    Our first time to this newer establishment. While the name of the place doesn't scream Italian it's…read moreexactly that. Be forewarned. This place I'm told told changes menus every day. Food it served family style and it's a total cost per person. We had a vegetarian in our group so we were allowed to order items ala carte and the were several vegetarian options which was nice Food was excellent and our server Ana was spot on perfect. The place is on the smaller side some would highly recommended reservations From where I was seated I could see the bar and the bartender looked very interactive and everyone at the bar were having a lot of fun Congratulations to Volpe's we will be back!

    We were excited to try Volpe's for the first time, but the evening ended with sticker shock. We…read morewere charged an extra $2 for "Rocks" on every drink that was served over ice. Charging customers extra simply for ice is something I've never encountered before, and it wasn't disclosed when ordering. Small surprise fees like this leave a poor impression and make guests question the final bill. Transparency goes a long way. UPDATE: After posting this review, Volpe's Hospitality Manager contacted me and stated that the restaurant does not charge for ice on mixed drinks and that the charges on our bill were an error by our server. Unfortunately, that explanation does not match what we were told at the restaurant. When I noticed the separate $2 "Rocks" charges and specifically questioned our server about them, she explained that while she could remove them, they were generally charged on liquor drinks served over ice. This wasn't an assumption on my part -- it was the explanation I was given when I asked about the charges. The bill also appeared consistent with that explanation. Both of my Bombay Sapphire drinks served over ice had separate $2 "Rocks" charges, while my Espresso Martini, which was not served over ice, did not. Both margaritas also had separate $2 modifiers. I appreciate management reaching out, but I'm troubled by the explanation that this was simply an isolated billing error because it directly conflicts with what we were told when we questioned the bill that evening. At minimum, there appears to be a significant disconnect between management's stated policy and what was being communicated and charged to customers. I'm updating my review to include this exchange so others can see the full context and make their own judgment.

    A group of us went recently to this little event. I went in with zero expectations, which makes…read morethings easier to enjoy. The plot was a bit confusing, but I feel the actors did a great job. Yes, they want you to laugh and have a good time. That's the point! And yes, if you need a hard drink, you'll have to go to the hotel bar to get one. The food, well it needs serious work. But again, I did not come for the food. I came to have fun with my friends and enjoy a unique experience. And that is exactly what I got. I would recommend this show. I am even considering going back to see if I can play a bit part. Very interactive and engaging! For entertaining purposes five stars! My only warning is be careful who you sit next to as they be the killer!

    It was hard to find much to like about The Dinner Detective experience. The actors and servers were…read moreall very nice and lovely people, but my goodness, the whole production was long and boring and the entire narrative of the murder mystery story was disjointed and made no sense -- and that was true even if you could hear what was being said, which was very difficult. The actors should have mics!! And the food wasn't much better. The tortilla chips that were on the table for an appetizer were stale, and the entrees were mediocre, which all would have been fine if the performance we were there to see was fun. We were a group of 8 and so spent quite a bit of money. It ended up not being worth the money, so we left after the 2nd act.

    I have been to other Dinner and Show's. But this one was my favorite over all the other ones I…read morehave seen. The acrobatics they did were really good. The seals and dogs portions were cute as well. The food was actually pretty good. But I do prefer the ability of using eating utensils instead of my bare hands! . But they do give you a nice wet heated towel at the end to clean up with. I am a pretty good guy when it comes to acting foolish. My son is an Eagle Scout and I was an Adult Scout Leader for almost 20 years. So I am used to performing for children. There was a small girl, about 3 years old, sitting next to me in her mother's lap. Every time I would wave my flag and cheer she would stare at me. So I started talking to her in my best "grand father voice." Got her to smile and start waving her hand in the air when everyone else was cheering. Her momma smiled at me for making her little girl happy. Funny how that was one of my favorite moments of the show.

So after carrying her across a couple football field lengths of parking lots the people at the door were extremely rude and told us we could not come in with her seat. After paying the amount we did for a KIDS show we were turned away with no refund and were told we had to pay for a dinner for a 5 month old that cannot even eat that food. I will never come back to this overpriced dinner show again, save your money and do something else with your kids. If you have kids that are young don't even waste your time.
