Volare WestAuthentic FoodGreat food and service. A real gem in the suburbs. I really enjoyed their Chicago location, and now that I've moved to the area, I'm thrilled that this location is just as good.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMNever disappointsHave had sea bass there three times now and it was prepared differently each time, but each time done well. They are willing to substitute items on request. Wait staff attentive but not hovering.6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is very good. WaitressFood is very good. Waitress was excellent. Have eaten there previously and would go back again.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food! Great Service!We were greeted by friendly, smiling hosts--that was a great start. Our table was ready when we arrived and the service was excellent from beginning to end. After having reviewed the menu over and over (so many tempting choices!), we finally made our selections. The food was outstanding!! Fresh ingredients that were perfectly prepared and seasoned to perfection! We will definitely be back!5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMdelishFound the restaurant on Google and very glad we did. Great service and delicious food.
Some of their pasta is homemade.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a very nice Mother'sWe had a very nice Mother's Day dinner. Jody, our waitress, was excellent. My whitefish entree was delicious. I would certainly dine at this restaurant again. The only negative was the noise level. Part of this was due to the rowdy table of 30 people next to us!
Our grandchildren are being taught manners and how to behave in a restaurant. Apparently, some parents believe in placing all the children at one end of the table in a free for all with total disregard for those dining around them.
,5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMRisotto HeavenVolare West and Volare downtown Chicago have delicious food, good service, and good ambience. The downtown location is a bit smaller but both have a great Italian flair! The west location was very busy and we had to wait 20+ minutes beyond our reservation. It was also quite loud and hard to talk over the noise. The food however was worth the wait! Our server was efficient and busy, felt a bit rushed.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMRespect the ReservationUpon arrival, the hostess was less than friendly and since we were 20 minutes early, she told us our table was not ready. After enjoying a cocktail in the lounge with the live music, I approached the hostess again at 7:30, where again she was less than friendly or apologetic and didn't even know the correct number in my party. Again she told me they didn't have a table available yet. Finally, at 8:00 I again approached the hostess desk where the manager happened to be standing and explained our situation. With that, the manager quickly ushered us to a table, apologized and was more than accomodating with the remainer of our time at the restaurant. For this reason, I would dine there again.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMServiceOutstanding waiter! Our meals were prepared wonderfully and quite delicious.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing Italian Food!Love this place! Amazing food, the square noodles are to die for! Also, one of the best steaks I have ever had! Lawrence is a fabulous server and Mike, the manager, is a great guy!4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first time eatingThis was our first time eating at Volare. The service was excellent. In addition to the usual dishes seen at an Italian restaurant, there were some unique offerings as well. The food was delicious....Appetizer to dessert. The dining room was very vibrant. The room was full on the Saturday night we were there, however our group of six could still carry on a conversation as it was not too noisy. We look forward to returning again soon.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMStarting with Lawrence ourStarting with Lawrence our waiter the evening was magnificent. He was funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. His recommendation for the wine and our dinner choices were outstanding making for a very wonderful evening with our frineds who were here for the first time.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience!I loved Volare and will return. There was nothing that I didn't like. Food, wine, service, price. All good. A very kind staff.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!We had a superb meal at Volare. The service was fabulous and every single item we ate was a "wow!" experience. The menu was exceptional and we had many items picked out already from the internet. When we got there they had 3 or 4 specials that sounded so good most of us went for them. We even had one diner (there were 8 of us) who wanted a pasta dish but was indecisive. The waiter had the chef make a special dish based on what she told him she wanted.
Good wine list as well. The Belle Glos Pinot (2011) was an excellent choice for the price which was NOT marked up as much as most places.
The 8 of us were just visiting and we all said we wish we were staying another night so we could go back. It was simply great. Don't miss it.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had an excellent serverWe had an excellent server named Eric. The food was fantastic, as was the service. On member of our party had a special God Pinot Grigio that was excellent. Would recommend for "foodies", and regular diners. Also enjoyed the way dessert was shared, individual portions could be shared easily. We ate in the dining room, did not see the bar area.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best seafood pastaOne of the best seafood pasta dishes I ever had.
