Pasta was fine but legitimately the worst pesto I have ever had.

27$ for 9 ravioli with boar bolognese. There was just a little slice of meat in it and the sauce was like water :/ the taste wasn’t that bad but it feels like crap…..

so, the pasta itself is quite good. the service and general demeanor of the staff is not great. be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes for your food

Worst caprese sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Every part was bad from the bread to the cheese to the fact that they put iceberg lettuce on it instead of arugula …….

Horrible Experience! I had hair in my food. I showed them. The girl at the register says, “it could be yours.” Clearly, it’s a blonde strand of hair. I asked for my money back and they said they didn’t have the ability to. How are you taking my money with no way of giving it back? They didn’t even have the courtesy to ask to make my order over. For $20 pasta and sauce, it’s ridiculous. Also, PLEASE get another person take your orders. The girl there in the pink tyedye shirt is going to ruin y’all’s business. Never again!

Food is not good at all. Gummy pasta, flavorless Alfredo sauce.

We got pasta with meatballs and their menu specifies they provide 4 meatballs. When we received less than expected and inquired, they said “yeah, it’s 2 meatballs cut in half”….

I ordered the rigatoni with the Vodka sauce and I was pleasantly surprised! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was really flavorful. Will definitely be back!! (It tastes better than it looks lol)

Cucina Al Volo Review: Good, But Not Quite AdMo

Cucina Al Volo's Union Market location falls short of its brick-and-mortar counterpart in Adams Morgan, but it still offers quality food. The lamb pasta, especially, is recommended. What sets it apart is the option to customize your protein, sauces, and pasta, allowing for a personalized dining experience. While it may not fully match the AdMo experience, it's still a solid choice for a satisfying meal.

Spinach ricotta ravioli with carbonara was good. The sauce was great. Portion was small for the monstrous price. If they're making the pasta themselves, then it's fine, but it was quite expensive for what you get - especially when you're not actually dining in a restaurant. We also got the eggplant parmesan sandwich. Bread was great and the sandwich overall was just okay. Probably won't be venturing here again.

Never order takeout from this place. They never check online orders so you'll have to wait at least 15 minutes for your food. The whole point of ordering online is NOT having to do that.
