Benvenuti was opened by Vito and Maria Angrisani in 1980. It is one of the oldest, genuine Italian restaurants in Manchester, run by a true Italian family. Traditional Italian recipes are still used. Benvenuti is on its third generation of family workers and is serving its fourth generation of customers. As one customer said: 'It's like being in Sorrento; where you can find a little Benvenuti on every corner.' 'We enjoy going here as we feel we are still on our holidays. Friendly and fast but relaxed.'
