Benno is a fine-dining restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine, from acclaimed Chef Jonathan Benno. The menu focuses on the area where Italy and France meet at Liguria and Provence, while highlighting additional regions along the Mediterranean coast. The beverage program also explores the unique wines & spirits from these provinces, with options for both cocktail and wine pairings that complement the arc of the food menu.

Located in the land marked and newly redesigned hotel, The Evelyn, the Art Deco-inspired dining room evokes a grandeur harkening back to the gilded ago of old New-York. The design, cuisine, and service at Benno all aim to create a sense of elegance and refinement, but also fun and celebration.

Elegant but not stuffy restaurant with a wide range of choices in the 3, 4 or 5 item tasting menu. Excellent service and delicious food. My coddled egg with peas, favas and morels was especially good.

Excellent service, outstanding food. Go. The staff is personable and not intrusive; I wish I knew the name of the gentleman who helped with the wine — tall guy — he was terrific... and the trofie pasta was outstanding!
