I am still beyond devastated that this restaurant closed. It was an absolute treasure. Miss it all the time especially in the run up to the holidays.

I am very sorry to report this restaurant seems to be closed, per New York Magazine: We'll miss you, guys. Truly the best Italian in the city -- with the nicest people and a great crowd. New York is always changing: I guess that's what makes it New York, but it's hard to lose these old friends.

We dined for lunch here and had a great experience. I used to dine here regularly when I was corporate and privately but in the meantime have moved away for almost 20 years. The restaurant was always one of our all time favorites and it hasn’t skipped a beat in all these years. The ownership is the same, the menu is mostly the same and of course there are specials. It has lovely ambience and excellent service. It had been closed for some months due to Covid but is now open and operating as if nothing had happened. We had the veal and tuna starter and the seafood salad. Since it was lunch, we shared a spaghetti with clam sauce. All three were exceptional. We’re looking forward to a return to the city in three weeks and plan to dine there for dinner.

Sal is the owner of his family restaurant spanning many years. He greets all customers, makes drinks and even serves you himself. It’s a cozy, romantic restaurant. Solo, family, business everyone feels like family. Food is fantastic , Volare salad ahhhh so good. Pasta Bolanaise magnificent. Always busy Holidays are such fun especially Christmas play Italian songs whole restaurant sings along. Customer Service Primo.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! What a wonderful experience, excellent service, warm and friendly staff, and the food!!! So good and such large portions! I had eaten a cannoli in Sicily a few years back and ever since every cannoli I order, I compare to the Sicily one. Had a cannoli here and it was the best I've EVER had! Will definitely come back next time I'm in New York!

Went to Volare Rest. for a birthday celebration. Family style food. Had the delicious lasagna and the clams mmmmmm. Friendly staff and drink pour MacCallan's 12yrs finish the night with a shot of Frangelica. Hope it survive during this tumultuous moment. Looking forward to going again.
