Benvenuto’s Restaurant

I ordered the truffle mac and cheese for delivery. The delivery time was super quick! The food was hot and tasted great, however, I am disappointed there was chicken in it when I didn’t request it.

Their food is great and their pizza is highly recommended. Staff are always very friendly and willing to answer any questions relating to the meals on the menu. Last night was probably my fifth or sixth time out at Benvenuto’s Restaurant and I’ll continue to dine here when my wife and I crave Italian food.

Was there for happy hour with business associates, no one at our table was told about happy hour deals. We would have ordered morwyn_​dep if we would have known.
Drinks were good. Service was sluggish when our drinks were low, guess they forgot to check on us after we got our 1^st round.

I was in with my family, payed with a debit card, I left a good tip $ 20 on a $ 98. tab. 3 days later I fined out I had 2 charges from you, 1 for $ 15 more. I came in to talk to the GM and he looked up my credit slip. Are you kidding It was not my signature or the amount of the tip I left. This new one was for a $ 35 tip. So now the meal that I payed $ 98.00 for was now out of my account for$ 251.00. The GM said take another look are you sure that is not your signature. REALLY
He made up excuses for the server that she must have lost the first slip and just ran a new one. OK you think its ok for your servers to FORGE a guest signature and write in a new tip amount. After 2 days of back and forth with him I finally got my money back. Food is great but I would not use a card at this business.

The first time I ate here was on Valentine’s Day years ago when they first opened and I was less than impressed so I never went back. But I see now that it was not fair to judge them based solely on a busy holiday so long ago.
I’m glad I finally gave them a second shot. It was pretty good Italian food! Way better than Olive Garden and the atmosphere is much more sophisticated.

AMAZING! Service, food and ambiance was perfect. Attentive staff, delicious pasta and the dessert to go that went home with me was an amazing nightcap. Definitely on my go to list the next time I’m in Oshkosh!

Decided on this place because they had an extensive gluten free menu. SO GLAD we did! Such wonderful service, delicious food, and great atmosphere. Don’t have any complaints about this place. Our server was super friendly, and really accommodated to my gluten allergy. Got me a menu right away and it was extensive! A lot of great choices. It took me a while to decide because everything sounded wonderful. Finally decided on the Cajun pasta. Our server also offered me gluten free bread for dipping, although it would be $ 2 extra. Folks, it was well worth it. The bread was simply delicious. You couldn’t even tell it was gluten free. It had a crisp crust but soft center. Oh my word so good. Best gluten free bread I’ve ever had. And when our entrees came,
They were very well presented. And it was VERY TASTY! I truly enjoyed my experience here & I would go back all the time if I lived closer! Try it out! You won’t be disappointed.

Good food, but high prices. Maybe that’s just an out of state opinion, but dinner for two was over $ 50 and no adult beverages were consumed. Perhaps that’s normal for a restaurant here, but I consider it on the pricy side for an average weeknight meal.

Good food and a good price.
The lunch prices range from $ 9 to $ 12 for lunch and the pasta portions don’t leave you hungry afterwards.
They also start you off with complimentary bread.
I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a good Italian restaurant!

Wow! We visit Oshkosh once a year and found this restaurant last year. The food is excellent, portions huge, service superlative. We love the focaccia bread and olive oil dip, the soups are great and the entrees won’t disappoint. My wife and I shared the Pasta Trio and still took half of it home.

First visit today and I have to say — service, atmosphere and food were very amazing! I got the Bacon Jam Scallops with caramelized onions and I’m going to be getting it again next visit. Best scallops I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection. Keep up the great work :)

Let’s start with the Sangria. Most of my reviews do. It was ok. Kinda weird served in a beer mug, but that doesn’t change the flavor. It wasn’t busy at all on a Sunday night so I don’t think reservations are necessary. I ordered the spicy penne but asked if they could bake it with cheese. They were accommodating and brought it out shortly. The dish was very, very good. The sausage, which was listed as Anduille, was not, however, it was delicious. The right amount of spice. The salad was average as well as the bread they brought to the table. Ordered dessert, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Day Dream, and it was good. Was hoping for homemade.
Overall, 3 stars but that entrée was killer, so bumped it up to 4.
It made the list of regular stops when in the Oshkosh area.

Great stop for dinner. Great to see a young well trained staff who actually embrace the art of hospitality. Unfortunately we don’t see it often enough these days. Food was great. Price was good value. But it was the service that exceeded expectations. Thank you for an enjoyable visit.

I can’t decide how I feel about Benvenuto’s. It was one of the first restaurants I tried in Oshkosh, and I’ve had a couple of nice meals here. However, there was an incident with some severely over-​cooked steaks (along with a hefty wait), and lately I just haven’t been excited about going here. Especially if you’re trying to do low carb (yes, I just said low carb at an Italian restaurant — so take my opinion with a grain of salt!), there’s not a lot of choices on the menu that don’t involve pizza or pasta.
We stopped in for a drink at the bar after a movie though, and my Italian wedding cake martini was excellent, and despite arriving at 9:15 (they close at ten), the bartender didn’t try to push us out before they closed, even mentioning last call to us so we could order another round, pay up, etc.
Overall, I guess Benvenuto’s is ok, but it’s not a place I go to regularly, except out of occasional convenience (i.e. proximity to the movie theater).

A good place to get some Italian cuisine in Oshkosh! Upon entering we were greeted and immediately seated although we did go early so I can’t really speak to if there is normally a wait or not and we did have our first experience mid-​week evening for dinner. The environment of the restaurant seems very warm and elegant with a «casual» attitude if that makes sense. After being seated we were greeted by our server with her writing her name on the paper that covered the table, somewhat like a giant placemat. We actually took advantage of this space and decided we would color on the paper ourselves while waiting for our food. We first ordered the spinach artichoke dip (which comes at a very good portion, price seems high at first but after they brought it I thought it was a more than fair price) and also had beer cheese soup (very good). You also get complimentary bread with olive oil and a spice mix which was very good. We ordered pizza, ravioli, and chicken strips for our dinners. The pizza, to be perfectly honest, was not my favorite sauce on a pizza. Don’t get me wrong, it was good, just not our particular taste. The ravioli was very good and was a different sauce than the pizza, which we preferred, The chicken was also very good. The dinner was concluded with an assortment of desserts since we wanted to try a few different ones. The cannoli, salted caramel cheesecake, and tiramisu were all very good. The cannoli was an especially good treat as many try to get it right but fall short. The cannoli here does not disappoint at all. The service throughout the meal was excellent! I recommend this place and will certainly return to try other dishes!

Food: 3 stars
Ambiance: 4 stars
Service: 3 stars (sweet waitress, slow service. 30 min to get our appetizers)
Stopped over here on a business trip, and Unilocaled for an hour before finally deciding on this place. I have to say, the bright «IMMEDIATE SEATING» sign worried us.
But the inside was more appealing. It’s extremely spacious and could hold about 200 people. The waitresses are really sweet but don’t know much about beer so ask someone else.
Dishes we ordered:
Charcuterie plate. Best dish of the night. The cheeses also were on point, especially the creamy one in the middle.
Margherita pizza: eh. Cheese falls off. We asked for red pepper flakes, but those were so stale/​tasteless. Didn’t know that was possible
Calzone: too bready but otherwise yummy
Truffle Mac and cheese: I added sausage to this expecting them to dice it up but they just put one huge fat link on top. Which is fine I guess. Pretty good but too heavy. Enough to share among THREE people.
Meat and Veggie Lasagna: Yes, you can ask them to mix the two! pretty decent
Minestrone soup: I thought it was on the salty side but my buddy thought it was just right.

First time here
First impression, very nice. Very clean, soft jazz playing over the sound system (loud enough to hear, soft enough to converse)
My waitress, Celya, was fabulous.
Food:
Lentil Soup — Excellent
Shrimp Tetrazzini — Very Good
Lemon Mixed Berry Cheesecake — Perhaps the best piece of cheesecake I’ve ever had.
Coffee — Excellent
This is definitely a place I will dine again at.

This was an amazing find. Great place to eat Italian. First of all they have a great place to wait for your table. The lounge chairs are large and comfy. Up by the bar, and sports playing on the TV. Score!
We were seated, and the first thing we noticed is that the tables are large, and the lights are not so dim that you can’t see the menu. Another Score! You don’t have to bump elbows with others at your table.
I had the Lasagne and my wife had the specialty pizza, which was Asparagus and chicken with an Alfredo sauce. Let me start with the Lasagne. Huge portion. Comes in a large dish, and piled with cheese, and sauce, and stuffed with meat. It was delicious! I loved it.
The Pizza was equally yummy. Crust was thin, but not too thin. Alfredo sauce was great. And the Asparagus added a great touch. It could have been cut into smaller pieces (the Asparagus, that is), to make eating it easier, but all-​in-​all we loved it. Next time we are in Oshkosh we will be back.

Large lasagna portion, kids got spaghetti, & cheese pizza wife got Margherita Pizza. Service was great food was very good. The food on all the surrounding tables looked great. The ambiance was great.
If I’m ever in town again, I’ll definitely be back.

Benvenuto’s is a lovely Italian Restaurant /​Grill.
It has a warmth to it. if you will a glow!
A great menu which includes soups and salads, chicken entrees, fresh
seafood entrees, great wood fired pizzas and phenominal pasta dishes.
Definitely my four star rating is attributed to the food we ordered which
was tremendous, starting with the warm herb bread served with olive
oil and a thyme seasoning blend.
There were a few issues however.
This restaurant was freezing! and every booth had a vent over it
blasting really frigid air on everyone. My son Nick was so cold that he asked
our server Jodie to please turn it down. Jodie addressed it with her manager.
Long story short we were still freezing throughout our meal!
And. we came in about 4pm. there were only 2 other customers in
the restaurant. it was not busy at all.
However our server Jodie disappeared for much longer than the
few minutes she said she would give us to decide.
There were 2 other servers there who were on top of their game.
but, our server seemed to be out of it today.
And. we had a 50% discount off our meal with a coupon that we had and we
told our server about it. she said it would be applied to our total check.
It wasn’t and my son Nick’s Calzone was also priced $ 1.50 over the
menu price.
So. if you find yourself in Oshkosh craving some really great Italian Food
this is definitely a place to check out.
And hopefully you will get one of the good servers who can recite the
daily specials to you without reading them off a notepad!
Benvenuto’s. go for the food.
Wish I could say more than that!
I can’t…
