Benito's Trattoria - Italian restaurant in Chester - 44 Main St, USA

Arrived at 5pm for dinner. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Restaurant seems a little dated but clean. At the table they give you warmed baguette with packet butter. The baguette isn't really anything special and it was barely warm. We ordered the Capellini Toscana and Linguine Siciliano. The pasta isn't homemade which isn't a deal breaker but overall the dishes were a tad boring. Basically the capellini toscana is like a salad. The garlic white wine sauce was super watery. The sauce could definitely use some rich elements since the pasta dish in itself is so basic. It's just sundried tomatoes, spinach, and shiitake mushrooms. The linguine siciliano was a bit better but also watery. 3 pieces of large shrimp and they used bigger clams instead of little neck. No grit which was great but the clams were heavy with ocean flavor. Oh and the parm cheese they offer before you eat looked like the prepackaged powdered parm rather than fresh grated parm. Didn't bother ordering dessert after seeing what the entrées were like.

A decent long time Chester favorite off the main street. We haven't been there in a very long time. Family run with excellent service. Atmosphere is good, nicely lit but a little loud when it's full, which it typically is so make reservations. Food is excellent, some dishes are just okay at least to my taste. I wouldn't recommend the Cesar salad, the dressing was a bit too sweet. Mussels app wasn't a favorite either but I liked my entree, Pollo alla Griglia, had lots of flavor. Dessert cart is also excellent. BYOB is also a plus.

Fabulous a must put on your list ! Authentic prepared made to order dishes. Located conveniently in the heart of beautiful Chedter NJ. Started with Brevada salad absolutely delicous. Next eggplant stuffed Parmasean appetizer prepared to perfection, Rigatoni bolonese was divine. Iorder the special which was succulent shrimp on top of bass swimming in a buttery cream garlic sauce accompanied by fresh French cut green beans and a small puffed potatoes. To die for ! My friend ordered chicken francais perfect with fresh green beans.We had to take our main meals to go as overindulgence cost us. But we had to try perfectly brewed coffee ☕ and the special Raspberry cheesecake which we spilt! The restaurant was packed for a Wednesday night. The weather was so nice most diners ate outside. John the owner was a classy host proud of his success. This is a MUST go . Make reservations to this elegant upscale gourmet restaurant 😋. Bring your own choice of libations. Even there was a 10 star Google rating I would definitely give John and our server Daniel who was dressed up and classy 10 stars. All that food was under 150 for 2. Extremely reasonably for hand crafted designed meals . A picture tells words I cannot describe exactly what a wonderful experience we had!

Not baby friendly. No changing tables. No accommodation when asked if there was a changing table in another area. Food was fine. Service was fine. Didn’t order desert as it was being prepared and left on plates for servicing right outside the bathroom. Bathroom wasn’t the cleanest either.

A wonderful experience at this restaurant. We came for lunch and ordered the lunch special. They gave us a full bowl of tortellini soup that was delicious. The broth was very light, perfect for the December chill. Then was the main dish. My mother ordered veal parmesan and I ordered farfalle vodka with chicken. There was so much, we had to take home. For dessert, we had tiramisu which was light and fluffy. The staff were pleasant and attentive. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

The menu is traditional and varied. 13 of us had different dishes from fish, meat, pasta & vegetarian. Also had coffees and desserts. Everything was delicious and it’s a BYOB. Great option.

Hello, After a day of apple picking, we stopped here for dinner. I had chicken, my son had chicken parmesan, and my husband had the veal. My son had tortellini in brodo and pasta with bean soup. It was all delicious. We will be back.

The lunch menu that they serve during the mid-week is a tremendous value. For $20.95 and the options they offer you, you get a soup or salad, entree, and choice of 2 desserts and coffee/tea.
