Indoor-outdoor Italian eatery with lake views & creative cocktails
























"Va Bene’s enclosed solarium, open-air deck, and outdoor grotto all offer panoramic views of Lake Superior. When the night calls for an old-school Italian dinner, this restaurant’s carbonara, bolognese, and pappardelle e funghi all hit the spot. Pair them all with a generous pour of red wine." - Justine Jones


"It’s hard to beat Va Bene’s lake views, whether from the grotto — a protected but open-air dining space outside — or the glittering solarium, which offers unimpeded views of Lake Superior rain or shine. A menu of thoughtful antipasti, fresh pasta, risotto, and, of course, Italian wine make a meal here feel special without being overly formal. Make a reservation ahead of time." - Eater Staff
