I’ve been wanting to try Chef Massimo’s dishes as I’ve heard such great reviews about it. Also, I’ve seen photos on Instagram that were truly appetizing and I was so delighted to finally try and it’s so true… it’s one of the best pasta there is!
The place was a bit small with few tables and chairs available. It was also jam-packed during lunch, an indication that they serve amazing food, right? There’s orange couches available to make you feel comfy. I also adore all the wines on the display. Such a best pairing with your Italian food.
Currently, Va Bene Pasta Deli offers Business Lunch from Monday’s through Friday’s at 11:30 am – 5:30 pm. You’d get to have an appetizer and main for only 399+
Here’s what’s on the menu:
APPETIZER:
Mixed Lettuce – with Roasted Onions, Crispy Tomatoes, Balsamic Dressing and Shaved Parmesan Cheese. This is a great start to a meal. Refreshing as it looks. It tasted delicious as well. It was such a clever idea to have the tomatoes fried too to make it real crisp.
Creamy Gorgonzola Polenta – with Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms, Lemon and Parsley – If you love cheese, this is the best appetizer for you. It was creamy and the mushrooms were savory.
Tomato Soup – with Mozzarella Cheese, Basil Pesto, Black Ink Quadrucci – Perfect for this rainy weather. This would be my favorite appetizer out of three. Great that there’s some pesto in there too to have additional taste.
MAIN COURSE:
Tortellini Bolognese – Light Parmesan Cheese Fondue, Arugula, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The meat inside was flavorful already. I so love that the pasta was not too thick. It was really fresh! The cheese fondue made it creamier too.
Chicken Milanese – it comes with Fried Potatoes and Mixed Lettuce. The chicken was juicy and soft. Really tasty! It was cooked to perfection. The cheese and tomato sauce made it more flavorful. Fried potatoes were flavored as well with the right saltiness to it.
Black Ink Linguine – it has Zucchini, Garlic, Olive Oil, Chili, Clams, Mussel. The seafood were fresh and I love that it does not have any fishy taste at all. The pasta, again, was cooked al dente! Such a lovely pasta as it looks.
