Whether visiting for a special celebration or a casual meal, guests often express a strong desire to return, solidifying the restaurant's reputation as a standout culinary gem in the heart of Petit Champlain.
Fue una experiencia inolvidable. Lo encontramos caminando por Quebec y fue la mejor decisión. Queremos agradecerle a Sara la atención recibida y que nos hablara en espanol. La comida estuvo espectacular. Elegimos el menú de 4 tiempos que incluía un antipasto, un carpa cio de carne, una pasta a la parmigiana y un tiramisu. Gracias. Super recomendado.
Notre italien préféré, on y retourne chaque fois que nous allons à Québec! Tout est impeccable : le service, l'ambiance, la magnifique terrasse & les délicieux plats italiens traditionnels!
Le carpaccio est mon incontournable, le Carbonara est incroyable de même que les pâtes flambées en meule de fromage avec joue de boeuf braisée. Décadent!!! Le Tiramisu est leur seul dessert & il est tout simplement parfait!!!!
Un arrêt s'impose, quel extraordinaire expérience chaque fois!!! Nous avons déjà hâte à la prochaine fois!!! Merci au personnel attentionné & si agréable!!!
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!
