Va Bene

"We tried this place for Happy Hour one night and we sat in the Lounge area. Our server got our drink order and our food order. During Happy Hour all appetizers are half off except shrimp. We ordered the Cozze “Va Bene” and Minestrone alla Genovese con Pesto. Both were very delicious. For dessert we shared a tiramisu cake that was like homemade, so unbelievably good. The restaurant was clean as were the restrooms. We only got to try the appetizers but will return to try more of the menu."

"Went here based on the number and level of reviews but sadly was disappointed. First off no space was available in the dining room so I was instructed to sit in the lounge area and had to sit in the corner next to the patio door that let in freezing cold air every time that it was opened, which was frequently. The food was just ok, the prosciutto with the melon was a little passed its date and tasted off. The caprese salad was ok, but the ratio of mozzarella to tomatos was off, as there was not enough mozzarella to go around. For my entree I ordered the chicken piccata with pasta instead of potatoes, but the sauce was overly salty and the dish was coolish. I was also never offered bread service, which is very atypical of an Italian restaurant. The live music started at 08:30 PM a bit early and was extremely loud making is difficult to hear people and to enjoy my entree. I left quickly after it started as I prefer to dine in a restaurant and not a concert venue. The waitress was nice and checked in with each course, but based on my experience I do not recommend."

"I think it’s a bit overpriced, the food was good but nothing memorable. My SO had. Marsala and I had vodka pasta. Bread was definitely not great. The bathroom need improvement. Service was good."

"This is a real neighborhood gem that even our pickiest eater can enjoy. In my opinion, the daily lunch specials are the best around in terms of quality and value. The italian food is really good, no matter what you order. The staff is seasoned, been here a long time, and their recommendations are solid. The managers and owners are always helping out and are very friendly. Dinners are excellent and if you stay late they always have great live music. Good bands too. The place is great, treat them well if you stop in. We love em."
