Welcome to Va Bene Caffe

Embracing Italian culture, owners Mary Kay and Jim Berarducci have crafted Va Bene — fresh Italian food prepared with quality ingredients, to be enjoyed in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Dine in, take away, or shop for Italian specialty groceries at Va Bene.

All of our sauces, dressings, breads, and fabulous desserts are made on site from scratch. We use only select imported Italian products, including Prosciutto di Parma and San Daniella Prosciutto, as well as our choice olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and assorted cheeses.

With Va Bene, they have created a one of a kind experience — a caffe devoted to Italian dishes served with hospitality at an accessible price. Looking through the street-side glass windows, one discovers a lively, inviting backdrop, hinting at the fresh, smart cuisine within.
