Don Beni Italian Restaurants

Don Beni is a small restaurant group whose British story dates to 1993, when its first restaurant under that name opened in Englefield Green, Surrey. The brand traces its culinary roots to its founders’ Italian and Argentine family backgrounds; today it operates three restaurants in Berkshire, in Crowthorne, Eton, and Winkfield. The expansion was gradual: the Crowthorne location opened in 1996, Winkfield in 1997, and Eton in 1998. That history gives Don Beni the feel of a neighborhood restaurant that has grown without moving the family table away from the center of the experience.

The menu is broad and Italian-inspired, with generous pizzas—from Margherita to seafood versions—pasta with a range of sauces, fresh fish of the day, and meat dishes. Among its specialties, the website highlights pollo da Beni, made with tomato, garlic, cream, parsley, basil, and ham, and mushrooms topped with garlic béchamel and cheese. The kitchen is set up for either a full meal or a casual dinner; specific options may vary by location, so check the current menu before ordering.

Drinks are a notable part of the offering, too: the published list includes around 40 wines, with selections from Piedmont, Tuscany, and Sicily, as well as bottles from Spain, France, Argentina, and New Zealand. There are beers and classic cocktails, including alcohol-free versions of some drinks. Don Beni advertises collection and delivery, making the group an option for diners who would rather eat at home as well as parties booking a celebration. Some locations host tribute nights, including events dedicated to Michael Bublé or Frank Sinatra; check with the restaurant for the current schedule.

The three locations make it possible to pair a meal with different surroundings: Eton is near the historic college and Windsor, while Crowthorne and Winkfield serve residential communities west of London. The official website provides separate pages and booking links for each restaurant, which is the best way to confirm availability, menu, collection, or an event. This listing uses Crowthorne as its reference location; the other two dining rooms are in Eton and Winkfield Row, with their own phone numbers in the practical details.
