Benvenuto Cafe

Currently here, been here b4 the food is usually good. Decided on the seafood bisque soup which was very good also ordered a Roasted Salmon salad which is complete trash. So I’m basically I’m writing this review to warn you against ordering this salad. There’s no roasted salmon here just mushed salmon that taste like pure fish no seasoning nothing just pure dish and it smells as well. Welp you’ve been warned other than that the other 2 times I’ve been here ordered wraps and a burger and it was good.

This is a really cute café for a quick bite. It’s mainly a to-​go spot but they have a few long communal style tables and hi-​top seats by the window. If you order breakfast to stay, the manager or owner brings out your plates of food to you. I’ve tried the turkey bacon, egg and cheese on a perfectly toasted roll and a scrambled egg, avocado, turkey bacon on whole wheat toast. Both were so delicious and well made. A bit on the pricey side but you’re in Tribeca so I guess that’s where those prices kick in. $ 17 for coffee, hot chocolate and two breakfast sandwiches. The staff is really nice and the woman woman at the counter who takes the order is really helpful!

Like most places in the neighborhood — expensive with nothing remotely interesting to offer.

Slow service and food was fair. Members of my party were served at different times and we had to get up and ask for silverware.

We’ve ordered from Benvenuto before and never had a problem with the food or delivery. Today I was beyond disappointed. I waited an hour and a half for my food, after the delivery guy got lost. I was called the restaurant and was put on hold and then yessed to death. Upon receiving my food my 6 $ French fries were freezing cold and soggy. When I called the restaurant they told me they were very busy and would do something for me next time. Terrible way to conduct business when I just spend $ 20 on a sandwich and fries. My business will not be ordering from them again. What a shame.

I personally love ordering from here and it’s my new go-​to for paninis. You can «build» your own panini on seamless, and there are a lot of choices of bread, which I like a lot. It’s not the standard panini you think of when ordering from a deli. They have a good selection of ingredients to put in your panini.
Also, you can make your own salad. There are different types of greens you can choose from as your base. And again, lots of topping options. Different dressing options… It’s very easy to be happy with your choices.
Delivery can take either a short amount of time or a while, but I think it’s because they get a lot of orders, not because they’re slacking. If you want to order something simple at night like I do, try this place at least once.

Never ever ordering from this place again.
Seamless promised me that the food would be delivered by 8:15. When I called the restaurant where my order was, the guy on the phone was not being responsible and made it sound like it would be delivered when it would be. The food was delivered 40 minutes after ordering and the food was already so cold and didnt even taste good.

It’s a small, intimate, and cozy. The cashier was hey sweet– she hand squeezed out orange juice. Overall the staff is great. I loved the paninis (highly recommend p2). The pancakes tasted homemade, they were fluffy wither enough sponge, and not overlooked– just perfect. The Eggs Benedict was also amazing.
Overall great location, staff that’s on easy on the eyes, and quality fresh food. Price is reasonable and would recommend to anyone staying in TriBeCa.

Pricey but it is my neighborhood go to when I don’t feel like cooking. I love the taco turkey chili and their wraps are consistent, although, I’m pretty bland when it comes to my wraps. I only have protein, lettuce, tomatoes and onions on whole wheat. Other than that, I love their iced green tea!

I used to be a HUGE fan of this place! Such a big fan in fact that I had my «go-​to» order saved on Seamless so I wouldn’t have any hassle with ordering — especially since I get the same thing over and over again.
After today, I will never order from here again. It was just like any day when I went to order my «go-​to» and this time the restaurant messed up and put tomatoes in my sandwich. Good thing I noticed before I took a bite as I am SUPER allergic.
When I went to call the restaurant to resend my order correctly, I have never been so disrespected in my life. The restaurant accused me of lying. After arguing, they finally agreed to send me a new one. I hung up the phone and threw away my sandwich. The restaurant then called back about 5 minutes later and told me they wanted me to give the wrong sandwich back. I told them I am not digging through the trash because of their mistake and not telling me the first time before hanging up.
It’s been about 45 minutes and I am still waiting for my new sandwich. Looks like I am going to have to get a refund issued through Seamless.

The salad bar here is actually pretty great. Dolmas, tons of veggie options, made-​to-​order steak on top or smoked salmon… etc. But the service is straight up awful. I have discussed this with several friends, all having gone on multiple occasions, and we’re baffled. Get out of your own way, Benvenuto!

My go to neighborhood spot. Open 24 hours so younger eat real food at all hours. I like their wraps and salads.
The service time can vary greatly is the only thing.

Ordered delivery and received the most inedible food I have ever received from anywhere. Ordered an egg wrap where they forgot the cheese and put very few mushrooms in it. The egg was not sunny side up and the wrap was soaking wet when it came so could not even eat it.
Ordered iced coffee with skim and Splenda and they didn’t put the Splenda in the bag or the coffee so the coffee was not drinkable. Never been more disappointed and they would only refund the iced coffee… Don’t recommend for delivery as they don’t care about their food or their customers.

My friends and I just finished kayaking at Pier 26 and were looking for a café to get some light food and drinks. This place was within 2 – 3 blocks from the pier, so we decided to stop by.
The décor looks very clean and elegant. There are two tables for outdoor seating. The café was well air conditioned. I ordered a Piña colada smoothie and a chicken pesto panini (panini #5 on their menu). Everything is a bit overpriced, but that’s expected in this part of Manhattan.
The panini was absolutely delicious. I had a good time with my friends sitting in the outdoor table while eating/​drinking so that is probably what made this experience as a whole so great.
Unfortunately, I am taking off one star because of the mix up with my smoothie.
I ordered the smoothie first as a separate order from my panini, which I ordered later on when I realized I wouldn’t be eating again till much later. I was confused as to why the smoothie still was not ready several minutes after my sandwich was made. Finally I see a server going around to different tables holding two smoothies in his hand, asking who had ordered them. I walk up to him and explain that I ordered a Pina Colada smoothie. Given that Pina Coladas are typically white, I point to the white smoothie in his hand and tell him that is mine. However, the staff member hands me the other orange colored smoothie. I ask again «This is the piña colada?» and he sort of brushes me off. It was not the smoothie I ordered, but it tasted good and I didn’t want to make a scene.

Another great lunch spot in TriBeCa. I used to go here everyday for a custom salad. You can choose a small or large salad with 7 toppings. I think that’s a pretty good deal.
Their sandwiches, paninis, and pastas are so savory! Once you go P6 you can never go back.

Stopped here with husband to seek refuge from a downpour and to get a hot meal. I ordered the garden pasta (zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, peas, scallions, tomatoes and onion) on angel hair with marinara sauce. Husband ordered chicken parm. My pasta was alright but it was missing the asparagus, tomatoes, onion and scallions. Also, my fork was dirty. Waited about 20 min for our food although we were the only two eating in the restaurant. Husband said the chicken was chewy. I also ordered a tea and the redeeming quality was that they use Harney and Sons tasty tea.

To preface, I’ve ordered from here 25+ times (most of which were not personally paid for) considering it’s proximity to the office. In general, the food is well made, but isn’t anything special or memorable. I usually order the Due Panini (smoked turkey, bacon, cheddar, and tomatoes on country bread) or the Ana Madama (the turkey burger with turkey bacon), which seem to be their better lunch/​dinner items.
The real problems with this place are the obscene prices and the attitude of the staff. In regards to pricing, I understand it’s Tribeca. However, take-​out Bolognese should not cost $ 14, nor should a «Chicago Style» hot dog cost $ 11.50. Considering this place is one of the only delis left in Tribeca, it’s usually a zoo around lunch time. Because of this, you will be haphazardly herded through line (which is usually more of a crowd standing around the salad area) as quickly as possible. You will be barked at if you don’t immediately know what you want to order (borderline Soup Nazi style), and even if you do have it ready, you’ll probably have to repeat it at least three times. To top off the Benvenuto experience, the guy at the register pretty much just screams random, unintelligible words across the restaurant the entire day, which only leads to more confusion.
In short, if you’re into paying double what normal lunch or take-​out dinner should cost, this place (less the terrible service) might be the place for you. For the rest of us, there are still a few places left in Tribeca that offer better service and better quality food for a significantly cheaper price.

I gotta say, I was extremely disappointed.
Came here because our promised breakfast at the nearby screening center was cancelled. Big mistake
The workers all look like they hate it there and I can understand, they might not be ready for the morning rush and I can understand. But common.
We had two eggs Benedicts and one medium coffee for me. The coffee was more of a size of extra small. Then I looked around me and realized. Hmmm maybe I should of asked for a to go which seems to be much bigger. Unmmmm huh?
The eggs Benedicts too forever to come and when it did, it was so disappointing. Actually I stand corrected, the food tasted as bad as it looked. The English muffin was not toasted well and I could barely cut it: the potatoes are horrid and TASTELESS. The hollandise sauce was super weak and well. On top of everything it was not cheap. $ 15 I believe.
I am sorry but I cannot go back. I am a huge eggs Benedict fan and so far, this place failed to impress me.

Overpriced upscale tribeca deli fare. Their salads and wraps are generally very good but they are very expensive. But then again I unfortunately have to work in tribeca. So it goes. I have eaten here a few dozen times, it is close, fast and the people there are generally smiling. If I really want to splurge I’ll get a salmon burger and sweet potato fries — they are actually really good.
Avoid their breakfast foods though, they are awful.

Benvenuto is a godsend for days I forget to bring my lunch to work. This is a deli on steroids. Sandwiches, paninis, salads, pasta, etc. that are more upscale than your typical deli fare (and also slightly pricier because, uh, Tribeca).
You can order… beer and wine… in a deli. Wut.
On the loud side and their are a TON of flies in here for some reason.
