"It’s a tiny restaurant with neat yet simple interior design, with all the glass panels so the whole restaurant is bright and atmosphere is pleasant. Each dish has a mixed taste, bringing you different layers of surprise, and the dishes are all arranged harmoniously . Highly recommended for small gathering and business meetup . Waiters are well trained and friendly . Washroom is super clean and well equipped with hand towels ."

"Nice, modern, clean designed restaurant on a piazza. Friendly and attentive service, nice selection of vines. Food was expertly made and presented, I especially loved the marinated raw amberjack, however I did not expect a restaurant not offering a vegetarian main course in the year 2024.
Prices are matching the quality."

Mangiare a Forlì e dintorni: i migliori ristoranti della zona
Piazza Cavour è un buon punto di riferimento per una sosta golosa, ricca di locali e tavolini, e da Benso si sta molto bene. Nel giardino Orselli e dietro l’attenta mano di Pier Giorgio Parini si possono gustare piatti dall’alto guizzo creativo, sia nella scelta delle materie prime che nella presentazione, che non dimenticano la tradizione. La piadina diventa un tacos con porchetta, maionese di carota e scalogno, mentre la saba (il mosto cotto di tradizione antichissima che veniva usato per bagnare dolci) accompagna un uovo poché con spinaci e guanciale.

Appaiati a 82 ci sono invece gli stellati Il Povero Diavolo e La Buca, ma in compagnia di “new entry” come Benso (Forlì) e Osteria dei Frati (Roncofreddo). Dietro, a 81, ecco invece gli stellati Guido e Abocar Due Cucine, insieme a un altro riminese in forte ascesa, il già citato Lucio. Scendendo a 80 (punteggio più basso delle 2 Forchette), si trovano Teverini di Bagno di Romagna e il Marè di Cesenatico.
