We had an early birthday celebration here and it was lovely. Our waitress was charming and attentive. The food was delicious. Chef's homegrown tomatoes made for an outstanding caprese salad. The chicken parm was perfect and my husband's lasagna was also a hit. The surprise celebration cake was delicious and thoughtful. We love Volare and continue coming back because it's just hard to beat!

Food drinks & service were outstanding! Was celebrating my son‘s birthday and you made it very extra special. Calamari, salads, pasta, and veal were all exceptional. Always a favorite place to dine.

Always enjoy Volare. Everything about the restaurant is first class. Make a special effort to go during tomato season as Executive Chef, Josh Moore, grows his own heirloom tomato. The caprese salad is delicious as is the tomato pie.
