| - I often go to Va Bene for happy hour, they have one of the best happy hours in town! First off, happy hour is until 7:00, which is a huge plus. AND, Happy Hour is EVERY DAY starting at 4, and ALL DAY on Sunday and Monday.
As far as drinks go, in addition to beer and wine, they have a huge variety of marvelous martini's featuring Grey Goose and Skyy specials. The Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini was our favorite. In the past, I have also enjoyed the Espresso Martini.
The appetizers are amazing, and all but the scallops are half price. And even full price, the scallops are worth every penny; huge scallops, perfectly cooked and served with a heaping side salad of field greens and tomatoes, perfectly dressed with a light vinaigrette. I sometimes get this for my meal.
The Bruschetta is good if you're not afraid of garlic and the Antipasto Misto is a great dish to share. The Calamari Fritti is tasty, which is also served with a small side salad. (Yes, I eat the garnish. What? It's good!!)
Other favorites include the Gamberoni con Prosciutto (proscuitto wrapped shrimp) and the Carpaccio, both big winners! The complimentary bread is soft and served with delicious roasted red pepper butter, very yummy! The staff is always sure to keep the breadbasket and water glasses full at all times.
By the time we are finished, we are all pleasantly stuffed, slightly buzzed, and 100% happy!
