My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate my birthday and could not have been more pleased with our experience. We had the wagyu beef tartare as an appetizer and both immediately knew that this meal was going to be amazing. We both got a pasta dish and lost our minds after the first bite. Both of us commented multiple times that this was one of, if not the best, meal we’d ever eaten. Everything was cooked to perfection and I was a huge fan of the realistic portion sizes. We were both able to clear our plates without feeling completely stuffed and uncomfortable. Some of the Christmas decorations were stuff displayed which I loved and the retro decor made it such a fun and cozy experience. We are already planning when we can come back!

This restaurant is amazing!!! The hugo spritz’s were exceptional and so were the martinis. We ordered the arancini to start, and let’s just say that the gorgonzola was so soft and gooey that we asked for a second plate. We also ordered the spicy sopressata pizza which was delicious and light. The Spatchcock chicken was so tender and succulent that we wanted more!!! To finish, we ordered the salted caramel chocolate tarte, which knocked our socks off. Everything was incredible!!

We loved this meal. The ingredients are so fresh and amazing. Pizza crust was beyond incredible... Absolutely perfect. The Margherita D.O.P. was my favorite. My husband had tagliatelle and liked it very much. The other 3 in our party had pizzas. We also had arancini and burrata. Everyone agreed the arancini was unlike ever we've ever had and enjoyed it very much. Burrata was served with freshly made bread (similar to a baby pizza) topped with marinated olives. Recommend reservations as the seating area is small. We didn't have one but they kindly found us a table. Would love to return. I'll be craving that pizza.

Benzina is the first place I thought of when I landed in Denver. The food is ridiculously good—simple fresh ingredients and skilled authentic Italian cooking. The flavors always impress me and the quality of pasta and pizza is excellent. The staff is also lovely. All around a go to spot.
