If you are in the mood for some great Italian food and want to get away from all the touristy restaurants, go to Volare .Incredible food. Great atmosphere. Courtyard dining. As most Italian restaurants serve way too much food, Volare offers half portions, which is great. We started with the mussels. Caesar salad. The GMs Father sat next to us... More

Stopped for drink because they were rated fairly high. Didn't eat but saw numerous cooks eating in their open kitchen, hats on sideways, backwards, you name it. Also leaning over on counter, just not what I expected. Decided to eat elsewhere..bartender very friendly & knowledgable though!

I have eaten at this restaurant several times over the last few years while on business, and I have never been disappointed by this dining experience. The service is outstanding, and the menu offers a large range of appetizers, salads, pastas, seafood and meat selections. On a recent visit in April, I met a coworker for a 7 pm dinner... More

This place has become the one place we always have to go to when visiting Chicago. Our trips wouldn't be the same if we didn't eat here. The amount of food you get for your dollar is unreal and the food has always been the best. But the best is how we have always been treated by the waitstaff and... More

I didn't even know Volare existing until a friend took me there. Great southern Italian food. Very nice sized portions. Friendly staff. Good value. If you're looking for Italian food near North Michigan Avenue, this is definitely a place to go.

Wonderful Italian food, have eaten here for over 10 years on my visits to Chicago and always look forward to at least one meal here. This time with three couples, all had something different and all were great. Have expanded the reataurant seating since I was here a year ago. The outside dining, in warmer weather, has always been enjoyable... More

We took a flyer on this restaurant and while it is good Italian, it is not much else. The place was busy but everyone was packed in like sardines. The decor is just so so. it feels a bit like a cafeteria. Our food was fresh and tasty but nothing special from a presentation standpoint. The place was simply okay.... More

Had a business dinner at Volare in Chicago with a colleague. It was an AWESOME dinner! I travel all over the country (was here directly from Seattle, WA) and I have to tell you that the meal here was incredible. We both had the Sea Bass and it was prepared perfectly and was phenomenal. The restaurant staff was friendly and... More
