A great recommendation from our hotel with fabulous home cooking and a welcoming feel to it. We started with antipasti - prosciutto with mozzarella; the mozzarella was melt in your mouth fresh and the best I've had. The house specialty pasta was excellent - fresh pasta with tomato, basil and perfectly cooked. And because we thought we had to we tried dessert - the Coffee Creme Brulee was a fantastic dessert as was the nougat ice cream with home made chocolate sauce. Really enjoyable, home cooked Italian served in a friendly atmosphere at a great price. What more could you ask for!

Buon pub ma manca sempre qualcosa per il top. Panini buoni ma piccolini, fritture a volte buone e asciutte altre volte meno (magari dipende da chi fa il turno in cucina, non saprei), tramezzini che a volte difettano in quanto a farcitura. Buona scelta di birre ma la cucina non convince completamente.. peccato! Il servizio invece è sempre perfetto e gentile.

This restaurant is well hidden in a side alley of the main street of Benevento (Corso Garibaldi): only those who know that it exists could find it (but we knew....). It was a pleasant surprise, in many senses.
First, of course, the food. The menu features dishes prepared almost exclusively with local produce, and cooked with skill and original (but not extravagant) recipes. That at least is what we could experience with delicious dishes that we ordered: spaghetti "Vucciria" (tomato and a blend of spices), "Troccoli" (spaghetti with square section) shepherd style, ie with sausage and ricotta cheese; pie of wild vegetables; pork with almonds and chestnut honey. All accompanied by a glass of local wine "Aglianico". Very fair price in relation to quality: 48 € for two people. Every recipe has been kindly illustrated by Debora, who manages the property with Marco; and who appeared to us - through her fascinating conversation - to be very committed to enhancing (not only with food) the culture of her city and of the territory.
In short, it was an experience truly out of the ordinary: I recommend it without any doubt.
4. Ristorante Pizzeria Enoteca Gino e Pina
Overall Ratings
4 based on 404 reviews
Gino and Pina, a great traditional restaurant (quoted on all the most important guides in the industry) is one of the oldest and most famous of the city of BeneventoThe venue is easily accessible, is located in the heart of the city of Benevento, where Gino Palmieri and Pina are ready to stimulate your curiosity with an extensive menu of land and sea. Our dishes will capture the freshness and quality of used products, which are purchased daily at the nearby market where you can still find farmers who sell genuine products of their farms, which are then prepared with our extra virgin olive oil produced in the small farm located in Pietrelcina. The culinary elaborations start at some points of Benevento traditional real kitchen, with a careful implementation of the oldest Sunni and regional recipes. Particular emphasis on fish dishes (which arrives daily from the Adriatic Sea), will satisfy the most demanding customers.

This is a more “haute” restaurant than you would expect to find in Benevento, but it more than justifies its reputation and its prices and has not a trace of pretentiousness. The room is beautiful and the service is perfectly professional and attentive.
A tiny amuse-bouche consisted of ceci “drunk” with rice crispies, a totally inadequate description. One of our primi was a plate of lonza grassa di suino chiaro del Sannio, a local specialty. The thin slices of lean pork loin with fat around the edges were beautiful to look at as well as to eat. The other primo, a vellutata of finocchio with baccala and toasted almonds, seemed a bit fussy from the description, but turned out to be a masterly creation.
Both of our secondi were surprising and exceptionally good. My dish of spaghettoni with ragu looked exactly like the traditional pasta with ragu from anywhere in Italy, but this had octopus instead of ground meat. It was magnificent. The pork fillets with gorgonzola sauce were also a gem, and no, the gorgonzola did not overwhelm the pork.
Our wine was a local aglianico from the Ocone winery, “Pezza la Corte” 2003. At the end of the meal we were offered an amaro, also a local product, which reminded us of the Padre Peppe we had in Basilicata last year.

Risto-pub birreria
Reviewed By Geronimo F
I was there last Saturday and I really appreciated the atmosphere, the food and the beer! I could suggest the greek pita (it's a good Italian adaptation of the original one), and also the apetizers are very good!
I recomend to make a reservation before visiting, otherwise you could have to wait a bit before getting in!
Very good!

Dopo un fantastico antipasto a base di verza e mortadella alla brace, siamo giunti al piatto forte della casa, la carne arrosto. Brasato di maiale nero spettacolare, uno dei più buoni mai mangiati, tenero, saporito, ben cotto. Anche i dolci molto buoni, assaggiato il Raffaello a base di cocco ed il classico tiramisù. Aglianico della casa scende che è una bellezza. Da tornarci per provare altri tipi di carne visto che la scelta è notevole. Ottimo intrattenimento in sala da parte del titolare, bravo.

Locale davvero molto ben fatto, con possibilità anche di tavoli all'aperto in un delizioso vicolo. Personale estremamente cortese, possibilità di prenotazione telefonica. Varietà di carne eccezionale con panini o al piatto. Buona anche la varietà di birra con tempi di servizio veloci. Prezzi assolutamente accessibili. Un giudizio estremamente positivo.

Pizzeria decennale in quel di Benevento, ottime recensioni ed una capatina non poteva mancare. L’ambiente non mi è piaciuto molto e questo è un peccato in quanto la comunicazione dal menù alla cura d’immagine è davvero buona e decisamente professionale, di solito capita il contrario, in pratica ho trovato gli arredi piuttosto privi di carattere e gusto, un’altra cosa che ho trovato strana è che ci sono molti elementi affini ad una nota pizzeria nei dintorni, questo magari non è neanche un male, in alcuni casi la concorrenza sveglia dal letargo e magari riaccende anche la passione per il proprio lavoro e la competitività alzando il livello della qualità tra i diversi esercenti...un’altra cosa che non avrei fatto è inserire del Kebab sul menù, è un elemento capace di far perdere punti al migliore dei locali con la sola presenza, non che non ami il Kebab ma spesso viene associato ad ambienti low cost e più popolari, viene valorizzato solo da locali tipici del proprio paese d’origine...ma veniamo alla pizza, la vera regina, per molti versi strizza l’occhio alle vere Napoletane, è indubbiamente molto digeribile nonostante l’impasto sia eccessivamente gommoso, ingredienti di qualità molto alta, ottima la mozzarella e un pò meno il pomodoro, sarebbe opportuno aggiungere il filo di olio extravergine a fine cottura e possibilmente molto fruttato (un ravece sarebbe ideale) in modo che al contatto con il calore esali tutto il suo magico profumo senza spegnerlo, altra cosa errata è stendere l’olio sul cornicione, questo non va assolutamente bene, il cornicione deve rimanere asciutto. Ottima la selezione di birre (la rossa alla spina è davvero buonissima) e eccellente la scelta dei dessert, prezzi anche troppo bassi per la qualità offerta, un’ultimo appunto vorrei farlo al servizio, ho trovato poca cortesia, non un sorriso, non un consiglio, tutto molto freddo e distaccato, persino la signorina che ci ha fatto il conto era completamente distante ed indifferente, a volte anche solo chiedere “tutto bene?” serve a coinvolgere la clientela e rafforzarne il rapporto.
Mi scuso se sono stato così critico ma di solito lo faccio solo con chi davvero mette impegno per quello che fa, quando un ristorante non vale niente non ci spendo nemmeno due parole.
Tornerò comunque spesso, sono rimasto piuttosto soddisfatto.
