Benito One

This is the best food we’ve had in NYC so far, none the less Little Italy. Wife ordered Osso Buco and said it was the best she ever had. It’s actual veal and not pork like many other offerings. I ordered the meat and cheese lasagna and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The garlic bread is also very traditional and out of this world. This place has an amazing atmosphere and definitely feels Italian. It’s a small and intimate place with fantastic service. One of the servers even draws portraits of the customers! They also offer gluten free pasta choices for those that are looking for an alternative solution but still wants pasta.

We were immediately greeted and welcomed by the owner warmly. My friend ordered gluten free pasta and they were very accommodating and diligent in making sure every ingredient in her meal was gluten free, and there was no cross-contamination. She has a serious gluten allergy and was pleasantly surprised to find that she did not get sick at all from her meal! I ordered the handmade stuffed ricotta shells and a glass of wine. Both meals were INCREDIBLE!!! The best pasta I have ever had. The staff was very friendly attentive. Such an authentic Italian dining experience, we would both definitely return.
