Don Beni in Windsor and Maidenhead

Be clear - this is on Eton's High Street, not Windsor's nearby High Street the other side of the R. Thames by footbridge. Picturesque almost rustic village atmosphere and a nice welcome at he door. Great Pizza lunch, wine, etc., and great attention. Where else do you notice the children's water glasses being topped-up mid meal without asking? Professional, I thought. We had a lovely time.

Lovely restaurant with a friendly team I’ve been here couple of times with my family,food was lovely and the kids enjoyed it a lot Definitely coming back

Just fantastic. Our food was excellent, the service was great and the atmosphere perfect. This is a great place for authentic Italian cuisine. We were staying right across the street and spotted this place on arrival. We were delighted that we paid a visit. Highly recommended.

We called at 7.30 pm last night and were assured a table 9pm for a party of 6. We arrived just after 9pm and were told that table would be ready in 10-15 minutes. We requested to wait at the bar, there was plenty of space. They declined to let us wait there. As it was very cold outside and there was no queue, we were waiting in the portico with 2 children in our party. We were rudely told to wait outside and not in the portico, even though there was a bitterly cold gale outside. Extremely rude and condescending with undertones of racial prejudice. We were made to feel deeply unwelcome. Do not go here, extremely poor customer service.

As per usual we arrived without a reservation but were warmly welcomed. Food was fabulous, sirloin and fillet steaks were top notch as was the service. Highly recommend.

It was like going back to the 80's with the dark room, candles in wine bottles on the table. The decor needs bringing into the 21st century. It would have been nice to see what we were eating, but the lighting was so 'subdued' it was not easy. The menu choices could have been better. Sorry, we will not be visiting again

Really nice restaurant and staff were really friendly and attentive. Garlic bread starter was on point 8/10. But the mains were ok nothing more than average 6/10 lacked that flavour. Overall a 7/10.

They very kindly squeezed us in and what a lovely restaurant. Friendly staff, delicious food and lovely ambience. What a find!

Wow, what a really nice find, I ordered the calzone which was the size of a small pillow by the time it had arrived. The pizza was perfect with the contents, absolutely full of taste and full of flavour. Mohamed (aka momo) was both attentive professional and outstanding. This is one place I would definitely go to again, particularly with business I arrived early and didn’t feel rushed at all. Thanks team for a great service and amazing food.

I have eaten pizza all over the world and this restaurant is the best. Thank you so much. Pizza was out of this world and staff very friendly. How Italian restaurants used to be.

Tasty traditional food, charming staff and an ambience conducive to a fun evening with mates, dates & friends. What’s not to like?

Booked a month ago for our 34th anniversary and was not disappointed. The quality of the service from the time we arrived until we left was exceptional that was only exceeded by the food. Excellent varied menu. Will not hesitate to go again when stopping.

Nice food and decent prices for Eton. The restaurant had relatively fast service as it was full.

Good service, but food was awful: the pizza was reminded me an Aldi frozen pizza. Me and my girlfriend couldn’t sleep at night; pizza was also very difficult to digest

Lovely Atmosphere and First class Food as Always. The Live music is always Superb along with the dancing all night. Highly recommended

Authentic, delicious Italian food in the heart of Eton, Don Beni is the perfect restaurant for families or even parties (they have long tables in the back). Incredible pizzas, delicious fresh salads (tricolore is a favourite) and tasty al dente pasta just as it should be. Kind service too with extra care made towards children. Just a joy!

The restaurant is lovely and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was great, like having a home made meal. We will definitely be going back to try more of their delicious menu.

Was passing and thought we would stop for lunch, all the food we had was really good and reasonably priced, the staff couldn’t do enough was very nice to my little girls. Would highly recommend.

This Restaurant is a gem! We were a group of 6 that visited Saturday evening. The service, food & atmosphere was brilliant! A great night was had by all! Thank you to all the staff

A wonderful 'traditional' Italian restaurant with a great range of pizzas, pasta dishes and other Italian delights A casual atmosphere and good value. Thoroughly recommended

We used to frequent the restaurant when they were opposite the Castle. Great service, great food. Just as enjoyable as it ever was but with a better venue. We will be back.

We left it late to make a booking while stopped in Eton on a boating trip recently. It was a Saturday too. The staff of Don Beni did everything they could to fit us in. It was just a lovely experience. A real old style Italian restaurant with gingham tablecloths and chianti bottle candle holders. The food was exquisite and the staff had a fabulous drama about them. I will most certainly go back.

We stayed in Windsor for 2 nights on a family break and booked the Dom Beni for the first night of our stay. There is a great choice of food to eat, with some excellent daily specials. The food was perfect and the staff were so friendly, in fact it was so good we decided to book for the second night as well.

After being badly let down by Henry VI just a few doors away, we paid a visit to Don Beni and what a superb find it turned out to be. The manager, Ciro, was most welcoming and very friendly and the rest of the service staff were also.The food was also of a very good quality and I will be most definitely returning on our next visit to Eton next year

What a fabulous restaurant. The staff were engaging, friendly and so helpful. We had a lovely cosy table by the window but they suggested to move us to a bigger table because we’d ordered several starters to share. The atmosphere was buzzing, the service was great and we were not rushed to leave even when I think we were the last ones in there. We had moules, calamari,King prawns and the remaining pizza I had no space for was popped into a pizza box for me to take home. Thank you!

Several visits recently to this restaurant have all been brilliant. Service, food and pricing are all great and I would recommend a visit here for a meal to anyone. Best to book in advance as it is very popular.

Decor tired, but don't judge food on that. Except in this case. Food average. One prawn dish in shell, the other not. Steaks, ok. Sauce on steaks not so good.However what spoiled our 12th anniversary meal was the staff. The manager was not a happy person. The staff on wokingham were always happy and welcoming. Food was always good. None of the staff seemed happy. Service shoddy and careless. No interest in whether we were enjoying our meals. Not one smile from any member of staff. Weren't asked if we wanted desert and we left without so much as a thank you. Definitely had its day and saw so many other better places on our way back to our hotel. Not worth the walk.

Very unsure as to why this is so highly rated. Came in for a couple of takeaway pizzas and had to go back to send them return them. Both were so dry, terrible quality of base and incredibly overpriced (even for Windsor). The only positive I would say was that they were refunded as both the waiters acknowledged that they were bad. Never again!

Huge menu choice and very large portions. The pasta was beautifully cooked and the service friendly, good value as well. Worth a visit.

After a 12 hour exhausting but great day out sight seeing in London we got back to Windsor late but wanted finish off the day with an Italian meal. We were lucky to find Don Beni pretty late so thank you to the staff for accommodating us. We ordered a American hot pizza, a Funghi pizza and a pasta dish Napoli & a side order of fries. All delicious, generous portions. Great service, welcoming friendly staff. Thanks for a nice finish to our day. Highly recommended!

5 stars Great food and great service. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure!

So delicious, we got a normal tiramisu and one of the new strawberry tiramisus with dark chocolate - both were excellent. The strawberry one is fab for people that don’t like the alcohol or coffee in a traditional one. Generous portions on both and great service as ever.

Incredible authentic Italian food, cannot recommend enough. Amazing pizza, pastas and salads. Staff were really friendly too when on the phone and delivering.

So happy to see that it is open during lockdown for takeaway, we had two slices of Adrian’s Tiramasu and it was amazing. Fab service, COVID friendly, would recommend.

Despite lockdown, they still deliver friendly service with incredible food, thanks Adrian especially!

Food was great, brilliant service, very authentic. If visiting Windsor make sure to come to Don Beni for the best Italian in town.

Mi esposo, yo y nuestro hijo de 22 años visitamos aquí por primera vez, una decoración maravillosa, me encantan especialmente las velas, la comida es deliciosa, un gran servicio, nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en la Toscana y, para colmo, nuestro hijo juega al polo, así que estaba muy contento de ver todos los recuerdos, una gran noche y volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a Eton. Enero, Billy y Beau.

Don Beni se encuentra a la derecha al caminar por Eton High Street alejándose de Windsor. El restaurante es acogedor con un interior tradicional de madera oscura y muchos rincones. El menú es totalmente italiano con una amplia selección de platos de carne, pescado, pasta y pizza. La pizza está en el 8. 95 a 12. 50 con pasta alrededor de 11. 95. Tenga en cuenta que la recepción móvil en el interior es deficiente, pero está bien una vez que salga. En general, una agradable comida familiar relajada y económica.

Italiano familiar pasado de moda. Personal amigable. Mi compañero dijo que era uno de los mejores calzones que ha tenido (¡y ha comido muchos!). Mis albóndigas estaban geniales y la salsa era definitivamente casera con tomates cherry. No hay ensalada en el menú, pero ofrecen una: tamaño generoso y muchos ingredientes, incluidas aceitunas. Buen vino de la casa. En general, una muy buena comida.

Came here for my birthday with the family and the food was superb Nice big portions and fantastic service from the waitress who made my birthday feel special Many thanks and will see you again

Uno de nuestros clientes habituales, aunque tengo que admitirlo, está un poco decepcionado hoy. No existen reglas de distanciamiento social. Sin orden / gestión / liderazgo. Se fue antes de lo que había anticipado originalmente.

One of our favourites - we go regularly, and it never disappoints. Great food, excellent service, friendly staff and reasonable prices

Been a few times now ....service is always tops, food has been consistently superb, top wine list . Love everything about this place . Definitely worth a visit.

Food ok, very unwelcoming on arrival and very in attentive . Wouldn’t go back , staff seemed very unfriendly.

I come here every Christmas Eve with my sister to enjoy the delicious hearty food and warm ambience of this place. Staff and service always very friendly! A tradition I intend to continue from the past 4 years...

Very nice restaurant and good food with reasonable price. super friendly staff. I can recommend this restaurant. To get the last star it need little more heat.

Habíamos estado aquí antes y descubrimos que no tenía gluten. Qué cambio esta vez. ! Habíamos mencionado en la reserva que tres personas de nuestro grupo no tenían gluten, ya que son celíacos. No hubo problema fue la respuesta. Qué falso era esto. Había alrededor de tres opciones sin gluten en todo el menú. Nos dijeron que se había agregado harina a la mayoría de los platos, incluso pasta a la carbonara y espagueti a la boloñesa. (La pasta no tenía gluten). Como teníamos un chef con nosotros, sabíamos que esto no era cierto. ¡Incluso la caprese aparentemente tenía gluten hasta que dijimos que era imposible y la camarera sacó el queso y dijo que tenía aditivos! Claramente, un caso de no tener conocimiento del gluten o de cualquier alérgeno. Ella dijo que el chef dijo que toda la comida estaba cocinada con harina, pero creemos que era un caso en el que no se molestaba en cocinar nada fuera de lo común. También pedimos una pizza para niños y nos cobraron por una para adultos hasta que señalé el error. Hemos comido en varios restaurantes italianos y no hemos tenido problemas para pedir platos sin gluten. El personal aquí debe ser más consciente de los alérgenos y adaptarse a las necesidades dietéticas de sus huéspedes.

Went here for a quick meal, the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was very good and served nice and hot. Reasonably priced too, will be coming back again.

A cosy Ítalo-Argentinian restaurant with the most polite and friendly staff. - we just had a perfect birthday dinner. The food was truly five stars - unpretentious yet beautifully presented, satisfying our taste buds to the max. Definitely going back!

Excellent food generous portions garlic bread with cheese HUGE. Food good quality well cooked. Service a bit hit n miss generally ok but very busy. Very cramped seating (cosy) quite uncomfortable chairs and bench seats. Not really suitable for old aunt freda but we had a great meal.

We live close by and have walked by Don Beni dozens of times and decided to give it a shot tonight instead of the usual, more highly rated Italian restaurants in the area. I wanted it to be good but the service is disorganized, inexperienced and inattentive. The mains and starters were of average quality and the desserts are a mystery because they never came back to ask if we wanted any. In the future, I’ll keep on walking.

Came for the coffee but stayed for dinner. The quality of service we received was amazing. Very attentive staff and

Well I can't even say that we tasted the food but for me Service is just as important. I booked a table for our sone to celebrate his 10th Birthday. We booked a taxi especially to get there and was told upon arrival they were too busy and couldn't accommodate us. I think its disgusting and cruel. It left my Son upset and in tears and I can't tell you what I felt like doing to these horrible people.

Went to this place when passing with 2 friends looked real old Italian family place tables dressing as you might expect, Food service was slow, soup was nice but all 3 mains were horrible, waitress never asked if we enjoyed food even though the plates were collected with about 80% left on plate.

Lovely friendly staff and amazing atmosphere, an overall very authentic feel. Would defiantly go back again. The only reason I have given it a 4 stars not 5 is garlic bread was a bit over done and for my taste their was a bit to much cheese on the pizza and waiting for the bill was a little while. But overall most waiting times were very quick. I went on a Saturday.

Old fashioned Italian - food very good. Service just a little slow nice atmosphere really enjoyed it

My husband and I both had veal which was some of the best we have ever eaten. I had the Veal Saltinbocca and my husband had Scalloppina Pizzaiola. The sauces on both were beautiful, the veal was tender and cooked perfectly. We then shared a wonderful Tiramisu.

Pasta dura como piedra poco hecha, mismo menú super grande que hace 20 años, sin cambios. Escalope dura y masticable como el caucho, la carne tenía un sabor pastoso y viejo. Sugiero que el propietario vea algunos episodios de caballeros de cocina de Ramsay y reconsidere su hora de cambio. Perdiste un cliente de mucho tiempo, 20 años. . . .

Hemos comido aquí varias veces como pareja y con amigos. Es nuestro sitio al que ir si no podemos tomar una decisión.

Estábamos esperando en la puerta cuando abrieron al mediodía y nos dieron una cálida bienvenida. Queríamos ir en un viaje en barco, así que tuvimos un tiempo limitado, esto no fue un problema, no nos sentimos apresurados o que nuestra comida estaba lista "demasiado rápido". El servicio fue excelente.

We just loved this restaurant. The staff and service were amazing and the atmosphere incredible. The food was well prepared and very tasty. Don Beni is in a great location and has an extensive menu. The food quality is excellent, the prices for both food and drink are reasonable, the service is incredible. Well worth a visit.

Reservamos la última mesa disponible para su 'noche de música' regular y tuvimos el mejor momento de nuestras vidas. La comida era increíble (y porciones muy generosas), el personal era atento y el cantante era maravilloso. Un ambiente maravilloso que llevó a una interesante variedad de baile! Vaya por la comida pero quédese por la diversión en la noche de música.

Ciertamente, lo único que recordaremos es lo amable y complaciente que era la señora con la que hablamos cuando hicimos una reserva para reservar una mesa para ese día. Lo mismo se aplica cuando llegamos a comer: ciertamente te hizo sentir como un cliente valioso y eso no sucede en algunos restaurantes. Es un lugar de aspecto tradicional pero necesita un poco de pintura / brillo, y los jarrones de flores de plástico en la ventana deben ir. Comida: entrantes de langostinos y plato de queso caliente muy agradable. Risotto de salmón agradable, pero los grandes tubos de pasta que mi compañero tenía en su plato eran muy al dente y solo se tomaban demasiadas masticaciones para seguir, así que tal vez la mitad de la pasta quedaba en el plato. Así que una pequeña cosa negativa, pero pedir que se cambiara el plato por una pasta más suave, me habría dejado con mi plato de comida y, como no sabíamos cuánto tiempo duraría ya que estaban ocupados, no lo pidió. . Comeríamos allí de nuevo si estuviéramos en esa zona.

Hadn't been here for a very long time. The menu was pretty much The same. We all found something we liked to eat and was tasty but the pizzas were very big! Must share one next time as such a waste. The spaghetti al vongole was good. The bill was veryhigh because of the drinks prices - obviously.However the food was tasty regular Italian food.

An absolutely amazing meal as always we love it was a lovely way to spend our 21st wedding anniversary food was so good and service excellent

My wife and I met up with my son in Windsor last Sunday and came across this restaurant which was very busy . We called in and reserved a table for later .

I had visited other franchises in Crowethorne and Winkfield before.

Good quality of the food, drinks and service, but I just found it a bit pricey. The place is cosy and everything that we had was tasty but quality/price a bit overrated.

Was staying in Windsor for a few days as we were going to ascot races. We went to this restaurant on a busy sat night we never booked so when we called in it was full so we went for a drink and returned at 9 pm. Lovely friendly staff and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Would definatley return if visiting the area.

Popped into Don Beni for lunch while passing through Eton and so so glad we did. Immediately we loved the unique atmosphere and warm, friendly personalities of the staff who were very attentive.

Wanted to surprise my g/f. She likes Italian food. I called and made a booking and advised I want a more intimate seating area. Boom done, gave us a lovely table candlelit, great ambience and music. I had a gift and the waiter arranged to bring it with the dessert... simply amazing. Beautiful food, attention to detail noticeable. Warm friendly. Great stuff.

Excellent evening of great food and lovely friendly service. The starters were superb and the pizza delicious and excellent value for money. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend if your in Eton.

Vale la pena una visita. Como un grupo de cuatro, todos disfrutamos nuestras elecciones. El personal fue excelente. El entorno profesionalmente acogedor y nos sentimos cómodos tan pronto como nos sentamos. Definitivamente voy a ir de nuevo. Gran valor para un restaurante en una ubicación premium.

2nd visit...my son loves the pizza! Staff friendly and food lovely. We made a special trip to Windsor to eat here. The walls are covered with eclectic pics and photos so plenty to look at while waiting for food.

Visitando Windsor por la noche, nos encontramos con este encantador, acogedor, auténtico italiano, alejado del bullicio y ajetreo de la concurrida calle principal de Windsor. Ambos teníamos pasta, la mejor que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo, vino encantador y amables atentos camareros italianos. No esperamos mucho tiempo para la comida. Los postres eran fabulosos también! Esperamos volver aquí de nuevo la próxima vez que visitemos Windsor!

Visitamos el restaurante Don Beni anoche.

Este restaurante es la hermana de Don Beni en Crowthorne, que ya he revisado positivamente. Si tienes la oportunidad de estar en el área, entonces debes comer aquí, ¡no te decepcionará! La comida es excelente, el vino está bien después de haber respirado por un tiempo y tampoco es tan caro. Un personal muy amable que trabaja con usted para que no se sienta apurado a comer e ir para que puedan girar las mesas.

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and our food was absolutely excellent and don’t be afraid to ask for something not on the menu.

I found this wee Italian quite by accident. Very welcoming although we didn't book. Great atmosphere, relaxed even though it was busy. Great food, very efficient service. Very good value too - for Eton! I had spaghetti carbonara which was excellent. Good selection of wines too. Highly recommended and I'm definitely going back.

Very appealing from outside. Cosy with friendly staff. Delicious food and wine. Great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Visiting Windsor for the weekend strolled past and liked the authentic appearance and choice of food.

We had lasagne and aubergine Parmigiana. The lasagne was mostly cheese and there was a very small amount of aubergine in a lot of tomato sauce for the Parmigiana. We thought the ambiance and staff were lovely, but food was very mediocre and overpriced. Pizza Express food is better, which is a shame as we prefer independent restaurants.

Called in on way home from Legoland based on reviews. 4 kids, parents and grandparents. Proper Italian food, family friendly. Good generous portions and tastes to die for. Lots of photos around the room from films like raging bull and the godfather. Brilliant food. Really can't overstate this.

The Restaurant looks very cosy looking in from the outside, but when seated(table for

We chose to eat at Don Beni after reading the reviews and we were not disappointed. Our pasta dishes were really tasty and acccompanied with yummy garlic bread. Staff were friendly and happy to chat and answer any questions we had. A lovely friendly restaurant, we would definitely eat here again.

Visited here on Saturday lunch time with a friend , the service was top class , I had the seafood risotto which was fantastic, highly recommend this place .

Visited with wife and young kids. Loved the authentic decor and staff were very friendly. Typical Italian food but everything we had was of high quality. Overall the meal was delicious, personally really enjoyed the pizza, only problem was we were too full for dessert!

Food wasn't spectacular but the Staff were very polite, friendly and welcoming, I wont be rushing back here.

Like all the times that we spend here the Sunday , the employees doesn’t disappoint us . We had 3 courses excellent food , excellent service.

This is a charming restaurant in Eton. The food is delicious and the service is even better. The owners are there and make you feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. I definitely recomend this place.

Been meaning to visit for awhile, but it’s always been busy which we thought was a good sign.

An old building with lots of charm. A great choice of the popular traditional Italian dishes, with generous portions. The lasagne is excellent. Don Beni's staff are cheerful and obliging, the wine is good and their prices are reasonable. We go regularly.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Look forward to our next visit.

Rude waiter who spoilt our experience, teamed with dirty cloth, plates and cutlery. Pizza medicore, much better italian around!

We ate here last night. The portions are huge and the food very tasty. They do a great kids' menu (adult sized portions!) with lots of choices and the kids get chips with whatever they order. Loads of food! Service was great, very friendly and attentive.

We live very close to the restaurant, & cannot resist our weekly visit, whatever takes ones fancy be it pizza, pastas, meat, fish etc. you can be sure they will look & taste great, always served with a smile, especially from our man Marcel. The restaurant keeps its authentic Italian identity, & wow try the chefs homemade breads.

Had a lovely meal here with friends tonight. The pizza I had was very good and the rest of the dishes looked good too. The staff were outstanding! Really helpful with the menu and very attentive when we needed anything.

Last night I went to Don Beni restaurant with 10 people of my family..The food and service was excellent.The price reasonable.The restaurant was clean and cute.We will go back.

The dinner with my husband was delightful. He enjoy the ribs wich was done exactly how we ask for and served with 2 special dips. I had the beautiful plate that you can see, chicken, cheese and pasta. Excellent plate and perfect taste. I love...

We have been going to this reastaurant for years . Never had a problem. But last night 8 of us were very disappointed . Had to wait nearly half hour for drinks then mains took an hour to arrived and 3 of them were cold . Side orders did not arrive. Shame maybe a while before we visit again.
