Volare Ristorante Italiano in South Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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 .

Comfortable & friendly atmosphere. Food, service & price all make a very well run relaxing experience.

Nicegreat food great staff very friendly place well worth a visit

Great restaurant, great prices very friendly service, and the food.…. The food was amazingly fresh, tasty just perfect, would highly recommend ❤️

Super restaurant. Family friendly. Great service and staff were kind, polite and attentive. Food was amazing and great value for money. Would definitely recommend ☺

Service is amazing here! Everyone is so friendly, wasn’t sure on what to expect with the reviews being mixed but the food was really nice, I struggle to find an Italians who do a nice spaghetti bolognaise, both me and the husband enjoyed our food, also reasonably priced , I would return here again :)

Stunning food and lovely service

Lovely food and fab service, we for restaurant week £20 for 3 course it was beautiful. Second visit and excited for the next one already!

Great place, excellent meal, really helpful waitress.

We went for Sunday lunch. Delicious meal served by a very friendly waitress, who could not do enough to ensure you left feeling happy and wanting to book again.

First time dining here but not the last. Atmosphere, staff, food were all spot on. Highly recommended.

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

This is a fantastic restaurant that I am lucky to live nearby to and have been many times with my wife. The food is great and the service is absolutely amazing. The waiting staff are always so nice and friendly and always professional. Plenty of choice on the menu and excellent value.

This is a fantastic restaurant that I am lucky to live nearby to. The food is lovely and the service is impeccable. The female waitress is absolutely brilliant 👏

A lovely authentic Italian restaurant with good food and friendly service.

Always good food and friendly service. We go often with family, including my 6 year. She loves it in there and is always made to feel special. Food is delicious, seafood risotto and the specials are 5*. Would recommend!

Excellent food as usual, just moved to East Boldon and this is a favourite already

Fantastic food lovely place definitely be going back

Not sure what is going on here not as good as it used to be. Staff were abrupt and left us waiting ages to be served. Not as good as it used to be.

First visit and it will not be my last. Authentic and delicious food. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back. Lovely little jewel in East Boldon

Food was superb, and the service just as good. Will deffo be back on a more regular basis

Wow. Delicious food, if you like a good sharing starter, go for the doughballs! Delicious and you get a platterfull!

Food, service and price were great

Visited for an early tea before going to the nearby cinema. Food was really nice and the staff were even better. Will defintely be returning.

Out with friends, lovely friendly restaurant, staff great

First time visiting this quaint little spot in East Boldon. Our hostess Louisa looked after us beautifully all evening, service with a smile. The food was tremendous and full of flavour. The menu was varied but not overly complicated. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back. Excellent.

Food was delicious, staff were friendly and made sure we were happy. Would recommend!

Fantastic restaurant, lovely food, great staff. Parking isn't great

Just had the BEST gluten free Bolognese pitza I have ever tasted!! The base was ultra thin and crisp but not hard and the topping was delicious and didn’t slide off unlike some toppings on gf Pitza’s do. Would highly recommend a visit to Volare😋 Staff very friendly and not at all pushy.

The BEST gluten free pitza I’ve ever tasted!! Perfectly cooked and super thin - perfect 😋

Un staff excelent, cu preparate specială din bucătăria restaurantului jos pălăria Prea perfect!!!

It is amazing, the food has the same test as the one back home, amazing service and great prices.

Food was authentic and delicious. Staff were very friendly and efficient who made the children feel very welcome and went out their way to cater to our child with multiple allergies.

The staff are so welcoming. Food is of a high standard. We always have a lovely evening and enjoy visiting once a month, never to be disappointed. They cater for families really well and our 3 year old equally enjoys it!

Went for Sunday lunch......beautiful, no surcharge for lamb . Was recommended, and I would recommend 👌

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!

Superb from start to finish . The food was amazing as was the staff they were brilliant really nice and smart . The restaurant looks very classy will go again for sure.

We had a great experience at Volare on a busy Saturday night. We sat upstairs and were well attended to by the lovely Livio and another waitress whose name I did not get. The food was delicious as we tried recommendations from Livio. The meal was very reasonable priced with large portions. Excellent friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!

Have visited several times now and the food is delicious. The staff are very courteous and attentive. Lovely little restaurant.

Lovely local restaurant always delivers delicious Italian food

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.

Always Really lovely Food with very friendly staff

Ordered pizza and chips for my house bound mother for 17 40pm, they confirmed a delivery time for 17 50pm, by 18 20pm it still had not arrived, i asked for text update. Text said 18 25pm. By 18 35 pm, it still had not arrived. Phoned volare, to be told driver would be 2 minutes. Nearly 15 minutes later, still had not arrived, phoned volare back to tell him not to bother delivering it.

Excellent visit for a birthday dinner. We had a 4 year old with us and the staff were excellent with her. Menu is really wide ranging and I'll be back to sample some of the different dishes. 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

Fab dining experience, cosy ambience, amazing service, varied menu, lovely Pinot Grigio, nothing was too much bother, we all loved our choices and I had probably the best pizza I’ve had in a long time! Very authentic! Compliments to the chef and staff 😊

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

Sadly Tripadvisor wont allow me to give a "0" out of 5 rating, so begrudgingly I've awarded a "1" star rating. Xmas Day lunch, what an absolute shambles!! We prebooked and paid a deposit late Autumn. Sadly we lost Dad the week before Xmas. We...

An excellent intimate atmosphere, wonderful food and kindly staff. Thank you.

Pizza was cold and stale and chips were very undercooked , won’t be ordering from here again

When I arrived, I was told that a 'party' booking (6 of us) would be catered for upstairs. That was not mentioned at the time I booked the table in October . The room had no ambiance and was cold enough for us to remain...

Very enjoyable evening spent with friends , food lovely ,was quiet due to football being on I'm guessing but that made it more enjoyable, 1st timers but will be back

Fantastic staff, lovely food, great little local restaurant.

Food was fantastic, great service. Very limited parking, so I'd advise not taking your own car.

We booked Volare for a large party for after my sons christening. The gentleman who helped us could not have done more for us! Nothing was a problem and everything was done with a smile, we were truly looked after. We had never been to...

A joint 70th birthday and first family outing since the pandemic turned out to be an absolute nightmare at Volare restaurant in East Boldon. I'm only pleased that they don't run a brewery as it took 45 minutes for a waiter to take our order...

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.

Beautiful meal. Starters were huge and I worried we had over ordered but when the mains came they were the perfect portion size, beautifully presented and very tasty.

A lovely relaxing place to eat and chat. The staff are excellent. I can recommend the affagato for dessert.

Just had a lovely family meal at Volare, staff were all lovely and food was great 😊

Lovely Sunday lunch. Friendly and attentive staff.

Great little restaurant, good hosts, fantastic menu & the food is quality. Well worth a visit & thoroughly recommended. I will be visiting again next time I’m in the area

The atmosphere and the staff are absolutely excellent. The food was first rate and our party of eight enjoyed every dish. We will certainly return regularly to Volare.

Starter waspoor.main course excellent!!!staff were excellent and we enjoyed the evening.l gave a 20 percent tip and that says it all.will definitely be back

Real restaurant quality food. Excellent value for money.

Went for Sunday dinner on mother's day, could not fault it, choice of 2 course or 3 course meals, good value for money

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.

Wonderful place with great atmosphere and decor. Superb food and service. Very pleasant staff who enjoy making your visit feel like a proper Italian experience.

Very disappointing. We booked a table and they were too busy to cope. So it took 1hr10mins before we had our starter. Food was warm not hot. We were sat by the door so we're frozen. No apology despite the staff knowing how unhappy we were.

We visited on Friday night for a quick pre cinema meal and have to say it was the best Italian meal we have had in a very long time. Our meal included excellent fagioli, carbonara and very fresh prawns. We will try the specials next...

We did not want to go far on New Years Eve and Volare managed to squeeze us in and as usual we had a fantastic meal, fish soup was exceptional and steaks were cooked to perfection, can't fault our fantastic little Italian restaurant on our...

Food great, but toilets was disgraceful

We went to this restaurant on a busy Saturday night, and unfortunately our experience wasn’t great. We had a long wait for our food, which was slightly bland when it arrived. There was 2 large tables in the restaurant who were very loud therefore we...

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.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! The food was great with really good portion sizes. We’re actually thinking of eating at the restaurant at some point because we were so impressed!

Soggy pizza which just collapsed as soon as I picked it up 1 piece of ham on it. Will never order again

10/10. Proper italian pizzas. No greasy rubbish. Will be using again!

Just had an absolutely lovely meal at volare east boldon,I had gamberoni with a beautiful tomato and red onion salad, Husband had lamb so tasty, Service was fantastic,Enzo so helpful and friendly ,be back soon,great value .

Took our youngest daughter and her friend who had never been before, her friend loved it, especially the dough balls! The pasta and pizza were cooked to perfection yet again, the wine was perfectly chilled, we really can't fault out lovely friendly Italian restaurant!

The good: the staff were helpful, most of the dishes we were served were very nice, we were given free Sambucca at the end of our meal. The prices are decent. The bad: we waited 90 minutes for our starter then a further 60 minutes...

Visited this restaurant last night with Family and friends to celebrate my Brother & Sister in laws Ruby wedding anniversary. What a complete shambles this restaurant is! The only saving Grace was our waitress a blonde haired lady. The service was slow and several members...

Great atmosphere abd customer service 👌

Recently refurbished and has a lovely atmosphere. The staff were lovely as was the food. Had lobster ravioli with king prawns - amazing. Others had bolognese, lasagne and pizza and everyone enjoyed their meal. Only criticism is the long wait, They were apparently short staffed....

A wonderfull place to eat warm friendly service and great food thoughorliy recommend it

13 mins after approved time for collection.

This was our first visit to Volare and we will certainly be returning. Excellent food and service.

Today was our first visit and won't be our last! The service was friendly and nothing was too much trouble when accommodating the needs of our 3 children. The food was delicious and portions were generous.

Lovely food as a take out can't wait till I have a meal in the restaurant.

Nice little Italian with a good happy hour menu. Friendly staff too.

Fine dining with great service. Both starters and mains were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Thank you we will be back

Food was fantastic. Staff were really friendly and attentive Only 4 stars as we waited ages for our mains Apart from that it was really good Will definitely be returning.

The food was absolutely outstanding Ordered a few times from here and the food has always been fantastic

Tad disappointed if I’m honest! Ordered 2 lasagnas, they weren’t anything special & Portions were quite small. Very tomatoey & not a lot of meat. Had better home made lasagnas in pubs - sorry probably wouldn’t return 😐

Visited this evening for the first time and absolutely lovely, we all had exquisite meals and the starters were big !! Lovely wine and coffee to finish. The staff were very friendly and will be definitely be back !

Really delicious food .will order again

Food was lovely, will be ordering again in future

Restaurant quality food, absolutely excellent, reasonable prices, very highly recommend!!
