Eveng with grandkids. Great food and lovely staff. Great for a nice meal that will not break the bank. Excellent pastas, pizza's. Highly recommended the gamberoni & calamari antipasti

We have been for our lunch today and are very disappointed. We were sat upstairs and we were all freezing as they had no heating. We had three Calzone pizza’s which were under cooked and under filled with mainly onion's, one of us had spinach and ricotta which was also unpleasant. I complained and was given a 20% discount, which reduced my bill to £70. This is not good value for money and a very disappointing meal had by all. Avoid !!!!

From the first moment when I stepped into the restaurant, I was deeply impressed by the atmosphere in the room, and the friendly and kind staff, the divine food, I felt exactly like in Italy, the chef Zia was excellent, although I had some special requirements, the menu was delivered exactly as I wanted it for both myself and my children. RECOMMEND WITH CONFIDENCE. Unfortunately I can't give more stars, if it were up to me, I would give 10+.

Just been to Volare and I do not recommend. The waiters were very rude — giving us dirty looks and getting angry at us for asking for a glass of water that she had forgotten to bring to the table. The food took a while to come and wasn’t as nice as I’d hoped. Overall, I won’t be back any time soon.

Nice little authentic Italian restaurant the staff were very friendly. We had Gamberoni al Aglio it was nice but lacked flavour and finesse, my pasta dish was amazing and my partners pizza fabulous a nice relaxing night. One thing I thought the toilets could have done with a thorough scrub all round and the taps not very clean .

I will start with the positives, the pinot grigio, 8.50 for a 250ml glass., was nice. The free tiramisu was nice. The place was icy cold. The food was disappointing. Potato skins ok, partners garlic bread was oily, cold and under cooked. We waited ages for our main courses which you dont mind for nice, freshly cooked food, however a cold undercooked calzone and kiev pizza arrived followed by rosemary chicken that was tasteless and lacked sauce. Lots of takeaways being collected, clearly the main focus. Give this place a wide berth

We have eaten here since it opened on a regular basis, as a couple, with friends and with many members of our family. You will NOT get value like this , in my honest opinion, anywhere. Literally nothing is too much trouble, the staff are all professional, courteous, friendly and just nice people. I would recommend most things on the menu but the sharing tomato garlic bread followed my Filet Rossini, finishing with Tiramisu all washed down with a lovely well kept Morettii and a bottle of Merlot. Highly recommended, try for yourself!

Food nice as always (well so far so good) but took a while, unfortunately put upstairs and we were the only table up there, despite booking weeks in advance. So no atmosphere and just felt strange, as if we had just been shoved out the way. More importantly I just seen the hygiene rating of 1 ! If I'd seen this before our visit, certainly wouldn't have gone! So for these reasons, more importantly our safety, we won't be back, which is a shame because we have been many times in the past.

Food served hot and promptly and very tasty at that. I had the Mussels in tomato, chilli and garlic sauce and spaghetti with aubergines, cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.

Second visit since last October and sorry to say it was virtually the same experience. We were seated on THE worst table…I can’t believe you put clients there …upstairs far corner with chairs all at differing heights , hardly any cushioning and practically falling apart! Aside from this it was almost an hour and half to our main course….staff were run off their feet….at times no staff upstairs , drinks order forgotten and hangry kids waiting for food. On the positive side, I have to say the girl who seated us / cleared plates was lovely, waiters were also very friendly, food was hot and pleasant when it came. Please please stop taking so many bookings as you are spoiling the experience….also you cannot seat clients at that awful table and expect them to be happy at paying an £80 bill for a shoddy table and slow food. We won’t be back

Absolutely disgusting. We ordered food to take away from this restaurant and were beyond disgusted to find MULTIPLE not just one but multiple hairs in and amongst our food. I immediately drove back to the establishment and handed them the food back, the waiter was very polite however the owner was beyond rude. He couldn’t bring himself to apologise to me (probably embarrassed as there were other poor people in the restaurant). Handed me my money back and ushered me out the door. I later discovered that this establishment has only been scored a THREE on food safety which is only generally satisfactory. They ought to be re reviewed for hygiene. I would avoid this place like the plague

Me and my partner went for a meal here tonight, or Atleast we hoped. We booked a table for half 7 and didn’t get seated for 15 minutes. When we were finally seated the waiter waved us over to the table? Very blunt. We got our drinks and ordered our meal and 45 minutes later, still no starter. We were pretty much ignored by the staff and as soon as I asked them if we can pay for the drinks and leave they weren’t apologetic and didn’t care we had a bad experience. To be honest it was probably for the best. Oh and also I asked for a Diet Coke which was like water it was that flat, they buy bottles of pop and do it that way.

I liked that we could park outside albeit on the main road. The service was good with friendly but not overbearing staff. The food was very good and served piping hot. The actual restaurant is quite spacious so we were not sat shoulder to shoulder as in some restaurants. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that the evening we were there the place felt a little cool. There were 9 of us and by the time we had eaten we were feeling shivery. Apart from that I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Was out first visit and we were so bitterly disappointed it will be our last! So very busy they couldn't handle the demand. Staff all seemed nice but pushed to their limits due the amount of customers. It was 100% capacity and we had to wait in the stairwell for our table to be vacated and reset. Waited 2 hours for our main course. It was so noisy with very harsh lighting not what we expected at all compared to the pictures on Google, we were looking for a quite little romantic place and this certainly isn't that.
