Don Beni in Bracknell Forest

Wow what can I say from the minute we arrived treated so well nothing was a problem food amazing deano ,Maria and Jo Jo unbelievable there customer service above and beyond highly recommend this restaurant and thank u jojo for the lift home see u soon xx

Awful don’t bother. Having lived in Windsor for 5 years and eaten and had so many amazing takeaways from Don Beni Eton I was excited to find out my local had a Don Beni in Winkfield. The first time ordering and It was horrific. We ordered a pizza and pasta which we always get from eton, unfortunately the flavours from Winkfield were diabolical. The pizza was like rubber, the pasta has no taste to it. We would never order again.

Very delicious food and attentive staff. The restaurant is beautiful with a lot of pictures of pollo players , outside area its great and quiet

Mother’s Day late lunch, starters and main course for 4, attentive service, food was fantastic for all of us, great wine, main courses were mixed seafood pasta, salmon risotto, chicken pasta and hot pizza, tasty and cooking hot, first time there and will defo be back, thank you guys 🥰

We used to be regulars at Don Beni as we live locally but the drinks are now so obscenely expensive (£13.50 for an Aperol Spritz or £5.95 for a pint of lime and soda) that we’ve stopped visiting. The toilets are also in dire need of updating. I felt like I was at primary school in the 90s.

Booked a table for Saturday lunchtime. Arrived to find place completely empty but despite that we were shown to a table for two in a dark corner. Very rustic interior, with a lot of pictures relating to horse racing given proximity to Ascot Racecourse, and well worn menus. Given we were initially only the diners service was prompt but not overly friendly. However, the food more than made up for the lack of a welcome. We shared a cheesy garlic bread to start and then had Spaghetti Napoli and a Don Beni pizza - both very generous portions and tasty. We washed all this down with two glasses of Pinot Grigio, a Moretti and cappuccino. Total with tip £75. Shame the service did not match the delicious food. ps: Don Beni is located in an old pub, The White Horse, which closed in circa 1999.

Everything was fine when we arrived, the restaurant itself is quaint. Outside of that, the restaurant staff was pretty uncaring, and were very un charming and disinterested. The food was mediocre, far from authentic Italian. To top it off it was nearly £20 for water and tea for only 2 people! What rubbish.

Ordered food from here for mine and my partners 10 year anniversary The food was exceptional was not expecting high quality delicious food for a very reasonable price

The menu does cater for Vegetarian options however I couldn’t see any reference to any Vegan options being available. There are a good range of Vegetarian options to try out, although some may think there isn't enough. For our take-away this time, we ordered the Margarita Pizza, Garlic bread with cheese and tomato, Penne Arrabiata and fries. The garlic bread was amazing. It was saucy (the tomato sauce) and the garlic taste was not too overpowering, with a perfect amount of cheese. I could eat 10 of these in one sitting!The pasta has Don Beni’s own Arrabiata flavour which doesn’t have as much garlic as I usually would add when I’m making pasta, so it isn’t too sharp tasting but the tomato-y sauce is really smooth and rich tasting with a good amount of chilli.Finally the fries, I wouldn’t usually have thought to order fries from here (not sure why) but once I tried it, I think these are some of the best fries I’ve had. They aren’t too salty or too crunchy, they are soft yet firm and not super soaked in grease – they are just right.

Just hada take away the food was as good as when you eat in the resturant.I had mushroom rissotto the portion was very large and tasy the pizzas were good too

Well what a charmimg place, NOT.Visited here for my Wifes birthday. She doesn't drink, so asked for alcohol free wine. We don't sell it said the waiter and looking at me, we don't sell alcohol free beer either, which wasn't relevant as I do drink. My wife said that she had a little bottle of booze free wine in her bag and would it be ok if she toasted her birthday with one glass. That will cost you £17.95 he says as we have to charge you for a bottle of wine. I asked him if he could ask the manager as it was a birthday. Off he goes and comes back a minute later with manager says no. He couldn't make a concession nor be bothered to come out and explain even though there were only about ten people in the restaurant. I should also point out that when booking I had stressed the birthday and actually asked them to maybe say happy birthday or perhaps one of those little cakes with a candle in. Nope, nothing, nada. As a result of this warm caring treatment my wife had a basic pizza, I had a chicken breast and we had a glass of tap water and a diet coke. The irony is that we would have ordered more food and I would most certainly have had a few beers or a bottle of wine. So in the end we spent less that £30.00 and legged it out of there asap. Basically they shot themselves in the foot. Thank you Tom & Jerrys for a memorable evening for all the wrong reasons. I would have had a word with the manager there and then but you don't want to make a rubbish birthday meal even worse with an argument.

We had a lovely evening at Don Benis... until the the bill arrived,We were charged £13 for a double rum and coke. I’m shocked that they can charge this price.We questioned the price and the waiter arrived this was ridiculous but his manager insisted and he had customers complain about this previously.We waited at the end for the manager to come over but after waiting 10 minutes and our cab outside we gave.Disappointing considering the rest of the meal and service was great.

Visited here for the 1st time this evening. Not the best. Decor very run down. Staff non attentive. Service slow. 1 hour for a pizza.Very average food. Had booked a table through their website a few days ago, called today to bring it forward an hour earlier which was confirmed. They then were confused when we had arrived early.What I didnt like was the brazen sign outside proudly stating they did not participate in the government scheme of dine out, which is their choice but not sure why they needed the 3 exclamation marks at the end of the notice.Very noisy acoustic noise within the restaurant. Thank god this visit was not for a romantic purpose as stuggled to hear each other speak.We wanted to sit outside but the garden overrun by wasps, not their fault but perhaps cut down on the flowers outide or pointless having an outdoor seating area.Wont be back anytime soon, or ever for that matter.

We came here because it was listed on the government’s 50% off scheme, only to find they had removed themselves? Slightly disappointing start but hey ho. Starters were good, waited a long time for main course, by which time it had got dark and we needed to ask for a candle as we couldn’t see a thing outside. Strange service, chap didn’t speak to us once and made no effort to make us welcome. Overall we wont come back BUT the food is good and Im hoping we just caught the waiter on a bad day. I have friends who love this place so im sure our experience isn’t the norm. Please get some lighting outside too so we can see our food!

Hadn’t visited for a couple of years so thought we would give it another go for my partners birthday. There was a few people sat outside and only a few tables sat inside too so we sat inside. The host was lovely, took us to our table and asked us to sanitise our hands before we sat down. We ordered drinks and starters. Starters were average, I think £8.50 for 4 prawns was a little steep, and the quality just wasn’t there. We then sat for quite a while for our empty plates to be taken. The pizza we ordered - the don beni was lovely. We decided not to have desert, but we waited and watched the waiter look at us several times while cleaning clean tables, and moving chairs around us several times, before finally coming over to our table (id gotten my card out and left it on the table to try and attract the attention). I felt that 4.95 was also quite expensive for post-mix Coke too. Could have been so much better had the service been there, considering there were several members of staff and barely any tables seated.

This was only our second trip out to eat since lockdown but we were very pleased with the additional safety measures in place. Food was first class and staff very friendly.

A lovely take away had this week from Don Beni, Chavey Down. We had seafood risotto and pollo naughty !!! Beautiful food that had been freshly cooked whilst we waited. Would highly recommend

This is our favourite restaurant, and in ten years of going we have never been disappointed. This time we had a table of 12 with friends who live far away. The restaurant was very busy but the service was excellent and the food amazing. You pay for what you have but I’d rather do this than have an average meal.

Four of us came to eat at lunchtime with my ten month old son too. The restaurant was much larger than expected and once lunch service began started to fill up and the atmosphere was good. The service was excellent from the start, and we were attended to really well. All servers were also really lovely with our son, interacting with him and really friendly, a nice family friendly welcome, which is important to us. We had the garlic bread to share as a starter, which was large enough for all four of us, plus my son also had a taste! I chose the Napolitano pizza topped with anchovies, capers and black olives for the main which was delicious. A beautifully cooked thin and crispy base. The others in our party a dessert, two of us had the tiramisu from the specials board which was lovely and light, perfect after a large lunch. The berry cheesecake was also ordered and I was told it was nice. We enjoyed our meal so much that my husband, myself and our son are planning to return. We are also planning to visit the Eton branch as it's a bit closer to us.

Carmen was an absolute wonder she couldn't have been nicer to us. She deserves the world on her side and everyone with her. I 100% recommend this restraunt. I came her with my grandparents and we had an amazing time. Well done Carmen you are an amazing human being!!!!!

The staff were great, food was great, lovely atmosphere couldn't ask for more. Would definitely return.

Had a romantic meal here with the wife. A real taste of Italy. Can’t recommend this place high enough.

5 of us visited on a busy Saturday night - service efficient and waitress very friendly (and Italian!) and knowledgeable about dishes.Food was all freshly made and very tasty, I can especially recommend the crab ravioli. Portions were large and great value for money.The decor really transports you to an Italian trattoria with open views through to the kitchen. Only drawback was it was very noisy at times with waiters collecting/returning food orders nearby but maybe this was because our table was close to this service area.We all agreed we would definitely recommend the restaurant and will definitely return.

We've been regulars of this establishment for a number of years now. The food is always freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Sometimes, waiting times can be a little lengthy during peak times, but you can tell everyone is running around doing their best. Although not ground breaking cuisine, it's very pleasant and we'll keep visiting every couple of months

We sat outside and enjoyed lovely food & pizza, wine and coffee and great service! I'd driven past many times but never visited. This is the first of many I hope!

Similarly to another review my wife and I are not regulars (and are now unlikely to be) but have eaten here before a few times. The food has always been reasonable but this evening the service was very poor. 15 mins to take drinks orders, We were still waiting to order food by the time these were finished. Over an hour and a half before we received any food, meanwhile a more 'regular' couple had arrived and finished a two course meal. Either go a lot or don't bother.

A cosy restaurant tucked into a pretty little street in Winkfield. Tasty, authentic Italian cuisine, with melt in your mouth pizza! Friendly, prompt customer service too.

I booked a table to celebrate my partner and sisters birthday. We where shown to the table and made to wait. It took over 30 minutes to even be offered a drink. It was clear the the regular Customers where priority. Over 50 minutes I had to summon a waitress to take our order whilst all regulars had starters, main and lots of attention. Forty minutes later our starters of garlic bread arrived, after another 20 minutes, we abandoned our visit and was offered no apologies and when I said that the service was so poor, they threatened to call the police. All the regular customers had enjoyed 3 courses and drinks in the time. I would have not had minded but it was not busy with less than 50% capacity.

Not been here for twelve years so this evening was such a lovely surprise. We had two adults melas and a child's size meal all were first class and we will certainly return very soon :-)

I have been eating here for many years and visited with some friends from the USA

We have been coming here for years , the food never fails to deliver , outstanding ! However the head waiter / manager always seems grumpy and unapproachable despite us being “regulars “ . Makes you feel you are an inconvenience, no charisma , no banter , just “ give me your order please “ .. makes you think twice returning .

The food and the service were superbly delivered considering that the house was full even when we asked to move table the boss man gladly did for us as we felt a bit cold near the door . The prawns I had to start were absolutely great followed by the steak with pepper sauce that was cooked to perfection ! !

Love coming here. You know what you’re going to get, the food is just amazing. Pasta, pizza and risotto are great! Wine is great, staff are friendly, however make sure you book as they are always busy!!

I have been here twice in the last year. The first time the service was extremely slow , the food mediocre and the staff were not really welcoming.

Me and my husband went for a meal one weekend. We both had two courses. I had the mushrooms to start, just two flat mushrooms on a plate with lots of watery sauce. My husband had the calamari which he said was thick and rubbery. For mains we both had pizza, which we waited ages for. The pizza was good but you can’t really flyer pizza wrong. It was a shame the food wasn’t great as I thought the decor and surroundings were nice and the staff were busy but friendly.

Not the best, too slow, ham was not Parma just Tesco honey roast. No fresh rocket either. Service terrible

Pizzas were quite authentic which was good. We asked for a jug of table water which was brought in glasses and no offer to top them up. Service was slow and we had to ask twice for our bill even though the restaurant wasn't busy at the time we were in. Pity because the setting is lovely and the decor although dark is quite interesting with all the photos.

The inside looks bit odd, but once you get your food, then it's completely different story. Amazing!

Decided to visit as we had not been for awhile and as it was my birthday treat my wife and I had booked a table. On arrival did not acknowledge our booking and cleared a table for us.Left waiting for 30 minutes before being asked if we wanted a drink. Further 15 minutes before menus arrived eventually drinks appeared and we were left waiting again. In the meantime a family of 4 arrived at the next table and had drinks and starters before we gave our orders. Starters were very enjoyable, unfortunately my wife's steak had more gristle than meat when mentioned to waiter he said but you have eaten it our reply was because we did not want to wait another hour for a replacement.

Was on a business trip staying down the road in an Air B&B;, tried here on recommendation of the hostess. Completely bread & oils, Lovely pasta, one of the best side salads I’ve ever seen, friendly efficient staff. Well worth a visit.

Me and my husband we came here for the first time as we thought it was a pub , but our night was changed completely. We had a very lovely meal and a nice bottle of white wine which was recommended by the man who looked after us.

Just had a lovely meal here with my family for my fathers 67 birthday , service was good , very friendly staff and the food portions were enormous and really tasty as some of us couldn’t handle everything so we decide to take it away with us.

went here with family who were up for the weekend,the table we had was by the serving hatch ,darkly lit there,so they had candles on the table to see the menu ,my family used there light on there phone to see the menu .very cold in there ,it was down to the front door being opened regularly by customers in/out,could do with another door on the front to give it an air lock .service was ok .my food was bland .had better out of a tin.not a good choice of beer .only had italian lager .no havanna club rum .will not be going here again.

So had family staying for the weekend and thought we'd try don Beni, well never again the food was awful only 1 of 6 of us enjoyed the food , the service was ok, the restaurant was freezing and the noise we had to ask them to stop banging the plates anyway we won't be returning

Lovely friendly atmosphere with amazing food as always. The tiramisu is the best I have ever had 5 star all the way.

We all sat down to a lovely table but was bad for my back ( the chair) the waiter kindly found us a better chair for my back. He was very helpful we all choose our food he helped us with my dish mixed seafood pasta it was the best he told the chef to make it spicer, He always made sure we had our drinks refilled. He even got the chef to make nuggets &chips; for the little one , my son as been twice before he said he’d rather go there for the celebration and we all wasn’t disappointed.we gave the cake to the waiter & he brought it out when we asked my daughter in law to be was so surprised she had no idea.

We had an ok ish meal! The plain garlic bread was really dry that my son refused to eat it and the calamari was not good, I didn’t want to complain as it was my fathers 70th Birthday meal and he was enjoying his and my son (9) has autism and if I complain it fuels his anxieties.

I have visited Don Beni, Winkfield Row, many times. It’s a great place to eat either as a couple or with friends. The service is excellent as is the friendly atmosphere. They take great care to ensure you have a fabulous evening. The menu is great value for money - and the complimentary shot at the end of the meal is a lovely touch. You won’t be disappointed

My family and i visited for my birthday we couldont of been happier from the moment we walked through the door to them ordering us a taxi home.

Love meeting friends at Don Beni. amazing selection of fabulous food. Wonderful service and atmosphere. Mary Penny

Yet again the staff and food are exceptional! Excellent attentive service and freshly cooked food! They even accommodated a “no garlic” sauce!

I counted myself as a regular at Don Benis as the food was nice, simple Italian food that you didn’t get bored of.

Just had a great evening again food lovely and staff great

Great relaxed evening. We have been coming here for over 12 years. Always relaxed always great service and yummy food. Just around the corner and always a pleasure - thanks team.

Warm friendly staff and great food at good prices. Seafood rissotto is my absolute alltime favourite!

My family and I were out on a pleasant family walk and thought it would be nice to stop-off to enjoy a hot drink. We had done this once before and sat outside where there were no other diners, we were happy to do so again. Upon entering the restaurant and making this request politely we were curtly and loudly told “No food? You want drinks then go to the pub, we are not a pub!!!” in front of the other diners. It was both humiliating and completely unnecessary. We were then practically kicked out the restaurant; the man ushered us out like vermin and made sure he closed the door behind us in a very hostile manner. Our four-year-old instantly burst into tears as he couldn’t understand why the man had behaved in such an aggressive way nor why he was he wasn’t allowed the hot chocolate we had promised him. This is supposed to be a family-friendly establishment, -certainly not by our experience! Disgusting behaviour. We will not return again.

We all had a super evening. Great food, large portions but most of all fantastic staff. One of our staff had a family emergency and Alberto the Manager and his staff could not do enough for us. He even provided complimentary cappuccinos. Highly recommended.

Great menu selection. All the usuals but some unusual treats too. Well cooked and good ingredients. Friendly and efficient service. Prices weren't scary and the drinks were nice too. Can't fault it.

The food is so fresh and delicious! The portions are huge, especially the starters! The staff are lovely, location is so cute, with all the lovely houses around! Only downside is it can get very loud in the restaurant as the ceilings are low & very popular!

We called here for lunch whilst visiting family in the area. The welcome was very warm and drinks were ordered and quickly brought.

Good food, really friendly staff. I love this place for a family meal, night out with the wife or a quick takeaway.

Like its sister restaurant in Crowthorne I found this venue to be noisy - making it difficult to hear what your dining companions are saying. This is down to a combination of large dining parties, hard surfaces and half-recognisable tunes and songs coming from speakers that need to be turned down a few levels. But this was the case when I last visited this restaurant 10 years ago - so I presume some people actually enjoy dining in a noisy environment. Some of the food is good (the steak and chicken dishes my companions had were very favourably commented upon) and some very disappointing. Sadly I chose one of the disappointing options - a king prawn pizza. Honestly, I have had better frozen ones from a supermarket. It was tasteless - even the prawns which were supposed to be garlic-infused, lacked any flavour. There was disappointment too when the dessert menus appeared - these were laminated, with pictures of what was on offer and just like those in an Indian Restaurant. And there was no Tiramisu. What! No Tiramisu in an Italian Restaurant? What a let down. Overall the service was good and the staff helpful and friendly but some of the menu options and the ambience let the dining experience down.

Welcoming and consistently good menu New mediterranean oizza - excellent and well covered Mellanzana - delicious Love the Limoncello shots at the end of the meal!

Popped in on our way back from London on a late Sunday afternoon, quiet when we arrived but started to get busy by 5.30. Very welcoming staff and a great menu, i had a mushroom dish which was very tasty followed by sirloin steak with mixed veg and roast potatoes. Enjoyed the meal, my husband had calamari in a tomatoe sauce with chilli, also very good with and he had a calzone to follow which he said was wonderful. We had Pino Grigio wine with the meal but no dessert as totally stuffed. Authentic Italian food.

Visited restaurant with a Sicilian Friend, nice setting,interior bedecked with interesting pictures. We were offered tasters of red wine before picked one we liked. Garlic bread starter was plenty for two people, meat balls & spaghetti tasty and nicely cooked, sweets were ok. We were left to enjoy our meal.

Booked for early Friday evening dinner. The restaurant was quite quiet when we arrived, but quickly became very busy and very noisy. We were put on a very cramped table for 2, and there really was not enough room on the table meaning we were always having to rearrange stuff as drinks, bread, food arrived.

Great tasting food and generous portion sizes in a pretty village setting. We turned up without booking and were given a table outside. One slight criticism would be the length of time taken to take our order and deliver the food, other than that a really nice meal

Nice little restaurant that you can walk to with some nice Italian tasting food. Good Pizzas. A little pricey but I would recommend

Restaurant is tucked away in a beautiful village setting. Family friendly and great for a good pizza.

A firm favourite ..... fantastic food and atmosphere....we love it here! Portion sizes are big though. 🍕🍝🍷🍻

Me and my husband have been coming to Don Beni Winkfield for 16 years. Perfect food, excellent service. Staff always go the extra mile especially when you are as fussy as me. Our 3 year old daughter loves it and they make her feel like a princess.

My mum and I come to Don Beni’s twice a week because we love the food, service, atmosphere and the Prosecco!!!! The Manager and his staff are so attentive and very kind. There is such a huge choice of food and we’ve NEVER been disappointed. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Normally my father take us to Don Beni on a Sunday,last night though we decide to go there for a change and although the restaurant was unbelievably busy and the waiters where running like crazy,we had a fantastic dinner and recive a top class service(like always).

Went with friends last night. It has changed hands since I last went and obviously remains popular. The food was very good, but the waiters were not particularly friendly or engaging; in fact I don’t think any of them cracked a smile!

Lived in the area for a couple of years and heard a lot of positive reviews about this place. They certain werent wrong, wish I had visited this place sooner. The service was superb the food was delicious, portion sizes generous and all reasonably priced. I will certainly visit again.

There are few Italian restaurants oozing traditional family trafforia like Don Beni. We have been eating at this ‘little gen’ since my son was 11 and he is now 26!

all except the older of the waiters were not only offhand but unhelpful, asked questions about the menu and it was like pulling teeth, not overly expensive but very ordinary, quite bland in fact, sorry wont be going back

I have visited this restaurant several times with different groups of friends, all of whom love it and then in turn take their own guests, which is praise indeed. I have reviewed Don Beni previously but as they are consistently excellent, they deserve ongoing praise. The food is really good with ample portions and the service from Alberto and the staff is very special, We have tried many of the dishes, ranging from the very affordable, but authentic pizzas and pasta at lunch time, to the excellent seafood and steak specials. Well done Alberto, we will continue to visit and recommend you.

First time for lunch Good consistent portions excellent cooked. Good service attentive staff. Will be back.

Outside seating area was empty, so we decided to site outside and have a coffee and a nibble. Went to the bar, restaurant had 2 tables occupied, spoke to I would presume was the proprietor we asked for 4 coffees and cake or similar. All we were told is he couldn't

Reserved a table for 12 people for my sons 21st Birthday... The service was great and the food was outstanding...The place is family friendly too. I'm a regular to this restaurant and would have no hesitation in recommending... You may wish to book in advance for Friday / Saturday night as they do get busy !!

We haven’t visited this restaurant for a while but popped in when we couldn’t get a table elsewhere and really enjoyed it. It’s a lively place and got quite noisy towards the end which we really noticed when we left! We both had pizzas which were huge and had ample toppings. Much better value than the chains eg Zizzi, Pizza Express etc. We also shared a green salad which was also large and came with half an avocado Which I thought was great value for money. Will definitely be returning

I have visited this Italian restaurant on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food is excellent with an extensive menu all well presented. It is without doubt great value with excellent friendly service all delivered and managed efficiently. The restaurant Manager is particularly attentive and very professional in his demeanour and attitude. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant for good quality Italian food at excellent value.

The food is fantastic and the staff are happy to adapt any order and happy to let you take the leftover home The ambiance is traditional and authentic We eat here lots

Fantastic food and even better service! My 11 year old ordered a lobster dish and staff even helped him open it! My 7 year old loved the pizza. It caters for all tastes!

A big thank you to Enzo and the team for making our Saturday lunch so enjoyable! Great food! Great service!

Stop in Ona whim with two if my children. Service was exceptional, the staff really went out of her way to make me and my little ones feel welcome and well looked after. The menu had a great selection and the food was delicious.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Don Beni. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Always a great atmosphere. Look forward to returning.

Located in between Ascot, Windsor and Bracknell, Don Beni's, Winkfield Row, is perfectly situated to feel like a country restaurant but without the long drive. Friendly, attentive staff always happy to assist with menu choices. Something for everyone on the menu. Amazing steaks, authentic, classic Italian pasta's, including sea food, and a wonderful selection of pizza's. Great for large family parties or just for a romantic date night. Advisable to book as this is a popular restaurant, especially weekends ( speaks volumes in itself ).

Great food, great value, great staff. Fully recommend the house red. Portion size is big and the food is so tasty. This review comes with a 100% recommendation.

A family of nine, we went to Don Beni for lunch. The food was good but for my part the occasion was ruined by the service. Our waiter was cold, unsmiling and offered no kind of welcome. He was grumpy throughout the meal and I wished we had gone elsewhere.

My partner and I had revisited the restaurant a couple of months before and was pleasantly surprised. We were so disappointed a few times 3 years ago we didn’t bother going again. So, when it was suggested we take a friend for her surprise birthday meal to Don Beni’s I hoped it wouldn’t disappoint as I know she hadn’t been before. Well, they came up trumps, our meals were delicious with no complaints from any of us. The birthday girl thoroughly enjoyed her evening, with all it had to offer.

Went to Don Beni with a big family group. 15 of us in total, including 6 children. We all enjoyed it thoroughly. Has pasta, pizza and risotto. All were excellent. Service super kind. Will be going back often

I visited with a group of my friends during a weekday and it was not too busy. Service was excellent, staff very accommodating and friendly. Me and my friend are vegetarian and the penne arrabiata and mushroom risotto is to die for. We also had the garlic bread go start, which enough for 2 people. For dessert we had ice cream. Will definitely be returning! Photo is of my penne arrabiata and the spaghetti bolognese.

We found this place having googled Italian restaurants in the local area, we were looking for somewhere where we could...

Went to this restaurant recently and found it a bit of a mix. First impressions were quite good with a good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. The four of us were seated at what I thought was a too small a table in the middle area of the restaurant. On looking around it became clear to me that there were far too many tables which resulted in overcrowding so much so that I felt my space was impinged by the table and customers over my right shoulder (not their fault).

I was looking for a location to have a business lunch with my work colleagues and we choose Don beni. We were only 3 of us and we all had 2 courses meal which were absolutely delicious and huge portion as we didn't manage to finish them .

Went there with my family this week.

Our Table was booked for 7pm on a Wednesday for a birthday celebration, it was a table for 11. We eventually got our starter (garlic bread) around 7.40, Drinks were fast in coming although we only had one or two glasses as most of us were driving. At 8.45 we were getting edgy as no sign of main course, we called waiter and explained that it was becoming too late to eat and we needed our main course, he apologised stating there were only two chefs on and offered us another drink which we declined as most of us were driving. If they only have two chefs on they should not overbook, there was another table of approx. 8 people, us and around 3 small tables who did get served before us even though we arrived before them. Eventually we were served our main course at 9.05 more than two hours after arriving, which is unacceptable, The waiter/manager did reduce the bill after some discussion but put a damper on the evening. The main course when it did arrive was on the whole very greasy, but generous portions. We will not be going there again.

This restaurant has always been a favourite of my family. I hadn't been here for a while but had dinner here Monday evening and it was as great as ever. The servers were very friendly and the food was amazing. I love it here - thoroughly recommend!
