On Google Map, you could see Volare is situated on a street crossing with Magnificient Miles. Well, if you see from above. In reality, you have to walk down 1 level to get to Grant St. The atmosphere here is a big difference from the busy and touristy street above. And if I didn't know about or tried to find the restaurant, I didn't think I would go in there at all. I was definitely glad I did though.
Here is the unassuming but great Italian restaurant
Homey but charming interior
The street as seen from our table. I wanted to take photo of falling snow, but my camera is not good enough, or was that my bad skill?
Delicious food obviously aside, what I remember about Volare is its great service. The staff who waited on our table was charming and not pushy. A fun memory was that he asked Tracy and I if we could finish what we had ordered. I mean, that was the first time some waiter asked me that question. It was always the opposite, aka "would you like anything else?". And being too hungry at the time, Tracy and I said of course. Well, we realized why the staff had asked afterward. But we were still happy to stuff ourselves as the food was super duper delicious. I really want to eat their pasta again. When will I have the chance to go back to Chicago?
Yummy bread for appetizer (one of the best bread appetizer I have ever tasted)
The plate looked ugly but it was the food that counted
Compulsory Italian dessert - Tiramisu
Of course, a must-have photo, aka me and the food
