Our
waiter arrived to take our
order. He seemed new, but
was friendly and tried hard to
take great care of us despite
having to do double duty by also
serving the outside diners. The menu
selections were simple, easy to
understand and clearly laid out.
Grilled Sausage and Broccoli
Rabe for 14.95 with a house
salad was most appealing to me
and the thought of this old-school Jersey dish had
my mouth watering. Hmmmm, I was
asking a lot of this place to
make me something like this,
because let's face it, if you are
from North Jersey you know this
dish and know how it should be
made and taste.
Time
to start on my included house
salad which was freshly made,
perfectly dressed and in a word
delicious. I had another
reason for wanting the
sausage... I wanted to see
if this place was real Italian
food, and if this dish could be
created properly, there would be
no question. My sausage
arrived butterflied, perfectly
grilled and on a bed of freshly
cooked Broccoli Rabe with a
wedge of lemon. The
presentation exceeded my
expectations and the taste was
first- rate because it was cooked
perfectly with good Italian
sausage.
My
guest enjoyed the big fresh
portions in the dinner salad and
remarked about the taste and
quality.
Okay, if the waiter wasn't stretched
to the four corners of the
restaurant, our dinner time
could have been shortened a
bit and more butter with the
bread would have been nice, but
overall Bensi was a good
experience
The
owners of Bensi are passionate
about the quality of their food

life and they all go way out of
their way to be appreciative of
