Best pasta dish I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. Fresh, homemade, spicy and sweet. I had the gorgonzola al peperoncino.The atmosphere, although tables were close together, the solarium was so great and right on the water. My service was amazing too.

The food was absolutely amazing. The serving size was a little small. But the taste made up for it. I would definitely recommend this place!

First off, this place can be hard to get a reservation. But... there is a reason for it. The food is delicious, fresh and well prepared. We went on my bday and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Food was very good and views of the lake are incredible. The service was very slow for a late lunch. It was as though every server only helped their own tables. Dishes on another, water empty, etc they walk right past. The bad part was the floor although a nice epoxy, the corners/base, thresholds and door back are disgusting, it definitely been years since anyone deep cleaned this place.

Delightful food, very well done and executed. Great local and artisan choices all over the menu from the drinks to the desserts. Pastas, risottos, meats and salads were all great. Specifically and maybe not a usual thing to rave about here, was the nicoise salad with salmon. One of the best I've ever had!And that gelato...yum!

The food and service was really good, but the atmosphere was disappointing. I would go here again for a casual meal, but it’s not a special occasion destination. It was super loud (people, kitchen/service area, music), and very hazy from the kitchen being open in the middle of the restaurant.

Food was really yummy and the view was lovely! The service felt super pushy and rushed (less than an hour of being there and we already got hit with the check without ever asking and food started to get cleared). It felt like a factory line instead of relaxing dining experience.
Everytime I’m at Va Bene, I have some of the best food at my life. But this time, our server Tom made the experience incredible. I’m not hyperbolic when I say it was literally the best service I’ve ever had. Tom was amazing, the food was amazing. So nice and so genuine. Cocktail and wine recommendations were out of this world.

Amazing food! Service was great though the hostess was a bit snippy. The pasta and delightful server made up for it, though. Will be a must-stop every time we are in Duluth.
