DULUTH, Minn.- It seemed Valentine’s Day was the first, closest-to-normal holiday in almost a year, especially for restaurants in the Northland. For some, it was the first time opening up to dine-in customers during the pandemic.
“Love is in the air and we’re happy to be a part of it,” said Patrick Moore, co-owner of Va Bene Caffe.
The Italian restaurant on East Superior Street continued with its annual Valentine’s Day Dinner tradition despite the pandemic.
“It’s a 5-course prix fixe tasting menu with wine pairings,” Moore said. “We did it last night too, we do it every year. It’s the only dine-in choice we’re offering with the limited capacity.”
