Recently traveled to Boston to see family, and we went to Benevento's a small restaurant off of Salem street. Very cosy inside. We were greeted right away and they were very accommodating to the fact 4 of us were there and 4 would show up later. They gave us bread and butter to start. The baguette was not warm and we were given cold butter packed to spread. I would highly recommend warming the bread and flavoring the butter, or a simple olive oil that has been infused would have taken this a long way. The portions were quite big and the hubby and I shared the pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly aldente with a nice chew. The vodka sauce was good, but it could've used a bit of red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat. If I'm back in Boston I would suggest this place, but there maybe others that are better.

There is not a shortage of outstanding food options on the north end. People often flock to the fan boi favorites. This spot right here is a straight contender. They are accommodating from the outside in. No reservation on a busy Saturday evening, no problem! I highly recommend the outdoor seating in the back. Italian music in the air, a light breeze, and all shade, yes please. The food, fuhgeddaboudit! Sauces were flavorville. PRO TIP--save the bread and get the sautéed calamari. Dip the bread in the sauce. You're welcome ;) Seafood, as fresh as it gets. Pizza, Portnoy would blush. All around home run! I love the North End and this place is one of the reasons why!

Dropped in for lunch on a Saturday- chose bar seating. Service was average. Love their eggplant rollatini- it's offered in multiple sizes- as a side, appetizer or entree. I chose the side. Enjoyed the grilled fig salad with fresh figs, prosciutto, greens, goat cheese, and walnuts. Good cocktail selection- had the grape crush with soda instead of Sprite to tone down the sweetness- yum!

Originally I wanted to go to Al Dente, but the wait was a hour and a half and the host mentioned that next-door they had the same exact menu. So I decided to try Benevento's. I ended up getting the same exact thing that I got from Al Dente a year ago which was the handmade Fussili Carbonara, but this time I didn't add sausage and I got a meatball on the side.The pasta was amazing! Loved the soft texture of the fussili. The carbonara sauce was really good as well - nice and creamy. The pancetta was somewhat chewy, but overall I really enjoyed the dish! The meatball dish was also amazing! The meatball itself wasn't overly seasoned but the sauce and the cheese really complemented the meatball well. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this tasted - it was a very simple dish that had amazing flavor!Washed it down with the Chianti and that made my night! So if you can't make it into Al Dente, go next-door to Benevento's!

The wait is long, but it is so worth it! I made a reservation for party of 7 here, and we still need to wait an hour for our table. However, the staffs are extremely nice and constantly asking us if we need anything once we are seated. I would highly recommend the chicken Parmesan here! The restaurant ambiance is upbeat, and always feels busy. This spot would be nice for big group of party to gather and hang out over drinks and good food

Came here on a Friday evening and it was popping. We had reservations but still had to wait a bit for a table.This is a more casual Italian restaurant. They have a wide variety of options on the menu - many vegetarian choices. I got the build your own pasta with the fusilli and vodka sauce, it was a huge portion and the sauce was really good. We also got bruschetta for the table which was okay, needed a bit of salt in my opinion.They have a robust martini menu which is fun, I got the lemon drop which was nice. And then they had a pretty decent list of wine, with many reasonable priced options. Would definitely recommend for a more low key Italian dinner.

Went here over the weekend with friends. Wish I'd remembered it was St. Patrick's day (and how popular this area is for that holiday)...The restaurant is fairly narrow. We had a party of about a dozen, and things were a little cozy/snug. Our waitress and the entire staff was fabulous. Every dish was fresh and great portion sizes (several of us took left-overs home). Prices were a bit expensive, but very reasonable for the size. They did a great job topping off beverages and complimentary bread.With many Italian restaurants in the north end to choose from, I would definitely recommend this one.
