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.

Standout menu items include the fresh pasta prepared in a cheese wheel, a variety of delicious antipasto platters, and a highly praised, authentic tiramisu.

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.
The waitress here is incredibly nice! She took the time to go through the menu & gave us a super detailed breakdown of all the best dishes. The food quality was outstanding. To top it off, she recommended the tiramisu for dessert, & it was absolutely amazing. Great food & excellent service! ✨✨
Vraiment une belle adresse à découvrir! Nous avons pris leur menu table d'hôte, donc nous avons eu un peu de tout. Leur tour d'antipasto est très originale, & nous avons eu la chance de voir nos pâtes se faire flamber dans une grosse meule de fromage. C'était un peu cher (100$/pers), mais les portions étaient bien, nous n'avons même pas pu finir le tiramisu à la fin. C'est vraiment petit comme endroit, mais très chaleureux.

Absolutely delicious food. We enjoyed everything we had. The focaccia is airy. It's interesting how great the lemon came through & paired well with olive oil. Never had that elsewhere. The gnocchi poutine was nice. Not too salty, not too heavy. The onion soup was delicious. The tiramisu was on point. We had fun digging to the bottom. Our waiter also took good care of us. He always kept our water filled. Probably the best service we got amongst all the places we tried. Highly recommended. Not to mention the view from this restaurant
Amazing food. Went for our anniversary & had wonderful service & delightful, delicious dishes. Decided to splurge with the pairing menu & couldn't have made a better decision. Next time we come back to the City we'll be sure to make another stop. They made our night very special. Also be sure to get the tiramisu, I hear it's an 80 year old family recipe.
Un gros wow pour notre soirée au Va Bene ! Notre serveuse Emilie était tout simplement exceptionnelle : passionnée, souriante, accueillante, à l'écoute de nos besoins & connaissant son menu à la perfection.
Les banquettes, en forme de petite hutte, créent une ambiance vraiment conviviale & chaleureuse.
& que dire du menu… On aurait voulu tout goûter ! Chaque plat était absolument délicieux. L'Italie est littéralement venue à nous le temps d'une soirée.
& que dire du dessert… le tiramisu 😋🤤Honnêtement, on ne peut pas passer à côté de ce tiramisu-là. Il est… indescriptible. J'en suis restée sans mots. Je n'ai jamais goûté un tiramisu aussi bon, aussi parfait. Une vraie douceur qui termine la soirée en beauté.
Une expérience que je recommande sans hésiter ! 😍☺?
Si vous voulez bien manger dans le Vieux Québec, n'hésitez pas à franchir la porte de ce resto! Nourriture délicieuse (le tiramisu est une tuerie), le spritz parfait & les plats excellents ! Une belle surprise gustative à un prix raisonnable ce qui est encore un plus🙂
We ate there on the second day of our stay & enjoyed it so much we came back the next day to have the Cacio e Pepe which was wonderful (as was the Tiramisu). Top-notch service both times. Highly recommended!
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.
Merci à la petite équipe du Va Bene & à l'agréable & souriante serveuse qui m'a servi ce samedi 14 Mars.
Je testais pour la première fois ce petit restaurant & c'est globalement une réussite.
Cette place est vraiment agréable & très bien situé au coeur du petit champlain & doté d'un jeux
de lumière assez tamisé pour joindre un cadre romantique à votre expérience.
Le Tiramisu à 16$ était excellent, conseillé par la serveuse du soir & bien assez grand pour finir votre repas & mettre fin à votre appétit.
Je n'ai pas trouvé mes pâtes tagliatelle à la bolognese assez délicieuse car je les trouvais légèrement dur mais la présentation du plat fût une réussite.
Une bonne adresse pour manger dans un restaurant Italien mêlant intimité & qualité 🍝
