Volare Ristorante - Toronto, Ontario

We celebrated our anniversary at Volare Ristorante this year. Perhaps because it was just after Family Day, the restaurant was quite empty. We enjoyed a four-course dinner. My husband ordered a beer I've never seen before, and he was really enjoying it. The food was delicious, but I think it might be a ... bit on the smaller side. Both the veal and fettuccine were delicious, and the appetizers, seafood crepe and escargot, were also tasty. If you go to Italian restaurants, it has to be tiramisu, right? We chose cheesecake and tiramisu, and both were delicious. The cheesecake was about three times more than Tiramisu but I liked Tiramisu more! It was so delicious. It's a small, cozy restaurant and atmosphere is really nice. By the window, there's a cheap supermarket, No Frills, right in front. They had it covered with shades, but the atmosphere could feel a bit disappointing if you're sitting there during summer on the patio. Read more

The day I went here it was completely empty, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves (to be fair it was a Wednesday night 1.5h before closing). However, this had me questioning how good the food would be (they didn't fail to prove me dead wrong real soon) We were ... greeted by a lovely hostess, she was absolutely amazing!! After some wine the food started rolling in. I got a Groupon deal for a 4 course meal (see the photos for the menu). The bruschetta was good! Nothing too crazy but a nice staple. However the appetizers had me reckoning all my previous thoughts. I had the seafood crepe and my guest had the cease salad. Both were absolutely amazing!!! I was taken aback by how flavourful the food was. Next the mains had me on the floor. If a piece fell on the floor I would of been licking it up. We got the fettuccine and basa, both were made to absolute perfection! I honestly do not know how this restaurant was empty, it should have lines out the door!!! Definitely coming back, this spot is a GEM! Read more

Lovely atmosphere. We dined early in the evening ahead of the crowd. The salmon and mushroom fettuccini was creamy and delicately flavoured. Thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

The food is absolutely amazing and th service even better, the atmosphere is quite, a nice place to take first date and look good. You can really tell they put the effort into their cooking and take pride in it. The service was spectacular.

Well, when you enter the restaurant it give you classic Italian vibes, a cozy setting with soft music. We had their 3+1 course menu, the food was really well cooked and we had a nice time. I was a bit confused about why half the bruschetta came without tomatoes, but ... it was super fresh! The seafood medleys (in a crepe) I think was the highlight of the night, subtle flavours and delicately cooked to perfection. The pasta was lovely but could have been a bit less tomato and a bit more cream. The chicken on the other hand was amazingly cooked and I totally loved it! Dessert was pleasant. But I'd definitely go back just to try more of this classical Italian food! Read more
