Fabulous everything - food, service and drinks! My only issue that I ever have from this FABULOUS place to dine is that the noise level is more energetic than I like. I wish that Bella Siena would invest in some baffling of some kind to dissipate some of the noise. Nevertheless, as always, I will return. The restaurant is WONDERFUL and is a gem of Benicia!

Locanda Poitano Keeps raising prices for the same dishes. My favorite dish has gone from 17.95 to 26.95 in past months. 2023-2024. Where does it end? When doses this restaurant start to give value to its customers? Sitting outside in the rain recently was not a GREAT experience. Water was not being controlled around the edges of the entries into the restaurant.
