Benny’s Ristorante Italiano

Fantastic food; best Italian I've had anywhere, including NYC. It's that good.

I don't have an Italian grandmother, but if I did, I have to imagine this is what her food would be like. High-quality ingredients cooked to perfection.

The atmosphere is nice, with live music upstairs on the weekends. Great service, good cocktails and the food - did I mention the food? Ridiculously addictive. So glad this gem is in Temple.

Outstanding place for delicious Italian food. The service was friendly and sociable. It has a nice atmosphere.

A lovely surprise in Downtown Temple!

We heard that there was a new place downtown and wanted to try it out. Really glad that we did, the food was delicious, service was pretty good, and the place was pleasant on the eyes. We will definitely be back and try other dishes and hope that it can keep up with the bar that it has already been set! Thank you!

Food was awesome. And as always, Benny and Susha were best hosts. Nice and quiet. Not like.other restaurants where you can't hear the person across from the table from you. They never fail. Great Italian food

Beautiful restaurant!!! My calamari came with a fresh purple orchid to add a lovely touch to an already delicious dish. The head chef / owner Benny was making the customers feel welcome with kind greetings. The chicken genovese was delicious and unique to Benny's. A warm and welcoming family friendly restaurant. Excellent food and service all around!!!!
