My husband and I went to Volare’s for a perfect dinner . Heard they changed owners and was pleasantly surprised!

The owner and staff were very pleasant and attentive.

Dining here was a fantastic experience. Had to share the pictures our delicious food.

First pic… clams and linguine and tilapia stuffed with crabmeat. Cooked to perfection!Second one was our appetizer. Lentil soup and octopus salad. Octopus was so tender and lentil soup tasted just like my own! Last was an Italian cheese cake. The cake was made with ricotta which made thee cake light and smooth! Enjoyed every course. A added plus…this restaurant is a bring your own! I would definitely recommend dining here!

First off, we’re coming back here again tonight for an awesome dinner experience. Last week, I came here with my husband and 1 year old. They were extremely patient and kind to us the whole time. Food was delicious! We ordered the red snapper special as an app and we were not disappointed. They had us try their fried zucchini, which again, delicious. I would suggest a garlic aioli for dipping. Pasta is homemade and just tasteful, and really reminded us of our trip to Italy. Last but not least, you have to try their homemade ricotta cheesecake. That dessert will speak for itself!! My stomach is growling at the thought of having dinner here again tonight!

This was an incredibly satisfying Italian restaurant. They truly mastered the basics, and the ingredients were exceptionally fresh. For appetizers, we ordered fried calamari, burrata cheese, and mussels, with complimentary zucchini fries on the house. The batter on their fries was thin, crispy, and slightly salty, making them delicious even on their own. The burrata cheese was incredibly fresh, almost as if it had just been made, and paired perfectly with the tomatoes served alongside. The mussels had a delightful balance of white wine and citrus, offering a tangy yet deep flavor. We even ordered extra bread to savor the broth. For the main course, I had the linguine vongole, while my companions ordered gnocchi, meatballs, capellini, and red snapper. The linguine vongole was cooked al dente and sautéed just right for an oil-based pasta, with fresh clams to match. The gnocchi had a chewy texture, true to authentic Italian style, and the cheese served alongside enhanced its flavor. The capellini was perfectly cooked, with the shrimp and pasta absorbing the sauce well, resulting in a soft and flavorful dish. The red snapper was crispy on the outside yet tender inside, and the accompanying spinach was also delicious. This restaurant is BYOB, and the servers frequently checked on our table, responding promptly to any requests. We finished with cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. The cheesecake was as smooth as a cream mousse, rich with cheesy flavor, while the tiramisu was soaked in coffee, just like a traditional Italian version should be. This restaurant leans more towards an authentic Italian style than the typical American-Italian restaurant. The music, ambiance, and even the vibe of the staff exuded an Italian feel. They were friendly to kids, and the availability of high chairs made dining comfortable.

I order often from Volares & pick up for a family of four because the food is exceptional. My wife & I have gone back in person & again have experienced both the food, service & the attention to detail to be part of a consistent great experience. But when your part of a 40 person plus gathering to celebrate a 20 year anniversary & see first hand how the owner, Andy, creates an unforgeable evening for all of us, that takes this to an entirely new level. The starters like the hot delicious mussels, clams casino & the eggplant rolatini were mouth watering. The main course choices of sole allá nonna, salmon Dijon, chicken francese or the veal mushroom madeira

Food and service were fine but everything was a bit overpriced. Had a really bad cappuccino - I definitely expect more from an Italian restaurant. A little sad to see the warmth and welcoming atmosphere is no longer present.

Lovely service staff. Every single dish was cooked to perfection and there is a wine store next door to make BYOB even easier. Great ambiance. Definitely give this place a try!!!
