(<b><i>Voice-Tribune</i>, May 31, 2007</b>)
It's hard to believe that Volare has been around for only three years.
In those short years, this classy Italian dining room has shed its original Chicago-based connection; brought in the savvy Majid Ghavami as general manager, and hung on to Chef Dallas McGarrity, who cooks Italian as if he had a vowel on the end of his name (and hey, he does!)
With a recent expansion increasing the seating area and kitchen, there's more of Volare to love than ever. It's a personal favorite, my No. 1 choice among Louisville's Italian restaurants for food, mood and service.
It's not the most expensive restaurant in town, but appropriately pricey, with main courses ranging from $18 to $32, and pasta dinners from $17 to $21.
Here's a canny option: Next time you're in a Volare mood but watching your budget, treat yourself to Volare's indulgent Sunday brunch.
