Lunch on the patio, very much enjoyed the beet salad and then the chicken Parmesan sandwich with lobster bisque soup. The flavors and food quality were outstanding.

This place is amazing! Got the salad with acorn squash and it was delicious. NOT just a pile of lettuce with a few additions.

We went there for lunch and the service and food were superb. Highly recommend. They have a nice patio--I wish it was warmer so we could have eaten outside.

Amber was so knowledgeable guiding us through our food selections. She knew the food and drink menu educating us in with what to expect if we ordered something. She was very helpful because everything we ordered was amazing. The food was so good that I couldn’t stop eating. My 6 year old son said he was full, but he kept eating his pasta, too. I ordered the bolognese but subbed the rigatoni for fettuccine, and it was divine. The pasta is homemade which is what makes the meal so good. The management tweaked the menu a few months ago and started making the pasta in house. The pasta was so delicate and tasty. One can taste the difference when the pasta is homemade. Another standout is the marinara sauce which is creamy and balanced. The sauce was not acidic or overly sweet or spicy. It was delicious. I could have eaten it by itself. We will be back. Thank you, Amber, for your excellent suggestions and professionalism.

The restaurant offers amazing outdoor seating options. The wine list is impeccable. The service is always professional and kind. I grew up in an Italian household and grandparents owns a pizzeria in Italy. I would say the food is good, but some of pastas they prepare is not what I grew up, but I think most everybody really enjoy it. The pizza is ok. The meatballs are delicious. So many food options to choose from.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entry.

This is not fine dining. You do not need servers with fine dining experience and extreme charisma. I'm pretty sure the expectations do not match the pay.

All was well for the most part. Got broccoli, not brocolini, but whatever. Food was tasty and cocktails were just ok. Patrick was kind. Pricy lunch. Nice outdoor area. We'll try again another time.

We love eating at Va Bene! It's a great neighborhood meeting place to share with friends!Staff always accommodating! Like their new menu, but bring back the olive oil pasta with crunchy bacon and roasted garlic with shrimp or chicken add- on!

The food is excellent - we've visited a number of times and like the meatballs, lasagne, all the salads, the sandwich with the red pepper pesto, etc. The desserts are also really great. The team is so friendly - we come often for lunch with my elderly Dad and they are wonderful to us.
