    Chicken Parmesan
    Tia J.

    Yum! A nice hidden gem. Parking is a mess but it stops there. The server was friendly and offered suggestions. The food was fresh and delicious. It tastes authentic. I will come back.

    Happy Hour Fried Ravioli
    Vanessa C.

    Came out for happy hour and what a treat! The beer was $3 off and there were appetizer specials. Everything was on happy hour except the calamari and the pizza. All were delicious. Unfortunately the bread that came out with the meatballs was burned. But we had so much food it was fine. The service was great. Alex was our server and he was amazing. It was pretty empty when we got there at 5 but the dinner crowd definitely showed up. I would definitely recommend!

    Been going to the original Broadway location for several years before they moved to Olmos with never any issues--always great pizza for takeout . We decided to try dining at the Olmos location tonight. The positive: pizza--a must. Crust is amazing and really great flavor and the Large was more than enough for two of us. The atmosphere is nice and warm and relaxed. The cons: the worst calamari we have ever had. Sooo rubbery--not made to order and definitely frozen. The staff--the manager (on his phone sitting at the bar) and four staff members sitting around him chatting and never anyone checking to see how our appetizer was. We waited for several more minutes with empty glasses to finally have someone come up and ask us if we wanted refills before we received our pizza. As mentioned, pizza was great, but again, no one checked on us throughout the course of us eating that. Finally, our server came up and started taking our silverware as I still had pizza on my plate. I told her that I wasn't done and she proceeded to place the fork that she touched back o to my plate. I immediately told her that I did not want the same fork and that we were still eating. After a couple minutes, we decided we just wanted to leave and asked for the check and the same server came by to slam the check down on our pizza box. I am appalled by the service and seeing most of the staff hanging out at the bar drinking coffee and not tending to guests. We will never eat dine-in here again! Too many untrained servers and a manager that obviously doesn't care about anything. I always prefer local neighborhood restaurants, but this one got it all wrong this evening.

    Hidden gem alert!! My sister sent me a TikTok about this place. The restaurant is actually inside the abandoned Olmos Pharmacy building off McCullough!! I had no idea, I thought it was still a pharmacy. Very laid back and nice environment inside. I went for the lunch special and it did not disappoint! I got a side house salad, bread and butter, and huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs for under $13 after tax/before tip. Definitely a bang for your buck! About the same price as fast food these days! It was quick and delicious! The service was very attentive. I want to return for dinner to try some wine some day! The pasta was hot and delicious. Excited to come back with friends!

    Rigatoni alla vodka
    Justin C.

    I ordered the Rigatoni alla Vodka, and it was absolutely amazing. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the rigatoni was cooked to perfection. The portion size was also incredibly generous, so I definitely didn't leave hungry!

    My half of the check.

    Nothing to write home about. Quaint place but very uncomfortable seating unless you are in a booth. Service was great. Food was good although the salad - for its price ($16) - could have been larger. It was just lettuce, a few Kalamata olives and sprinkled feta cheese. Pizza was cooked well, however a little too doughy for a Margherita. Don't think I'll go back.

    Rigatoni all vodka
    Jordan S.

    My absolute favorite Italian restaurant here in SA. I have been coming here for the past 6 years and have never been disappointed. Our waiters (Lotus and a man I forgot his name) were amazing. Never ran out of water in my glass, orders were quick to the table and they know how to make people feel special. The pasta alla Vodka with chicken was just perfectly cooked. The pizza is amazing too!

    Pepperoni and Salami New York style Pizza, Rigatoni à la vodka

    I placed an ahead of time order here for pick up and it was the best decision made today. The pizza was fantastic with beautifully textured crust, and amazing pepperoni and salami. The rigatoni à la vodka was perfect. I placed the order for 8:17pm, arrived at 8:15pm and I was greeted with friendly faces, and my food shortly after. 10/10

    Small Caesar Salad
    Emily A.

    Made dinner reservations here for two right before a theatrical show. The ambiance was quite cozy and comfy considering we had such cold weather that evening. I ordered the meat lover's lasagna and a Caesar salad - both were delicious! The staff were welcoming and pleasant.

    First time trying this place out on a Saturday Night! Family orientated place!! Love the ambiance and love the live music from the different bands! Will be back!

    Spaghetti e Polpette
    Jesus C.

    Came by for lunch and was very pleased with the great food. We had spaghetti and meatballs and a calzone. The food came out quick and was hot and tasty. The location seems small but there are lots of places to sit. The staff was friendly and fast. I'd like to come back soon.

    Large Caesar Salad
    Erica V.

    Great lunch menu and delicious pizza, thin crust was so delicious and the garlic butter is a must...Caesar salad was generous but a bit sweet for our taste, nothing to lose stars over since the ambience is soft lighting and great service and energy...place was super clean also

    Lobster stuffed Ravioli in vodka sauce
    Myrna U.

    Dark atmosphere with small lamps at each table and twinkling lights over the bar. Very intimate setting so if you need glasses and the flashlight on your phone to see menus this place may annoy you. I enjoyed the dark space and the duo playing some ballad cover songs. I came for dinner with friends and we LOVED it. I ordered the lobster ravioli and tiramisu. The sauce on the ravioli was tasty. The ravioli was fluffy and very stuffed with lobster! The tiramisu was airy and flavorful. We will definitely return for more!

    Super thin slices of chicken breast. They are taking one breast and making 10 outta 1. Bland sauce and over cooked noodles.

    Do they offer gluten free pasta?

    Has Volare stopped taking to go orders? I can't order online and no one ever answers anymore.

    I do not know. I have not been there in quite a while. The quality of food declined so I am no longer a customer. I do know they are closed on Mondays.

When I came up to the place it wasn't a sit down place to eat, but that you have to order which was confusing as there were a lot of other restaurants within the small space. There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I. The space provided because they don't give you anything but what you order no napkin just nothing else. Enjoy and hope the you didn't forget to order anything special or extra as you won't get it.

It's a multi-restaurant location but no one actually works the front desk or door. So you basically have to order your food online and they deliver it to a locker where you pick it up. Very strange. And made it pretty much impossible to get any thing extra like napkins, a fork, or whatever you might need for a meal. Good food... But definitely not recommended if you're looking for something as a sitdown place

The Lighthouse Seafood is located in the Springwood shopping center which apparently has relocated here now and can be found off Fredericksburg Road. The inside is just big enough to accommodate groups of 4s and was nearly full for a Friday night as people came, ate, left and then replaced by a new bunch soon after. Turnovers are quick as the local guests mean business when it comes to chowing down some seafood. Both wifey and I ordered the fish and shrimp and were impressed. The fried batter was light, had a nice flavor and made me think what the interior of Mexico would produce for its people. We most definitely will he coming back at our next seafood craving.

It was as good as I remembered, perfectly fried fish & shrimp, great quality & taste. The fries however, tasted a little off and had an aftertaste. Not sure if it was a bad batch, but I will see how the fries taste on my next visit?! The new location is a little smaller than the previous location, it's a lot brighter which I do like a lot. Menu prices haven't changed much, still excellent quality at a value reasonable prices. Restaurant staff still friendly and courteous, strive for good customer service. My sister raves about the Ceviche here, so I definitely need to try it soon and also explore more of the various selections on the menu. Thank you Lighthouse Seafood for continuing providing great dining experiences!

    La Jaibita only excels in its atmosphere; I would not recommend spending your money here…read more First impressions of the restaurant gave me hope that the food would be as good as the decor and character of the restaurant. It was very clean and I liked how new everything looked. They play some decent Latin music and there's a sort of trendy vibe to the place. The workers were friendly and polite. However, those are the only redeeming qualities about this restaurant. The food was subpar at best. We ordered their fried fish with fries as well as a tortilla soup. I also ordered one of their five dollar fish tacos just to try them out. The fish plate strangely comes with a slice of garlic bread and overcooked fries (I like crispy fries, but these were like biting into sticks of wood). The fish taco was probably the best tasting thing from this restaurant (the bar is pretty low), it's a filet of fried fish topped with a slaw-like sauce and sliced avocado on a corn tortilla. I did enjoy it, but I felt the price was a bit steep for what you get. The tortilla soup lacked flavor as if the chef was scared to add seasoning. Maybe if you are going for the drinks then this place would be okay. I cannot speak on their alcoholic beverages. But there's one last thing that sealed it for me and made it certain I wouldn't return. They have a "cash price" vs a "card price" on their receipt, cash being less expensive. I pay cash and I'm brought incomplete change. I suppose they do not carry coins. I am left with bland mid tier food, hard fries, and robbed out of my change. Listing cash vs card price on your receipt that basically encourages paying cash, then not having complete change when a customer pays cash is a very dull business practice. Eat here if you feel like taking the gamble. Would not recommend.
