Volare Italian Restaurant

Pizza was absolutely amazing!! Great ingredients and the crust had a great chew to it. Fantastic service as well

Hidden gem alert!! My sister sent me a TikTok about this place. The restaurant is actually inside the abandoned Olmos Pharmacy building off McCullough!! I had no idea, I thought it was still a pharmacy. Very laid back and nice environment inside. I went for the lunch special and it did not disappoint! I got a side house salad, bread and butter, and huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs for under $13 after tax/before tip. Definitely a bang for your buck! About the same price as fast food these days! It was quick and delicious! The service was very attentive. I want to return for dinner to try some wine some day! The pasta was hot and delicious. Excited to come back with friends!

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant here in SA. I have been coming here for the past 6 years and have never been disappointed. Our waiters (Lotus and a man I forgot his name) were amazing. Never ran out of water in my glass, orders were quick to the table and they know how to make people feel special. The pasta alla Vodka with chicken was just perfectly cooked. The pizza is amazing too!

Nothing to write home about. Quaint place but very uncomfortable seating unless you are in a booth. Service was great. Food was good although the salad - for its price ($16) - could have been larger. It was just lettuce, a few Kalamata olives and sprinkled feta cheese. Pizza was cooked well, however a little too doughy for a Margherita. Don't think I'll go back.

The place was small and decor was nice . The menu was limited yet missing a lot of elements for an Italian restaurant.

Gotta try the pizzaBut the best surprise is the pear carpaccio salad. Delish. The inability feels like the old Pharmacy/Bharmacy. Gotta eat local. Gotta try the chicken parm

We came here during the recent freeze here in SA. I'm assuming it was due to the weather but the restaurant was pretty dead. We were the only ones in the restaurant around 2pm. First impressions were good! Our waitress was pretty friendly and the vibe of the place was nice. A little dark, but in a cool way!We ordered off the lunch menu and honestly, I think I should've just tried the pizza. I had heard from a few friends this was their favorite pizza but my wife and I thought the lunch specials looked really good! They were alright.The pasta was good, but it wasn't exceptional. The sauce was a little heavy and had more of an Alfredo taste. The spaghetti with the parm was ok, the sauce was pretty basic standard red sauce. The calzone was a little underwhelming. I enjoyed the crust but the stuffing lacked the flavor I was hoping for. The marinade they gave to dip was delicious though! Honestly the real highlight for us was the soft, fresh, warm bread and super garlicky butter.Overall it was ok. I look forward to trying the pizza next time!

Made dinner reservations here for two right before a theatrical show. The ambiance was quite cozy and comfy considering we had such cold weather that evening. I ordered the meat lover's lasagna and a Caesar salad - both were delicious!The staff were welcoming and pleasant.

Dark atmosphere with small lamps at each table and twinkling lights over the bar. Very intimate setting so if you need glasses and the flashlight on your phone to see menus this place may annoy you. I enjoyed the dark space and the duo playing some ballad cover songs. I came for dinner with friends and we LOVED it. I ordered the lobster ravioli and tiramisu. The sauce on the ravioli was tasty. The ravioli was fluffy and very stuffed with lobster! The tiramisu was airy and flavorful. We will definitely return for more!

I visited on 2/25, excited to try something new, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. From the moment I walked in, I felt I was treated differently compared to other customers. While everyone else received good service, my experience was noticeably worse. It made me feel uncomfortable, and I don't believe that's acceptable. Because of this, I won't be returning!
