We went to this restaurant in Chicago and it was truly a wonderful experience! The food was excellent; you could taste the quality and care put into every dish. Everything was truly delicious! The service was impeccable: the staff was attentive, kind, and always available; we immediately felt at ease. A special thank you to Benni for your hospitality ❤️ Even though we're distant relatives, it was truly a pleasure getting to know you better, hearing your story, and experiencing your restaurant. My sincere compliments to you and your entire staff; you're fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

Food was pretty good. But we went for a birthday.. we weren't greeted well and then they sat us outside in an enclosed patio right by the door and it was 40° outside.. so every time the door open we froze trying to enjoy a $300 check but couldn't, when they turned the heaters on it felt like we were in the ovens with the food.. no comfort at ALL, WE MOVED, again still outside and it was no better. Then they didn't even apologize or offer a complentary desert or anything. I prob wouldn't go back. What a shame.

very easy to reserve and front of house staff was welcoming. all of the appetizers were delicious, as were the pasta dishes (i had the linguine with clams). the tiramisu was amazing. our server was also amazing.

I absolutely love volare! The pasta is good and the service. It’s rly busy so I recommend booking a reservation. The shrimp pasta is the way to go but their gnocchi and risotto is good. Also love the complimentary bread at the beginning. A little warm and busy. Not as intimate but food so good
