    Johnathan and his team do a wonderful job. Rotollini is a must and we get it every time. My wife tried the ravioli and loved it. I had the frutti di mare and it was excellent. Volare is one of if not our favorite restaurant in town.

    Went to Volare for a date night and it didn’t disappoint. We were seated in the outdoor area and it didn’t feel outside at all. Our server Danielle was top notch, the food and wine 🍷 was top notch. It was very memorable date night.

    Volare is a wonderful Italian restaurant in a cute neighborhood. We enjoyed our drive to the restaurant. We went to Volare on Sunday night after the Derby. Unfortunately like a lot of other restaurants, they had a limited menu for the weekend, so we didn't get to see their full menu. We still found many delicious meals to order. The food was fabulous, as was the service. They had a great wine list and a full bar. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

    Volare is one of our favorite restaurants. The quality of food and the service is always excellent. We were a bit disappointed with our last visit which occurred the Sunday after Derby. The menu was limited and the prices were higher than usual. Several of our favorite menu items were not available. Everything was delicious as usual and our server (Sarah) was wonderful. Lesson learned and we will be back!

    Since they were having a Derby party in their tent next door, there were no modifications allowed to any dish. No additional side orders allowed, nothing other than order an entire separate meal. That should have been disclosed. Lots of food at our table was wasted. They serve beets on the steak plates, if you hate them or allergic, best of luck. We were excited but sadly disappointed when the waitress, who served our table of 4, only 3 rolls and then chastised us for asking for more “when she could get to it”. Apparently, we should have had 4 but due to the “party” they must have messed up in the kitchen. I don’t know how this restaurant was so highly rated for the food, steak was bland (one was even a $96 Waygu), chicken parm had minimal flavor and the rigatoni was boring. $400 later and we all left hungry. Should’ve gone to McDonald’s.
