" My experience at Bencotto was quite enjoyable, and the food definitely did not disappoint. The calamari was crispy and perfectly seasoned. I also ordered the carbonara, which was rich and creamy. The only drawback was the slightly cramped seating arrangement, but the warm service made up for it. I would recommend it for a nice Italian dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
