We were in town for a softball tournament and found this lovely gem. We had Alfredo fettuccini, mostaccoli with the house sauce, cordon blue chicken and it was all so good I didn’t even remember to take pics of the food. Definitely a must try and we will be back. Also our server was very sweet.

My wife and I stopped in before a nearby concert. We both had a great meal with attentive service despite it being super-busy.
My wife is from the area so she’d been many times before and I’d been a few times myself. Our food and service was definitely on par with what we’d come to expect.
Give this place a shot! It’s pretty delicious.

Horrible customer service!! My daughter and I dined in here 7/28/25. We ordered a side salad, appetizer order of cheese breaks and a pasta to split. Our side salad comes out with pasta. No bread? We were told it takes a few extra minutes. No biggie. After waiting 25 minutes, it arrives after our pasta is cold. The waitress tells us she can take it off for our trouble. She says she will bring us a to go box for it. The manager walks out and says since we “decided to take it” we have to pay for it. Thank you for ruining my dinner and the environment here at Bennie’s. Managers name is Jennifer for future reference!! I do not recommend. We also came in while it was slow so being busy wasn’t an excuse. It also took 25 minutes for a check and to go box. Pathetic!

Even though I grew up in Marion, I had somehow never eaten at Bennie’s. Everyone in town talks about how good it is. Well, my 10 year old granddaughter wanted to go, so I FINALLY went. I was pretty excited to go! But unfortunately, I was very underwhelmed!! My granddaughter had Fettuccine Alfredo, which she LOVES! She loves it from everywhere. But she wasn’t very crazy about theirs. I had mastcholi, and it was okay, but definitely not “great”! The flavors were not blended. It tasted like it had literally JUST been thrown together!

My review is gone down a notch or 2.Because has it really gotten so bad?In marion , that we can’t call in an order and be trusted to pay when we pick it up that we have to pay with our debit card at the time that we order the food? If it has , then I will no longer order to go from benny’s.

My first time eating at Bennie’s Italian Restaurant in Marion…but will not be the last! From the moment we walked in, it was a great experience. Our waitress, named Emma, was a professional. She was nice, positive, and extremely helpful. She listened to our interests and helped us to the perfect selection. I had the Spicy Sausage Alfredo. It was loaded with flavor and had the perfect blend of flavor. The chili mac, cheese tortellini, and bread & oil was also incredible. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Wonderful, clean and nicely decorated restaurant with a variety of entree choices. We were seated immediately and had our drinks quickly. Our server was very pleasant and friendly. The bread and olive oil Italian bread dip was perfect! Great flavor and the bread was fresh and soft. I had the baked manicotti and it was delicious. If you like cheese, you’ll love this dish. My guest had the Rigatoni and said the bolognese sauce was fantastic. If you’re in the mood for good pasta, come here instead of those commercial Italian places. You will not regret it.

My first time at this restaurant I was there for a meeting around lunchtime. Our waitress was amazing very knowledgeable friendly and attentive.
No one had to ask for anything napkins, more drink it was there when you turned around! It was about 13 of us and the waitress killed it! Our food was amazing well prepared.
Prices were fair I enjoyed their house garlic salad dressing and their Italian beef sandwich and french fries under $20.

Pros- Good friendly staff. Good service.
Refills on drinks. Large portions. Good breaded mushrooms. Good garlic bread.
Cons- Sauce needs more Garlic and flavor. Not enough meat in sauce. Kinda bland for my taste. Lacking flavorful dishes. High dollar $$
