We were welcomed in very genuinely & friendly. Staff was nice, although our waiter wasn't the most attentive, there was a party of 8 that took his time more.
The food was hot & tasted good. The cream puff pistachio dessert tasted good but looked like an absolute mess, not sure if that's how it was supposed to look but it didn't look pretty. It's actually more of a dish of pistachio cream with a couple of tiny cream puffs underneath. We'd go back again to try some pasta & chicken parm.

Benny's knocked it out of the park for our anniversary dinner. We started with the brociole messenesi for the appetizer and my husband ate 5 of the 6 rolls before I could finish my first. He was in heaven. The sangria was refreshing and light. But the star of the show for me was the pistachio pasta. I've never had an italian dish this rich and creamy and with such a unique flavor profile. I swapped out the fennel sausage with chicken because I didnt want pork. But I think it would have been even better had I left it the way Joe Benny intended it. Often times I get a little bored with Italian food because...how many ways can you do mozzarella, tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The pistachio sauce was like finding buried treasure. I can't express thoroughly how delicious this was. Great portions! I took home half and had the left overs a few days later. It reheated well and tasted just as good. My husband got the crab cake and was really impressed with the amount of lump crab meat, little filling, and perfectly seasoned. I don't eat seafood, but i could imagine anyone coming to Baltimore for dinner would be impressed if this cake landed on their table. Benny's also went out of their way to make it a special experience for us. The waiter Michael was excellent; personable, attentive, and knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and making suggestions. They surprised us with a delicious bread pudding dessert that we shared. Our reservation was for 545 and we were treated to happy hour drink specials, even though we were in the dining room, as well as a discount for dining early! I nearly fell of my chair! The manager came and checked on us as well and wished us happy anniversary. He said that he knew we had lots of choices for dining, and he appreciated that we chose Benny's to celebrate at. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and we left feeling really satisfied in both our bellies and souls! I'm looking forward to returning and trying out more delicious dishes. There was a band setting up as we were walking out, so maybe next time we'll get to enjoy some live music as well. Do yourself a favor and go eat at Benny's.
