We vacationed in St. Augustine and made absolutely sure we ate here. My wife tries to find Chicken Francaise because she loves it and it’s hard to find, even harder to find a good one. Well, she loved it, she was happy and so was I. I had the fettuccine alfredo and added shrimp, it tied for the best meal for me during our vacation. It’s cozy inside and the African Gray bird whistling and talking was interesting and different.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious authentic Italian meal here. The reviews were accurate. The bread was crusty and the caponata spread delicious. The soup of the day was cream of mushroom with spinach yummy. We enjoyed our Penne vodka and the shrimp scampi. We had to try one of the desserts since they are all made there. We chose the bread pudding and were not disappointed. It had a few chocolate chips and was so warm and scrumptious. The staff was so attentive. Our waitress ( don’t know her name but she is of Chilean descent) was exceptional.

This place was very good and was very lucky being seated right away. Bread and dipping sauce were very good. Ordered chicken parmesan and tortellini carbonara. The chicken was good despite being buried under the sauce and angel hair. The sauce was good and sweet. The tortellini dish was good and smoky. I wish the sauce was a bit thicker. The pasta fagioli and Caesar salad were very good. The soup my wife was very impressed with the depth of flavor and creaminess of it. Will be back for sure.

First time here, we were going to Night of Lights and found this little gem❣️ very relaxing atmosphere, great service ( we didn’t even mention we were on a time crunch) and the food that we ordered did not disappoint. Lasagna was very good my husband had a seafood dish that was the special and our granddaughter had the kids spaghetti and meatball. Each entree came with soup or salad and bread. We will be going back

Amazing taste. I have tasted dishes in Italy and this place is really close. Although it’s a small place, it adds to the whole experience. The lunch portions may seems small but the pasta will fill you up. I had the fettuccine alfredo which was great on it’s own but glad I added the shimp. Additionally, the imported bread is outstanding.

First visit to Benedettos and it was a pleasant surprise. First off the wait staff and owners are top notch. Courteous, friendly, efficient and knowledgable. The cuisine is what I would classify as italian comfort food and there are quite a few places between st augustine and jacksonville that fill that void. Only casa benedettos I found to be one of the best. Items we tried included chicken francaise, ravioli with meat sauce, sausage & peppers, & chicken marsala. Let’s not forget the fresh baked bread which was outstanding. To a person everyone enjoyed their homemade Italian dish that I would put up against any other Italian eatery. Plenty of parking in this strip center as well. Inside and outside dining. No liquor license so it’s beer and wine only. This would be our new go to italian restaurant.

Very authentic. Service awesome, atmosphere great, food amazing. We had four different entries. All were amazing and so were the appetizers and desserts. We left over stuffed and paid about as much as we did having “bar food” the prior evening. This is a must go!

I really like this restaurant. Last time my bf and I went there I got the shrimp scampi; it was divine! He got spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs had too much filler (breadcrumbs?) in them; they were pretty bad. Everything else was great, the salad, service. So I recommend the scampi.

Food was amazing and so was the service! We started with rice balls as an appetizer. My husband had eggplant Parmesan and I had all of vodka with fettuccine instead of penne. The eggplant caponata they give you with the bread was incredible! Definitely a new go-to for us!
