Cozy Italian Restaurant In WeHo
Benvenuto is a dependable and enjoyable Italian restaurant in the middle of West Hollywood. The food portions are generous and the prices are good.

We ended up staying the entire evening...

The food was delicious Italian and the service was truly on par with the best I've ever had in LA. ...
