Really lovely family-run Italian restaurant. Recently expanded into the former charity shop next door to create a modern, stylish space. My bresaola & rucola starter, and veal escalopes in a butter sauce, were both excellent. The food was sensibly priced but the wine (also excellent) was maybe slightly expensive. A really enjoyable experience, highly recommended.
Amazing food. Extremely busy on a Monday night and the six of us had to wait a bit before our table was ready. Because it is so popular the noise level is tremendous however the food and service were good. There is a great vibe to the place.
Table of 12 for a birthday. Very busy when we arrived, this however did not affect the service. Very good service from all waitresses, lots of staff working and very easy to get a servers attention which I think is important. Food very good, all of our group of 12 were very complimentary of the food. Restaurant allowed us to bring our own birthday cake for happy birthday. And even sliced this up and served this to us, which was much appreciated. Couldn’t find any fault, fantastic night. Thank you to all the team
We have came to Southport today with wife and baby took a walk and decided to eat somewhere as it turned out we found restaurant Volare !!! We were stunned as 2 years ago we have meet in Volare in Rome!!! When arrived we were welcomed by owner at the doors decorated and smell of food from kitchen together with music has made us feel like stepping back in time. After spending some time sharing experience with owner we had ordered food menu was great authentic Italian food made by family from generations!!! Bruschetta Romana simple but best !!! So tasty and fresh The seasonal menu wild mushrooms risotto served in pumpkin was best I tried and that comes from 12 years experience chef !!! We also tried Amatriciana and had some house wine that together completed the day !!! We felt like back in Italy!!! Definitely will be visiting often now what a gem !!! Thank you for today and keep going Well done See you soon Marcin, Marina and Liliana
We had a brilliant night here we had the fish of the day and it was cooked to perfection, the atmosphere and friendly staff helped to make it a very enjoyable night for me and my wife.
Recommended to us by a local. Booking is advised but we were very fortunate a table became available as we debated where to go whilst we waited for our time slot as we hadn't booked. The staff are welcoming & efficient. The food was stunning , we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great variety of choices for everyone and prices are reasonable.
Loved the place!!!! Superb food! Amazing vibe, great service! I ordered salamon pasta and it was beautifuly presented and tasted amazing! Polite and helpful staff. Nice decor , open kitchen, very inviting Some nice looking chefs
We pre-booked Volare for a Saturday lunch, great to be able to park pretty much outside (pay and display). Very much liked the friendly atmosphere, staff were welcoming, attentive and polite. We had people in our party who eat a plant based diet and the menu catered for their needs too. The food was flavourful, nicely sized portions and we didn't have to wait too long for each course. Very much looking forward to going back in the near future
