The application said the restaurant is opening to add 8-10 seats out in front of the restaurant.

There’s currently limited seating (15 seats) inside the restaurant; where the kitchen fills most of the building.

The application also noted that the Benny Diforza’s could be selling beer and wine soon, pending an ABC permit.
