The food was good, but it was a bit too salty. Good value for the quality of food, and service was expedient.

Absolutely had a marvelous time with my daughter! The food, esp the mahi mahi tacos, were delicious! Our server, was so nice and patient. I’m sorry I’m not able to spell his name. We ate at 10 pm in the room with swings! So much fun! 🤗

Volare is always a wonderful experience. Everything on the menu is delicious. I know it’s an Italian restaurant, but I think they have the best ribeye in town. Seriously! Try it! Parking can be tough but they do have valet parking if you don’t feel figuring that out. It’s a small tight neighborhood with a lot of cars. Don’t let the parking stop you. You will love it!

Our second visit to Repeal, but first time in the dining room. Our server, Andre, was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining the menu offerings to us. The house bread was amazing as always. The buccatini was even better the second time around. Ordered it as a side to our Filet’s. Everything was excellent and we will return!
