The Scene – This small but comfortable restaurant is Old Brooklyn in its ambiance, with ceiling fans, heavily framed "old masters-style" art, and operatic arias filling the air. It's a locals' favorite: Young couples hold hands across the tables, neighbors converse over pasta, and folks savor the dining values. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and able to guide patrons toward the better dishes. – – The Food – Everything comes swimming in sauce. Stuffed manicotti vanishes under a blanket of fairly average marinara. Flounder francese tastes fresh despite having been…

  1. We ordered a bottle of the ruffino chianti, which was excellent, and were brought a large family style salad and rolls.
  2. had the meat tortellini and it was the best italian meal I have ever had in my life.
  3. Generous portions, huge italian salad, fabulous bread, the servers are sweet and you feel like you are in a family restaurant in italy
  4. The picatta had WAY too much sauce on it, but now I know to order light on sauce.
  5. Delicious food and cozy atmosphere
  6. Best italian meal I've ever had
  7. My husband had the chicken cacciatore which was also very flavorful.
  8. The salad was fresh and I really liked the herbed dressing and all the goodies that came on the salad -- black olives, etc.
  9. The accompanying capers were quite yummy.
  10. Excellent food, so-so service
  11. The service and speed is average, but the prices are very good and the toppings are great tasting and fresh.
  12. Not because it's quiet, but because it doesn't feel like you're anywhere near traffic or the city, but in a good friend's dining room having some delicious dishes.
  13. The menu is extensive both in food and wine.
  14. However, the seafood alfredo I ordered was very satisfying, the sauce was creamy and the seafood, which had been frozen, was suprisingly fresh tasting.
  15. This was perfect Italian comfort food!
  16. The toppings are always fresh.
  17. They have huge slices of pizza.
  18. The food has always been wonderful - our favorite entree is the baked ziti and the garlic rolls are amazing.
  19. Benedetti's is romantic, the food is great and our waitress was hilarious.
  20. Worst Italian food I ever ate
  21. Both of our entrees were too much for one person, especially since they bring you delicious salad and these wonderful rolls - which are like little garlicky pieces of buttery heaven.
  22. signed up to Citysearch solely so I could warn you -- last night was the worst meal I have been served in an Italian restaurant, ever.

Don't Order Delivery

by AtlantaEsq

This place's food is mediocre and the delivery SUCKS. I've now not once but TWICE have had to cancel and order a refund because this place can't deliver on time or at all. These guys don't have their stuff in order. You want pizza delivered on time? Order from dominos or pizza hut. You'll get the same quality at a better price, and it will arrive without excuses.

Great Pizza

by tjones198635

We have tried them all. This is the best in town. This is as good as it gets. It is even cheaper than pizza hut and dominos.

  • Pros: Great pizza, reasonable prices

Benedetti's is closing

by thomas_bosch

I was just finishing dinner last week at Benedetti's when the waiter informed me that the restaurant would be closing at the end of the year. The owners are turning it into a pizza place, so for all of you that will miss the garlic rolls and (my personal favorite) veal picatta, get in there before the 30th of December, their last day, for one last meal. Another old restaurant bites the dust.

  • Pros: Great food, great service, great old place
  • Cons: they're closing

darling old school Italian eatery

by rockstar79

We ordered take out from Benedetti's since we just moved to Atlanta and had yet to unpack our plates, silverware, and other kitchen equipment. This was perfect Italian comfort food! It wasn't fancy by any means -- just plain and simple, very traditional. The garlic butter rolls were warm and soft. The salad was fresh and I really liked the herbed dressing and all the goodies that came on the salad -- black olives, etc. For my entree, I had the chicken picatta with fettucine alfredo. The picatta had WAY too much sauce on it, but now I know to order light on sauce. The accompanying capers were quite yummy. The fettucine was soooo good... creamy, thick and flavorful. It was decadent! The only drawback was that the sauce separated when I reheated it, revealing just how much butter was used in its creation. But, delectable either way. My husband had the chicken cacciatore which was also very flavorful. We got a buy one get one 1/2 price from campusfood dot com, so that made our whole takeout meal about $22. Great deal for so much food.

The restaurant itself was quite charming. Although located in a strip mall, it's got cute red pleather booths and was dimly lit with a great looking wine wall towards the back of the restaurant.

We'll definitely be back for more.

  • Pros: intimate setting, traditional recipes, no fluff
  • Cons: located in an ugly strip mall
