What separates the extraordinary from the ordinary? Simple answer: Volare Italian Ristorante never disappoints! Consistently extraordinary service, amazing food, expertly crafted drinks, and a wine list that truly stands out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—think contemporary Italian with cozy vibes. It's one place we can always count on for an extraordinary night out.

Wonderful experience, the dinner was amazing, as you can see in the photos. It is a bit loud so if you have a business dinner you may want to mention in your reservation that you require a more secluded area. The service was good, staff were respectful and responsive for the most part. We will be back

Volare Italian Ristorante in Louisville, Kentucky delivered an evening of refined dining that deserves recognition. A sincere thank you to Jonathan Derulo, managing partner, and executive chef Joshua Moore, whose leadership and creativity set the stage for a remarkable culinary experience. The balance of attentive service and carefully executed dishes showcased their dedication to excellence. Sharing the table with my good friend John Frazier , his wife Glenda Frazier, Ryker Salazar, and @Dylan made the evening even more special. Our friendship began right here on LinkedIn, and dinners like this remind me how professional connections can turn into lifelong friendships. Highlights from the meal included: • Calamari with zucchini, lemon, basil, and a bright pepper aïoli • Fried Green Tomatoes with a crisp Southern flair • Rotellini de Milan Zane with baked eggplant, ricotta, and marinara • Pappardelle Boscaiola house-made pasta with mushrooms, applewood bacon, and demi-glaze cream sauce • Roasted Duck with Gorgonzola risotto, asparagus, sour cherry, jalapeño demi-glaze, and toasted pistachio Volare, established in the mid-2000s, has become a Louisville staple. Chef Joshua Moore’s vision, from cultivating his own produce to showcasing his talent on Chopped, ensures every plate reflects a thoughtful marriage of Northern Italian tradition and Kentucky influences. This is a restaurant well worth the trip for anyone seeking elevated Italian cuisine paired with genuine hospitality. This restaurant is Restaurants USA, and #MeijerFineDiningClub approved. #FineDining #ItalianCuisine #LouisvilleEats #FoodieExperience #CulinaryExcellence

What an absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant! The food was outstanding—every dish full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared—but what truly set the experience apart was the service. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with such warmth and care that it elevated the entire evening. The staff didn’t just serve a meal, they created an experience. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to be both so well fed and so well taken care of. An unforgettable night that will definitely have us coming back again and again! Thanks Greg

The first impression… we arrived at 5:10 PM and we had a very friendly greeting at the hostess stand. We wanted to sit at the bar, which was a great choice. We get to take in all the ambience, and it was a huge square bar. It filled up quickly, as there were many reservations, even just for the bar area. There a quaint area for regular tables and then they had a private room in the back. We started off with a bottle of wine, which was half priced and then calamari which was lightly battered, and it came with a Peppadew pepper aïoli sauce, which was fantastic and topped with three zucchini slices. Then we had the special kale salad with a light dressing with prosciutto Then for the main course we split the chicken limone, which was so delicious topped with a lemony sauce and capers. Came with collard greens and some risotto. Everything was delicious! Look forward to going back soon.
