Va Bene Caffe in Dulutd

Nice place. Shaded outdoor seating, good variety in the menu, fun cocktails, and a great view! You do need reservations right now. I got a pear panini and it was so so good.

Go, just go, and if you can get a table on the outdoor patio it is a must. Matt was a great server, the food was incredible, the view stunning. We are self proclaimed “foodies” and this hits the mark. This is one of, if not the best restaurant in Duluth. Thank you for making our night.

This use to be my favorite Italian place in town, but sadly our food was very bland tonight:( We both had pasta dishes that needed more sauce and when extra sauce was added it was still a 1/10. Very bland and the scallops had a lot of sand and grit in them. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

Good Italian food made from scratch right in the tiny cafe. Nice treat at fair prices. The restaurant itself was more "cafe" than "Italian" and could use some love.

We found Ve Bene by accident a few years back and it has now become one of our go to spots in Duluth. Always great service, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The views from the Solarium and the Grotto rival any in Duluth. Stop in for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I went here for our anniversary and they congratulated us and made us feel so welcomed. Our server Tom was super nice, kind, and willing to go out of his way for us. It was busy due to it being a nice saturday evening and Tom took the time to talk to us, make sure we were okay, and truly interact with us. The food was a little behind due to it being busy, but he made sure that we were okay with it and had amazing customer service. Tom didn’t let the stress get to him and made sure he had a smile on his face regardless of any situation! We appreciate everything the staff did for us! The food was 10/10 amazing, the view was gorgeous, and they were very cautious about COVID-19 and made sure every customer and staff member was wearing a mask. Tom even had a rag to clean off his hands and protect my phone to take pictures of us upon our request, so kind! 100% recommend this place!

Stormy evening on Lake Superior, but a beautiful view from The Grotto! Good food and wine topped it off!

Unbelievable. The fact that this food exists not just under heaven, but in Duluth absolutely blows me away. This is not only the best Italian spot in town but likely also the best restaurant.I have been to Italy. I have made crab raviolis. I have never had Italian food like that.We dove into our takeout about half an hour after I picked it up and it was still nice and hot!

Beautiful birthday dinner! We sat on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful view along with the delicious Va Bene salad before our main meals arrived. Our server was masked and had just the right attentiveness. We were given an hour 15 to eat due to limited seating, but did not feel rushed at all.

Va Bene never fails to amaze. Even though we had to sit outside in the lawn because we had our dog, the service outstanding and the food so great that we canceled our reservations for the next night and came back again. Gelato felt like being back in Sorrento again. A must if you are staying in or driving through Duluth.
