    We went to lunch and had the delicious fig and prosciutto pizza. I also had the fusilli and it was hot Temp wise and so delicious with the shrimp rolled in. We had a bottle of the Pinot Grigio very satisfying. The arancini is a must. We’ve had it other places and this is the best. All in all this restaurant is definitely in the top five in KC.

    Great food and service. Our only suggestion is that the chairs in the outside patio dining area are way too low for the height of the tables. It puts you in an awkward position and we heard others around us commenting about the same. 
    Va Bene Italian EateryResponded on April 3, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food and service. We appreciate your input on the patio seating and will look into it. Hope to see you again soon!

    Great dinner right after work. We loved everything we had to eat — the calamari appetizer, fusilli, tagliatelle, and chocolate ganache cake. The pasta dishes were especially good!
