If you happen to be in Kensington have been wanting to savor authentic Italian pizza for a while, all you need to do is to head to Benchmark on Oak View Avenue; the courteous staff will ensure that you have your fill of wood-fired delicacies. The eatery's interiors have a rustic charm to it thanks to the reclaimed wooden textures, tiled floors, and simple seating arrangements. Order the Salami & Calabrian Chili, Sausage & Escarole, or the Pancetta & Marash, if you wish to sample their best offerings. Their homemade pasta, especially the Benchmark Meatballs, are definitely worth a try.
