What Angie likes about Bencotto Italian Kitchen:
First time dining here while visiting San Diego for NYE weekend. The spaghetti with pepper sauce and the penne with meatballs and arrabbiata sauce were both 5 star dishes. The Pane bread was just an average plain white loaf with olive oil and balsamic. Service was pretty good but a little after 5 it got busy and our server never came back to check on us after leaving the dessert menu with us to view, so after another... View all feedback. What LisaS doesn't like about Bencotto Italian Kitchen:
The food at this venue was very good. The service was adequate. The biggest problem was the noise. Was very crowded and very noisy. Very difficult to hear guests at the table. View all feedback.

Best Italian restaurant in San Diego pasta is freshly made as are all of the sauces. The cheese wheel pasta is worth a visit just for that!
