Va Bene was the second dinner my fiancee and I had in Phoenix. First was a Mexican food chain where the waiter greeted us with a free dessert sampler after spending countless minutes describing our new home (while dealing with 4-5 other tables, too), so we weren't expecting much. On the contrary, we were extremely pleased by what we found.\n\nOur bartender, Randy, remembered us on our second visit which was over a month after our first. Now, we go as often as I'm home and enjoy a solid happy hour filled with cheap well drinks, beers, house wines, and half-price apps. After a few drinks and an appetizer or two, we're always ready cross the street to our apartment and \"cook.\" \n\nVa Bene features live music at least once per week and is loaded with cougars, so bring your magnums if you're in the mood to hunt... Great atmosphere, great service, and high-quality Italian food are enough for me any day.
