8. Luigi's Deli

The Greek salad is one of the house specialties. Make certain to order one to go along with your pizza (great!) or your Greek chicken. The menu also contains numerous Italian dishes and all are very good. Spaghetti and meatballs are especially tasty. Good service and atmosphere.

Excellent, friendly service. Large portions. Delicious food with a surprise at the end. Not very fancy; but the money went into the food. Large breadsticks with butter.

Very friendly service, mediocre pizza, zero ambiance, a sorry beer selection, and no fountain drinks.We were across the freeway at Benicia State Park and pizza sounded like the perfect pick-me-up between a hike and a kayak. Nice folks when we walked in, and some locals were clearly repeat visitors, so Napoli must do something right.But, no fountain drink for the Missus, and my selection of local beer was from nearby Fairfield's Budweiser line - Bud and Bud light! Water will be fine, thanks.Our chicken and pesto Natali pizza came as quickly as we could expect, piping hot! Sadly, bland. We got some marinara hoping to jazz it up. Nope; that was also bland.And, finally, the location and interior are as mundane and utilitarian as it gets. Fast food and diners are typically more inspiring.

We used to eat here frequently many, many years ago. Then, for awhile, it became a Spanish restaurant. After it reopened as an Italian restaurant, we kind of forgot about it since it's in a kind of out of the way location. We remembered the restaurant as being kind of dark (not a bad thing) and were surprised when we ate here in November at how much brighter it was. We liked the new look. We were also pleased with our food choices. We both had minestrone soup. My boyfriend had spaghetti and meatballs and I had the conchiglie al pollo. Service was good & we will eat here again.It would be nice if the restaurant would update their website, which appears to only have the menu for their Hayward restaurant. The menu appears to be similar but that menu includes pizza which I was disappointed to find was not on the Benicia menu when we dined there.

Whether "take out" or " sitting" : this local Italian Restaurant is a wonderful place for Pizza and Italian food. The salad bar is outstanding: fresh and varied. The interior imitates the Pirate influence....even a playroom for the kids. Once you have been a patron...you are on their mailing list for coupons.......

We visit here usually twice a month, so I guess we can be called regulars. Most of the fish dishes are good, but my favorite is the Cheese Ravioli's. Great sauce with this meal. Very good service as well. We will return again and again. By the way, the chef is the owner.

This place has a large menu, something for everyone. I would recommend a reservation - on a nice evening maybe ask about sitting outside.

This restaurant offers stunning views, exceptional wait staff and the best food in BenicIa. Outside dining is an additional feature that makes this an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. The Napa Cabbage salad is the best I have ever tasted. They have an exceptional 3 course lunch menu that serves the perfect portion sizes with a variety of choices. Whether you are planning a evening out with a large group or an intimate dinner for two this is the best of BenicIa.
