My visit to Va Bene was a tale of two meals. Since a salad doesn't come with your entree, I ordered a caesar salad, big mistake! The salad was awful. The salad was small and the dressing tasted almost like mayo. I had my wife take a bite to make sure I wasn't wrong in my assessment.
When the server asked how the salad was, I honestly told her the salad wasn't good. The look on her face was priceless. I sucked it up and ate my salad. I hate to see $9 go down the drain.
My meal was better. I had the Rigatoni, sausage, peppers in a cream sauce. I liked the dish quite a bit, but I was still a little scorned from the salad fiasco.

The service was decent. The inside was nice and had a nice atmosphere. I can see why people like this place. To me, this place is more flash.
I don't plan to head back to this place. If you do go, I'd avoid the salad. I think other Italian places in the area give you better food at the same/cheaper rate and overall provide better value for your dollar.
Just my 2 cents.
