Benito's Italian Restaurant

I recently dined at the new Italian restaurant in Bullard and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. One of the highlights for me was the complimentary bread they serve as a starter. The parmesan garlic bread was absolutely delicious! My fiancé always opts for the Veal Parmesan with fettuccine on the side, and it never disappoints. As for me, I can't get enough of their Veal Marsala; the flavors are simply divine. Overall, a delightful dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

THERES SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM!!! You will definitely find several things to love!!! Now, this is bittersweet- I love mushrooms but I do NOT like 🦀! And I got the stuff mushroom 🍄 and it was all over the plate. So I think crab lovers would enjoy it far better than me! The sauce and the mushrooms were fabulous though! The sauce has an extraordinary taste and flavor, sure to make your taste buds sing so it’s 5✨⭐ all on its own.
NOW, for my chicken pasta 🍝 dish… it was a new experience for me! I will order eggplant, Parmesan, or eggplant Primavera 99% of the time, however, this time there was such a wide variety to choose from on the menu I decided to step off of my traditional road most traveled! Lol😁 and I tried something completely different 👀!
Let me say that the pasta was neither overcooked nor undercooked, it was absolutely perfect! I am a huge fan of mushrooms and capers, and this particular dish had a little kick in spice with some red and green bell peppers and onion, and was very unique! Most of the time, I am very disappointed whenever I order something new, and I’ve never had it before. HOWEVER, this was not the case. I am committed to trying a new dish every time I come to visit. The vegetables were well cooked and the chicken was tender to the cut with my fork.

I am a huge fan of Italian and Mediterranean foods, and I must admit this has been the best Italian restaurant in East Texas thus far. And has been bumped up to my number three all-time favorite Italian restaurant. In order to take my number one favorite spot. I have to try the eggplant Primavera/Parmesan, or whatever the eggplant 🍆 dish is.😅

There was a line, but it is definitely worth the wait. The sweet tea is sweet like family reunion sweet tea so I may just have to get water next time lol

And the olive oil with the herbs in it is incredible and the bread you will definitely have to fight over with your friends and family if they only bring you one piece, it literally melts in your mouth!

I am very happy and pleased with this quaint spot off Hwy 69 and if I was hungry in Lufkin or Dallas, I’d wait to eat at Benito’s in Bullard!!!

A buddy and I took the opportunity to have dinner here. The customer service was amazing, the owner came and talked to us for a little bit and she was amazing too. My buddy ordered the bacon chicken pizza, for a medium it was massive! I ordered the lamb chops of steamed veggies and they did not disappoint! Definitely a restaurant I will be going back too!

Ordered a ribeye steak "rare". The restaurant staff was friendly and environment was very pleasing. We were quickly greeted with sides and with refreshing drinks. The food was absolutely amazing! Truly a wonderful restaurant to eat at!! Definitely looking forward to trying more from the menu.

What a charming addition to Bullard. Such a cute place! We enjoyed everything we tried and will definitely be coming back! The menu is extensive, food is fresh and delicious, and service is top notch.

Very quaint and small restaurant with white tablecloths adding a bit of elegance. Food and service are excellent! Many dishes on their menu, have tried 4 different ones and all were delicious! Haven’t had their pizzas yet but hear they are awesome. Give them a try!

Great experience. First visit. We had the trio dish and the meatball dish. Both were wonderful. We added a small side salad that was quite large and very tasty. The bread and dipping oil was absolutely fantastic. The linen tablecloths add to the atmosphere and the service was top notch. We will come again!

Leaving a review after eating here once - The owner was so sweet and took care of us. The staff is also amazing and tentative. The food is amazing, I’ve never tasted any Italian food as good as this place and their portion sizes are big for the price! This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Next time I’m back in Bullard, I’ll be coming here for lunch/dinner!

Wonderful, authentic Italian food. Been there twice in less than a week. So good, will be back again...soon!

Heard great things about this new restaurant, so we got to try it. If you like Italian food,you’ll enjoy this place. The rolls are amazing, and Lots of varieties of dishes. The portions are huge, so expect a to go container. Next visit gotta try the pizza

Benito’s is a taste of Italy in East Texas. The passion and attention to detail is evident in every dish. The chef strives for perfection and experience from every dish sent from his kitchen. The sauces are made with love. Hours of time is poured into the sauces. The bread is light, airy, and irresistible accompanied by the dipping oil further accentuates the taste. The pizzas are truly New York style. Big slices, fresh ingredients, dough cooked to perfection, fold it half and savor the moment. The front of house it run with joy and passion for a phenomenal experience. You can truly tell every staff member enjoys being a part of the experience. We look forward to going here often and can’t wait to try another dish and see this restaurant succeed. And try the tres leche…you’ll thank me later

Wonderful food and service. Pork chops were amazing and so was the lasagna. Highly recommend. The owners are wonderful and make sure to talk to everyone dining in.

Great atmosphere

What a wonderful experience! A warm, welcoming atmosphere in a casual setting. BYOB. Great service staff. Our party of 10 had a variety of dishes that were shared by all. Love love love this new restaurant!

The pasta trio was awesome. The sauce homemade sauce is better than any Italian restaurant around. Service was great, even for a very busy Friday right.
Can't with to go back.

Holly& Allmir are just amazing. They handled a catering job for me this past week. The food was so delicious and the service was perfect. Please reach out to them for your catering needs as they will not disappoint!

The food is delicious. I got the Penne Vodka with meat balls( it cost two dollars extra if you'd like to get them.) The portions are great, their Ceasar salad is good as well,the staff and owners are very kind and very accommodating! And lastly, the restaurant is clean.

Had the White Pizza along with the Supreme. Delicious! Bacon could have been cooked a little longer on the Supreme but both were great. Can’t wait to try more dishes.

A friend had told me about this restaurant. I took my daughters and we had each a different dish. I had spaghetti and meatballs. One of my daughters had the vodka sauce and penet and the other daughter had stromboli. They were all amazing in this restaurant is super clean. The staff is very friendly
