Been here twice within the last month and had a great experience both times. The first time was with friends and then took family from out of town this past weekend. It was a hit. Great atmosphere with fantastic food, signature holiday drinks, and good service...everything you want!

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!

My favorite Louisville restaurant. We had taken my Mom to the original location a few times. This was our first time to visit the new location. We live in Lexington but were in the neighborhood to see a band at The Whirling Tiger. Try those unique plantain chips with a few salsas and guacamole and queso.
