The chicken parm was absolutely delicious and wonderful customer service. I'll definitely be going back.

Really good pizza. One of the best in town as the crust is very good. Easy to pick up and go.

Stopped tonight for the first time since moving to the neighborhood. Bea, our waitress, was absolutely great and the food was phenomenal! Definitely coming back!

I and the family were here today, Friday, August 7, 2020 for the first time and our experience was great! Our Greek server who happens to be here in the US was excellent and very attentive. The food was great!! I had the pasta combo with Cesar salad and it was very authentic Italian dish. The wife had the calzone and it was great and my son had the 10" pizza and it was also great! I would definitely come back and bring more family to this restaurant.

My wife and I have been long-standing customers of this Benito's. There are good reason! Having had my stomach entirely removed a dozen years ago, my food intake requirements leaves little wiggle room for sub-standard fare. We come here because the food is superb, the staff attentive, the sanitation obvious, pricing is reasonable. Their baked lasagna makes 2 or 3 meals for me and they do not skimp on quality ingredients. The "gravy" or red sauce is what I ask for an extra portion on the lasagna. Be good to yourself and take your entire family there... the menu is diverse enough that you will find something for the whole family. My only disappointment is that with the Covid-19 concerns, my recent visit showed folks sitting around the bar without social distancing. The staff and customers wore no masks (except me and one other take out customer). Granted, you cannot eat with a mask on, but you can wear one if you are a server, waitperson, or enroute to your table. When I brought this up, it was ignored and I was told that I could call my next take out order in and they would bring it out to my car. That is the approach I will have to take going forward. However, as I said, the baked lasagna was superb.

In restaurant service friendly. Pizza is great. RECOMMEND business update hours of operation on FB (at least). Tried to order takeout and had no way of knowing hours so we used another restaurant. Shame Wonder how much business they may have lost due to this silly error!!!!

This was some of the best authentic Italian food I’ve had in a long time. I had ate here at a different location a few years ago and found out they moved. This newer location is nicer than I remember and the food taste just as good and good people during these tough times

PIZZA WAS RAW AND NOT COOKED WELL! THE OWNER WAS VERY RUDE!! BLOODY DISGRACE FOR A PIZZA RESTAURANT!!!! OUR PIZZA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CRUNCHY, NOT SOGGY!?! I AM TELLING THE DAMN TRUTH AND YOU WERE RUDE ON THE PHONE WHEN YOU TALKED TO MY GRANDMOTHER!! THATS A DISGRACE!!!!!
We appreciate Benitos offering such amazing food especially during this pandemic . They offer “ Family meals” that feed 6. Every time that we order , the food is amazing and I feel it’s a great value for all that you get with your meal. Thank you Benitos for all that you do

I am so picky and theres only one place I like but not close to me, so I decided to try a place that a drive by everyday. Their prices for pizza are incredible and the margarita is an actual margarita pizza. Most places always put red sauce, but they actually put a perfect balance of garlic and oil and its amazing!!! Im so glad I tried this place. I would say they should of put more basil but I have a basil plant at home so that didnt bother me. Ill be going back soon!!!

We went around 5:00 pm on a Wednesday. They did not give options for happy hour or we weren't sure if they waiter was aware of it's availability. They lacked on Customer Service and Ambiance. The pizza was good but the place felt dead. They need to improve staff friendliness and its environment.

Excellent food and service! The drinks were well made, the portions very generous, the flavor of the food very tasty, and the price point is good. It is tough to find a good family restaurant outside of downtown St. Augustine. Even though this restaurant is in a strip mall...it is a gem. They worked really hard to create a warm and cozy dining atmosphere. The only need for improvement is if you sit in a booth you might find yourself sitting a lot lower than expected... again the food makes you forget this slight discomfort. Our group was very impressed with their meals.

Always delicious. Best Pizza in this region, by far, However, it takes a bit to cook on a busy night. We think it's worth it. Reminds us of the pizza we'd get in New England.
