Oh my!!!! This food is so delicious!!!! We had a large group, 30 of us. The service was beyond amazing, waitress' were fantastic with the children, their meals were demolished. Adults food was so lovely, I would love to give more stars. If your thinking about this restaurant, do go, or you will be missing out. The decor is beautiful, atmosphere relaxed. The chef came to chat with us, staff are so friendly and engaging. I have seriously not been to a restaurant that is so welcoming. Such a delightful experience.

We celebrated our son’s first birthday at Volare and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — authentic Italian, full of flavour and served piping hot. Every dish tasted homemade with love. What really stood out though was the impeccable service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and went out of their way to make the celebration feel special. As a family with a little one, dining out can sometimes feel a bit stressful, but the team at Volare made everything feel relaxed and easy. They were so accommodating and thoughtful, which allowed us to really enjoy the moment. Thank you Volare for helping make our son’s birthday such a joyful and memorable occasion. We’ll definitely be back!

What a Fantastic find! I've been wanting to try this restaurant for ages, but live out of area,I found some time on Sunday evening. My friend and I were very happily surprised by the tapas and ate all the dishes up. I strongly recommend the prawns, calamari, potatas bravas and the cheese and ham board. The friendly staff helped with our choices and discussed meal ideas. We can't wait to come back again next time I'm in area. Keep up the good work.

Delicious and child friendly. Really good pizza, good coffee, and the chorizo in red wine made for a delicious starter. The service was quick, the staff were friendly and helpful - they cut up my pizza for me as I had my hands full with a wriggling baby, and they were smiley and friendly despite baby being excited and squeaky (sorry other diners). There were lots of other families there and I can see why. Would definitely go back

I have lived in this area for 4 years and with housemates have meant to go in there before, but we have only ordered pizza take away. We went in today and had dinner. Such a lovely vibe in the place and the staff are very nice. Whenever I have passed by, I have always seeb how busy they get...but now I get it. We had pizzas and pasta. All the food was great and very generous portions on the pasta. We could not leave without having tiramisu for dessert. For a drink we had sangria. Recommend all the food we tried. Hoping to be back sooner.
