Good set lunch menu. If lucky get the table by open windows. You can smell Lan Kwai Fong during the day.

Fresh ingredients, delicious dishes, good wine, rich menu, warm atmosphere. If you are looking for excellent Italian food, this is the right address. In the middle of the Hong Kong's nightlife, Va Bene restaurant maintains the promise its name suggests (“va bene” means “it goes well”, “it's okay”). A perfectly charming and quiet place in the crowded Lan Kwai Fong... More

I could have been influenced by a bad date at this restaurant. =) The quality of the food is good - the bread was great, However, in Hong Kong where the choice for food is so huge, I would not think of Va Bene as my go to place for Italian. I also found the seating a bit cramped which... More

Service needs a major rethink. It was OTT constantly topping up glass of water after taking a drink from it. Asked to order drinks before being give a menu. Made to wait and had to ask for menus. Noticed adjacent table also had to ask for a drinks menu after asking for menus when seated. Overall food was good. More... More

Having been in Va Bene a couple of times, it is a place that I can recommand for dinner. The interior decoration is stylish. The atmosphere allows you to have a discussion, attentive service and the food is excellent. As in all Hong Kong restaurants, they will continue to fill the glasses with water and wine, in order to sell... More

Every dish I have had is delicious. Lovely for a date, or any special occasion,... More

I feel that Italian food in Asia a mixed bag, so it was great to find this restaurant. Pasta cooked properly, good wines and great service make this a great place to eat.
