Va Bene Restaurant

Tucked away inside the Ramada Windsor—just off Lutwyche Road—sits a masterclass in *vera cucina italiana*. No pretentious menus here. Just honest, deeply comforting traditional fare. Brisbane’s pasta purists champion this courtyard dining room for its unapologetic old-school charm and staggering warmth. Start with house-made porcini and asiago arancini—crisp, earthy, perfect. Then pivot to the gnocchi al granchio, brimming with fresh crab, chili, and a splash of white wine. The pumpkin and ricotta cannelloni? An absolute triumph. Diners seeking straightforward classics routinely applaud the flawlessly executed lamb rack and barramundi. Finish your night *al fresco* with a ricotta-piped cannoli or a silky panna cotta. Supreme hospitality. Authentic flavors. Everything here truly goes *va bene*.
