Va Bene Caffe is a charming — but little-known — Italian restaurant in Duluth, Minnesota. They're open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Address: 734 East Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55802.
The vibe gets even better if you can snag a seat on the patio. This window-lined room is, simply put, gorgeous. The lakefront view is made complete by the sight of the Aerial Lift Bridge in the distance.
For an even closer view of Lake Superior, head to the back deck. You'll feel the wind in your hair and hear the waves crashing ashore as you eat your meal.
Speaking of your meal, it will be absolutely delicious. If you come with an appetite, try one of the many fantastic appetizers. Try artichoke dip, bruschetta, caprese, or any of the other seven options. You can't go wrong with any.
And when it comes to ordering your entree, there are even more options. Eight different panini choices, all served with a signature salad, make a great lunch.
If you'd prefer pasta, Va Bene has countless options. Familiar favorites such s carbonara and alfredo are absolutely delicious, with homemade sauce and fantastic flavor.
No matter what you get at this delicious Italian restaurant, you cannot go wrong. When paired with a view - and perhaps a glass of wine or a cocktail - Va Bene has all the makings of a perfect Duluth meal.
