It is impossible to beat the location of Va Bene . This lively, warm Italian restaurant has a spectacular view of Lake Superior from practically any corner of their dining rooms, of which there are several.

Whether you are sitting inside, surrounded with warm, yellow walls, and cheerful art, or on their outdoor patios, you will have a front row view of the enormous expanse of water and sky. The food matches the wonderful atmosphere and the views; everything is fresh and made from scratch daily. They make their own sauces, breads, dressings, gnocchi, and desserts.

Ingredients are sourced locally except for what has to come from Italy – prosciuttos, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and special Italian cheeses. The menu is typical Italian and everything is made to perfection. Whatever you choose, leave some space for dessert. Their gelatos are legendary.
