Va Bene offers an intimate and memorable dining experience in the heart of Old Quebec, known for its warm, cozy atmosphere and high-quality Italian cuisine. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional service, noting that the staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about creating a special environment. Standout menu items include the fresh pasta prepared in a cheese wheel, a variety of delicious antipasto platters, and a highly praised, authentic tiramisu. While the restaurant space is small and reservations are strongly recommended to ensure a table, the combination of professional hospitality, inviting decor, and flavourful dishes makes it a highly regarded destination for both celebratory dinners and casual visits.
Located in thee heart of Petit Champlain, we were happy to find a restaurant with a dog-friendly patio. The service stood out - very attentive, friendly, & welcoming!
The food was mixed. The carpaccio was delicious, but the antipasto came with bread that felt quite dry & the pasta was overcooked & a bit mushy. The tiramisu, however, was excellent & a clear highlight of the meal.
Very good dinner on a rainy night. Va Bene is a busy place on a tourist street in the old town, & is a good spot to watch les gens qui passant. The pasta was quite good & service cheerful & prompt.
Tiny claustrophobia-inducing place. The antipasto was fine, but the pasta dishes are lackluster, the bolognese was dry - sucked the life out of the room. $9 bottles of wine for $12 a glass. Tourist trap. Yikes.

The service & atmosphere was great. The place is small & cozy-chic. We had the flambé pasta with a glass of wine & the tiramisu. While the tiramisu & wine was exquisite we were a bit disappointed in the pasta as some were undercooked. The sauce was ok but not as outstanding as we expected from a place like this. However, the beef cheek garnish was delicious. As such, we will come back to taste their different options & have another taste of their fabulous dessert.
My name is Vincent Muambi. Last week, two friends & I visited this restaurant during the holiday. I ordered the pasta dinner, & it was absolutely terrific. This was my first time experiencing authentic Northern Italian cuisine from the Bologna region, & I was thoroughly impressed. It is well worth the price, & I look forward to returning later this year with my future wife!
Everything was wonderful!! The atmosphere amazing! The food - extraordinary. We did the pasta experience & the staff there really made it memorable. We didn't get a full picture of the finished dish but I think we had it with the beef tongue garnish & we all really enjoyed it!! It's such a quaint, cozy & remarkable restaurant. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful dining experience here this week. The service was excellent, friendly, courteous, & attentive. The food was enjoyable, & while we've definitely had better pasta, this was a solid Quebec 5 compared to most other options. We especially enjoyed the flammable pasta; it was fun to watch, & they even let you step by the kitchen to see it being prepared. Overall, it was a lovely experience, though we do wish the space were a bit larger.
Helpful tip: Reservations are recommended, as not all tables are occupied. Be sure to request a booth even if you're dining as a couple, since the two-person tables are quite small & tight.
