    Volare!

    I was there at the end of October, 2008. Service was great and the food was exceptional. Absolutely the best eggplant parmegian I have ever had. You can actually taste and sense the eggplant! Most cooks overwhelm the whole thing with powerful sauces. This was spicy and tasty but not overwhelming to the point that it was the whole experience. Penne Arabbiata was also exceptional and the portions are more than enough for a 200 lb man. Saw Angus and Malcolm Young eating lunch there when I was there... they also seemed to be enjoying their meals quite a bit, though I didn't ask them if they would endorse the place. My guess is they would.. In downtown Chicago, you can eat at Volare, CND Gyro and Mary's Cafe, all next to each other... and have some of the best meals at the best prices without having to wander all over the place! Take it from a guy who loves to eat and has eaten thousands and thousands of meals in his life... this is great food! I would compare it to restaurants on The Hill in St Louis.

    Reservations don't matter!

    My boyfriend and I went to Volare for our anniversary last week. Due to it being a Friday night, we made reservations for 7:30. We got there and quite honestly, the hostess was rude. She told us to sit at the bar and that our table would be ready in about 5 minutes! HA! Literally, an hour later, we were finally seated (and this was after checking in every 20 minutes or so) - what's the point of making a reservation?? To add salt to our wounds, we were sat at a table right next to the crowded bar and right next to the very narrow aisle that all of the waitstaff have to go through with the food! Bottom line, it was loud and uncomfortable and if we made a point to make reservations, we should have been sat in the dining room (we didn't just walk right in). Normally, we're not seat snobs, but had we known what the bar table would have been like, we would have said something right away. Now, on to the food and our waiter, Jesus - He was AWESOME! And the food was AWESOME! But if we ever go back, it's definitely during the week or during their non-busier times.

    Friendly Staff Needed

    I went on a Saturday night 2 weeks ago. The hostess was rude. Even though we had a reservation we had to wait 1/2 hour. I didn't mind but the hostess could have been more friendly. Isn't the service industry all about customer service?

    Best Carryout

    We've been ordering Volare for carryout since it opened and they've haven't screwed up once, which is remarkable compared to everywhere else. Their soups are consistently great and various. I' m a fan of chicken parmesan and their's is the best.
