Absolutely smacking delicious Italian cuisine here at Volare! All of our pasta dishes were excellent and wonderfully tasting, especially their squid ink risotto and pasta. Seafood was fresh and delicious. Our server was wonderfully attentive and made sure we had a great time. Great portion sizes, left feeling quite full.

The service was attentive and welcoming, with a team that clearly takes pride in making guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. The food was the highlight of the visit, with beautifully prepared Italian dishes that showcased quality ingredients and thoughtful execution. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, well-balanced, and a great representation of the care that goes into the kitchen. The menu had a great mix of traditional favorites and standout options that made the experience memorable. We’re always looking for places that tell a story through their craft, whether it’s a brewery, distillery, or restaurant, and Volare does that through its food, hospitality, and atmosphere. It’s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Chicago. We’d happily recommend it and look forward to visiting again.

What an incredible experience at Volare! The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. A special thank you to our server, Kyle, for providing exceptional service all evening. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Mike at the bar also knocked it out of the park with outstanding drinks. The owner even stopped by to make sure we had a great table and an amazing experience, which really shows how much they care about their guests. Between the outstanding hospitality, delicious food, and top-notch service, Volare is a must-visit in Chicago. Chef’s kiss! 🍝🥂👏🇮🇹

We were seated right away, and the manager made sure our orders were taken and served right away. Our drinks were attended to, and food came out quickly. It was delicious and I plan to return.
