    Benzina exceeded our expectations for date night! We started with the arincini and homemade bread, both of which were excellent. We then got the chicken and steak entree, and they were phenomenal! Full of flavor and delicious. I’m very picky about steak and this one exceeded all expectations! We also had some cocktails which were equally delicious. We’re so glad we found Benzina and can’t wait to return!

    Never disappoints! Fantastic food. From the unique and delicious cauliflower, to the fresh ravioli and delicious mushroom pizza…. Amazing! Can’t forget the wonderful salad with fresh greens and wonderful buffalo motzeralla. Cocktails all delicious( we tried each others). A must visit if you haven’t been yet.

    I was looking forward to trying Benzina after having read about it numerous times. Finally got to go and will say the atmosphere is novel and pleasing having previously been a gas station I believe. The servers and service were attentive and friendly. We both ordered a gluten-free pizza and were disappointed. They were the mushroom pizzas and the toppings were decent, but the crust was very undercooked and gummy, but I have to say they did the right thing and took off some of the charges on our bill. In general, I expected more flavor.

    It’s always fun to experience Benzina through the eyes of a new person. My first time guest loved the amazing food and of course the excellent service. Great to see all the friendly faces.

    The food was flavorful well presented and in adequate portions if you don’t mind today’s current high end smallish sort of portions. Had the risotto and pizza and both were excellent and unusual. The main problem was that it was a very cold night and the restaurant itself was quite chilly but more importantly at least one of the dining rooms Was exceedingly noisy. It would be a good move to either put some sort of sound muffling fabric on the ceiling or the walls or something to cut down on the noise. Anyway definitely will go back

    I never write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so because I am still thinking of last night’s meal. Incredible food, wine, and service! Been wanting to come here for a while and now I think this place is one of Denver’s best. Thank you for such a lovely establishment and experience!
