Bensi - Denville

Waiter was friendly. if you don't order whole meal at same time, looooong wait after appetizers chef is a cook; flavorless red sauce, gorgonzola is fake or something. pretty disappointed

Served raw chicken!! My wife, 2 year old daughter and I went here to dinner tonight. We sat and ordered our food. A the waiter came to our table after se waited for 10 minutes to take our drink order. Shortly after the owner or manager walked over and took our food order which was strange. My wife and daughter ordered pasta and I went with the stuffed chicken pomadoro. The meal both adult meals came with a salad or soup. It took over 50! I repeat 50 minutes to get a soup and salad. Another 25 minutes later our dinner came. The stuff chicken came in two separate rolls. I ate the first one and thought the chicken was rubbery. I cut open the second piece and the chicken was not cooked at all! I immediately notified the manager and he said “ohh, it’s cooked just a little under” I pointed to the chicken again and said that it’s raw uncook chicken! It looked like the just put Sauce on a chicken breast and tried to serve it too me. The cheese in the middle wasnt melted or cold….He then said “ohh that must have happened because it was rolled up.” He offered to get me something else and I politely said no thank you. Our waiter then came over and asked if everything was to our liking and I told him what had happened. He politely apologized and returned with our bill and the chicken I ordered was removed. My wife then took the bill and told the staff were not paying and that I most likely was going to have food poisoning. The manager shrugged his shoulders like “ohh well” and said call me if he gets sick.

Overall a good place to eat and not overpay. Food quality and preparation are good. Fresh salads properly prewashed and well served. Pasta dishes served hot and fairly true to Italian cuisine expectations. Poor music choice ditated by bar patrons; heavy metal not so cool with nice dining room decor and ambiance. Servers are great but stretched thin working large volume of takeouts.

First time here and food was amazing! Pasta and sauce was delicious and hot. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Some of the best food around. I've been recommending it for a while. Terrific!!!
