Bennies Italian Foods - Marion

Wow, I came from Adam's shoes. The smell of Italian food was so good. Not from the area. But I had to go in. Everyone was very pleasant. Just the sandwich. It was so good. Very recommended for lunch.

First time we went, had Cat she was so helpful guiding us on the menu. The cheese bread is great, got the fettuccine and came with garlic bread. Very delicious!!

Week number 5: In Search of The Big Muddy Monster Our adventure today has taken us to Bennie's Italian Restaurant. We heard a rumor that the beast was smitten by the smell of the food here. As we approached we saw a glimpse into what I thought was the beast but I did not have my camera at the ready so no pictures. I have now learned my lesson and will have my camera at ready if I catch a glimpse at this magnificent and rare creature. So we ventured inside of the restaurant to see what tempted the beast. As soon as you enter the doors, the smell of their secret food hits you. I ordered the Cheesey Bread at first.. It tasted excellent and the wait was not too long. The second entree' came out at just the right time. We had ordered Baked Mostaccioli and it was topped full of cheese and tasted wonderful as well. The waitress was very kind and right on her game. The booths were set apart to give more room (not so stuffy). Weĺl, I now see why the beast made an appearence. All in all this is a good family restaurant or a great place for date night.

I had lasagna with red sauce and alfredo sauce. A friend odered that a few years back and I tried it and have always ordered it since. Most of all this awesome resteraunt is known for their salad with Bennie's authentic garlic house dressing and it stays with you for a couple days but worth it.

Bennie's Italian Food in Marion, Illinois, is a true local gem. The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is absolutely delicious, and the wine selection is great. The restaurant is spacious and offers a lovely view from the upper floor. I ordered the salmon, my daughter had a baked potato, and my partner enjoyed the Cannelloni Princess. Everything was fantastic! Our server even kindly provided my daughter with four quarters to use for a toy from the change machine, after asking for our permission first. It was a thoughtful gesture, and we made sure to tip her well. Definitely a 5-star experience all around!
