What Chloe Chan doesn't like about Volare:
Everything I had at Volare was really average. The atmosphere feels kind of homey, it's a small place with lots of paintings on the walls and a bar. The risotto was a bit too cheesy, the calamari was average. The squid ink pasta was the best dish we ordered and even that was not memorable.Food: 2/5 View all feedback.

They also make a really good martini. I would... View all feedback.

The best Italian restaurant in Chicago. The Kalamari are absolutely divine! We also loved the filled aubergines parmesano and the sea bass. Very recommended!
