⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing food and top-tier service! If you are looking for an incredible meal close to the Colosseum, Benso is the place to go. The restaurant has a lovely, inviting ambiance and features a large selection of Italian foods to choose from—everything was absolutely delicious. The ultimate highlight of the meal was the tiramisu, which was great and incredibly flavorful. A huge shoutout to Enzo for his fantastic and amazing service; he truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is located very close to the Colosseum, making it very convenient.The food is generally decent, and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered a beef steak, but the flavor was a bit unusual for my taste. The mushrooms had a slightly slimy texture, which I wasn’t sure was intentional. The staff kindly offered to remake the dish, which I really appreciated, although the result was quite similar.Overall, the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The seating is comfortable and not crowded. There is also a restroom available, although it could be cleaner. Wi-Fi is provided.

Great food and great service. I had Ravioli filled with burrata and pistachios, which is something I've never seen anywhere else. It was very innovative and tasted so good I wish I had another day in Eome so I could get another. Our server Raz was also great. Very friendly and quick with everything. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for some good Italian food.

Totally recommend! Great menu options, food was delicious and nicely presented, our server Felix was very attentive, good portions, great vibe and music playing in the background. We got lucky to get a table with no wait, but closer to 7:30-8pm, it was full and people were waiting to eat. We were three people and split everything. We ordered the steak which comes with some peppers, a side of French fries, and a Caesar salad. The salad could’ve come with a bit more salad dressing, but it was still good. For dessert, we got the cheesecake which was a really nice sweet treat. We also got some drinks (Aperol spritz, Hugo spritz, water, and Coca Cola). I really liked this restaurant and would recommend!
