead and was assured that they had procedures to keep me safe and that the servers and kitchen were educated on dietary issues. Upon ordering the server was wonderful! We found something for me. When it was came it was delish. The salmon had a crispy skin and the gluten free pasta didn’t immediately fall apart! I will definitely be back!

Flavorful and fresh! The pasta was delicious and I liked the 'make your own' dish section that allowed my larger party (including kids!) to pick shapes, sauces, and toppings to suit their tastes. Three vegan and two gluten free pasta shapes were also very well done (I had the vegan, gluten free gnocchi with the peperoni bell pepper sauce - it was delicious!). I had the sorbetto for dessert (light and fresh tasting; wild berry and lemon flavors), and others in my party raved about the tiramisu. The ambiance was somewhat upscale, and the staff were helpful and attentive, but not overbearing. Will definitely recommend to others.
