" This is my go-to spot when I'm in Chicago! I love the vibrant atmosphere and the friendly service. The pastas are homemade and taste incredible. I order the Gnocchi al Pesto every time—it never disappoints! Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Desserts are a must-try; the cannoli is soooo delicious! Always happy after dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather disappointing visit to Volare recently. Although the place was buzzing, I found the food to be subpar. The ravioli lacked flavor, and the red sauce tasted like it came from a can. Our service was okay, but we felt ignored at times, particularly when we needed to ask for bread refills. The ambiance didn’t make up for the food, which was not what I expected based on the reviews. I doubt I'll return to this restaurant that seemed more interested in turnover than quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my third visit to Volare! As a true Italian, I can say this restaurant captures the essence of Italy with their menu. Every dish I've tried has been authentic and comforting. The fettuccine Alfredo is highly recommended, and you can taste the difference in the quality of cream and cheese they use. Service was friendly, though slightly slow during peak hours. Regardless, it remains a favorite for my family and me! Just make sure to make a reservation if you can. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Volare is always a cherished memory! The quality of food and service shines, more like a culinary experience than just a meal. Our server was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The flavors of dishes are stunning, with special mention of their seafood-based pasta, which is right at home in any Italian kitchen. I’m ready to visit again every time I leave. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my meal at Volare but was left a bit disappointed. While the ambiance and service were wonderful, I found my pizza undercooked and lacking in flavor. I'm all about authentic Italian, but this felt like a stretch. I may give it another shot for pasta, as that's where I've seen the most positive feedback. " (*Curated Review*)

" Volare has consistently been great on every visit. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the ambiance warm and inviting. We've celebrated numerous occasions here and it never disappoints. The seafood risotto is always a favorite, creamy and layered with rich flavors. Our server on this day was extremely attentive, ensuring we had everything we desired. Can't wait to return again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the overall ambiance of Volare. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. However, my meal didn’t completely meet my expectations. The chicken marsala was good, but I've had better. Still, I loved the tiramisu, which was a perfect end to the meal. I would recommend for the desserts alone! " (*Curated Review*)
