Editorial Review for Volare Italian Restaurant – by Staci Falkowitz

The Scene
With textured walls painted in warm golden hues, linen tablecloths and subdued lighting, this intimate neighborhood trattoria exudes both warmth and refinement. Service is impeccable, with the knowledge and attentiveness of the seasoned wait staff adding to the impressive dining experience.

The Food
Begin your meal with a nice bottle of red, and perhaps the roasted pepper stuffed with prosciutto, creamy mozzarella and basil. For entrees, the homemade pasta dishes include a rich spinach and ricotta ravioli tossed with butter and fresh sage. Seafood dishes are a real strength; the whole Mediterranean sea bass is light, fresh, and filleted tableside by your server. Top it off with espresso and a homemade dessert like the rich chocolate mousse cake or deliciously light granny smith apple purse, a puff pastry filled with apples and walnuts, served with a vanilla raspberry sauce.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This restaurant is beautiful with wonderful food. The service is top notch. The owner is always present to insure everyone is happy. I love all the veal dishes. His pasta of the day is always great. The fruit sorbet is terrific. They make their own lemoncello -- also terrific. A great place. Agree that the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the experience. We are regulars here.

Pros: Food and atmosphere

Cons: none at all

You walk in and the place is beautiful. You are serve with nice waiters with smiling face. Good variety on the menu and specials. The wine list is great but the price is what was so special they don't take you to the cleaner there like the other places. For dinner, I had a mushrooms soup that was to die for, no dairy, just pure mushrooms, my husband had a carpaccio that was excellent also. Main course I had the salmon with the capers that was perfectly done and my husband had the Osso Bucco, it was quite a challenge, I'm french I make one the provencal way and he never found one so far as good as mine and he taugh it was pretty good. I had to taste it and I have to say that it was very good too. We finished with tiramisu that was sublime with an espresso. The dinner was just wonderful. We will be back with friends very very soon!

Pros: impeccable service, parking next door, beautiful room, big bar, great ambiance
