What can I say? It was fabulous in the 90's in Manhattan and now that our favorite restaurant moved to PA, it's even better!! All the same dishes and the same owner. You step in and the phone booth from west 4th is there. There is an upstairs. It is ByOb but the owner is getting his liquor license. It's right off the interstate, and it's close to the casino, Camelback Mountain, and great Wolf Lodge Absolutely highly recommend making the trip! read more

Came to this town for skiing and I was hungry so I decided to stop here. The soup was okay and the meatballs were okay. The service was not very impressive and maybe it is because I am from a big city. But from someone that has been all over the USA, I have received better service in smaller towns. The restaurant it is spacious and the ambiance lack the Italian vide. read more

We went Father's Day with an 8:00 pm reservation for 2. We showed up 15 minutes early and the tables were still full. It is a byob and we brought wine, but we were offered a cocktail at the bar while we were waiting. The owner greeted us and was welcoming and charming. We were seated and the service was exceptional. It was a busy night and unfortunately there were a few meals that had sold out (not unusual for an 8:00 reservation) but we had no problem finding delicious options. We are 20 minutes away, and have closer options, but we will definitely be back! read more

We have been in this area a few times in the last year and had wanted to stop well tonight we made reservations. We started with a mushroom app was good I had filet mignon husband chicken something All food was good would come back. A little loud but atmosphere was fine dessert rice pudding and cannoli all desserts are home made and you can tell. Definitely recommend. read more

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was great!! Definitely will go back again soon

One of the few places where I found the food just okay across the board -- from the calamari, ravioli, and stuffed clams to the linguine with clam sauce and breaded veal. My dish, the stuffed veal chops, was unfortunately the worst of the bunch. The alcohol-infused mozzarella had a salty, bitter taste that didn't pair well with the veal chop. Overall, the experience itself wasn't bad, but when I compare it to the quality of food I'm used to in New York, it's not even close. Needless to say, I'll probably be skipping this spot the next time I'm in town. read more

service was great the food does not match the service had the sea bass it was just ok looked more like flounder then sea bass

What a gem. We fell upon this place by accident and will definitely be coming back again. Everything was delicious. The staff was amazing.

Top notch. Been going here over 30 years when they were at their original location in Greenwich Village. Same owner,same chef, same standards. Outstanding food, quality, service, atmosphere. Worth the trip!! Can't wait to go back. Falco is the best. When you walk in you are family!! read more

One would think this place was fantastic seeing how many people were in here. Then you have to remember that for the most part there are actually no other Italian restaurants nearby, one would have to go to Stroudsburg for Momentos which is pretty decent. or to Basso. Two weeks ago The service was fine, But the prices are pretty high...They charge $7 for a corking fee, I imagine most were drunk by the time the food came. In all Honestly, if you thought the food is outstanding, then you were drunk to the point where everything tasted great. Far from it... This is a small place and it can become extremely noisy. read more

Food and service both excellent. The owner Caesar is right there in the restaurant and is a very hands-on person who helps take orders, serve and does pretty much everything. He's a very personable guy and really cares about his customers experience. I just loved my food and we're looking forward to going back. read more

Amazing food and service. Had the meatball appetizer, skirt steak and lamb shank, everything was delicious and well cooked. Highly recommend!! read more

Wonderful Italian restaurant right in the center of Tannersville. Call to make a reservation. They are a small restaurant and everything is cooked fresh to order. I had the Pollo Calabrese. It was delicious!! My husband had the Fettuccine Bolognese he loved his as well. He love the homemade pasta. This is a BYOB. They do charge a $7.00 corking fee. It's a little noisy but you can still have a conversation. The owner, Ceasar, goes table to table all night long making sure you are having the best experience possible. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent food and service. We eat here every time we visit Poconos area. High recommended!!

Service incredible, food superb, drinks were great and the whole meal was well priced!

We typically love the food there & service, owner is great, but definitely not for special occasion or peak hours on weekends. Restaurant is overbooked, parking was all full, had no choice but to park handicapped for my 7:20pm anniversary dinner. My blond waitress sat us & took liquid order but completely forget about my table, no water no bread until someone else realize we being sitting upstairs for 15 mins. I asked to replace finnochio to frutto di mare but both came out (I excused it with no complaints, 2 big tables birthday parties restaurant is busy). What really frustrates me is bitting into a mouthful of sand from mussel after waiting for my entre for more than 1 hour. This is simply UNACCEPTABLE. In the end I got no idea who is serving my table anymore, I got 1 waitress sat me down & forgot my table, another took my order wrong, and for desert the 1st one came back to serve my table. I'm very tired of endless waiting, this is not the quality or service I'd expect for fine dinning experience for my anniversary. read more

Incredible food and service....Cesar and his staff are top notch, a great dining experience! Best Veal ANYHERE and the kitchen will cook whatever you want.... read more

The food is the best in the entire Pocono region. The service that Cesar and his staff provide is second to none. They make you feel like family. And the ambience is warm and inviting. It's my favorite place to dine! read more

This place is top notch. If you are looking for a good Italian restaurant in this area, look no further. The quality of this place would stand on its own even in New York City. read more

Revisited yesterday. Still a great place. They had the Eagles game on the TV. Still BYOB; only a $7 corkage fee. Fennel salad still a must order. My wife and I ordered other appetizers, too. Next visit we'll try their entrees (plus the fennel salad). BTW, the cappuccino was excellent! No room to try their desserts this visit. Wife said we have to travel from Dallas, PA to Tannersville at least once a month for dinner at Volare's. Agreed! read more

NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE. So I went here with 9 other people and I was disappointed. That place looked like it was from the 80s. It took so long to get our food. I asked for a refill on my coke but the first time I asked they never got it. I asked for a coke the second time it took to long. The places is so weird. The people over there are really mean. The kid that was with us didn't like spegetti.I got the skirt steak and oh boy I was disappointed it tasted like a long horn steak and the ice cream I got tasted like something from dollar tree. we weren't there until 11:34. Terrible service dont open more locations read more

Exceptional! The only way to describe our meal tonight. This restaurant ranks amongst the best Italian restaurants I have been to. Oh, and that's a lot!!! Don't miss this one and thank me later. read more

Revisited last Saturday. Like always, the food is always excellent. You can never go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't choose anything "safe", everything is always fresh, and delicious. Service is always on point, and the restaurant is always clean! You can never go wrong! read more

Cesar runs a fabulous and welcoming restaurant, with great and very fresh dinners in all courses The chef is very creative and prepares dishes and specials that all have individually great tastes read more

Packed you would think this place was wonderful. They are illusionists. I'd love to see them on Kitchen nightmares with Ramsay. They all probably love the place because they bring their own wine have it uncorked for them served to them and they all feel special. Probably buzzed before the first bite. The most pretentious, bunch of no nothing foodies I've ever seen. This place is horrible. Cesar dressing tasted like a mustard bomb....... calamari, flavorless, zero seasoning, soggy undercooked, The veal parmigiana look nice but was soggy and flavorless. Bolognese tasted frozen and reheated. God awful place, except for the staff who tried and succeeded to put on a good show. Please taste your food before sending it out. We expected more and were disappointed. read more

Authentis everything especially when it comes down to food this place is the real deal with Italian cuisine with real Italian recipes when you come in and sit down even down to the atmosphere and their drinks and their service, you would really think that you are in Italy it is so authentic and the food is exceptional. Must come an experience a taste of Italy. read more

Food was awesome ! Went for my husbands birthday. Super traditional and old school Italian restaurant

Service was slow, might have been since they were short handed. But the food was worth waiting for. Great salad, excellent branzino and veal chop (bone and all). I would come back in a minute. read more

Prices were higher than little italy in nyc but the food was completely... edible. Nothing great about this place. Definitely not a gem. Rigatoni carbonara is overglorified velveeta mac n cheese. You get six raviolis for the entree. Every dish my family got was undercooked (and unevenly cooked) pasta but i guess thats what we get for asking mountain folk to make pasta. There is no ocean nearby so stay clear from the seafood since all you can taste is onion/garlic from the clam/mussel whatever it is soup. Bread is warm and soft though. Staff took a LONG time but seems to be on par with the rest of the area. Shoutout to Wendy's across the street. The staff at wendy's was great and felt like extended family. This place needs a major interior uplift since it is basically a warehouse vibe with fake wooden panels. Christmas decorations are cute though but so much potential is lost from the actual interior of the restaurant. Nothing really "upscale" about this place. Just seems like management is out of touch with the upscale restaurant world and the chef is delusional culinarily. read more

Very excited to try this place when I heard the cook is from Brooklyn. I was a bit disappointed. Nothing was bad but nothing was great. Staff was lovely, fried calamari was a bit oily, my husband loved the risotto special, my linguine with clam sauce was ok, sauce was a little sandy. Bread was excellent wish the butter was softer. I wish a salad was included with the meal. The other two people with us got a chicken dish, looked like a chicken patty. Not a great location, inside was very Dark. read more

Best veal parmigiana I've ever had. Great cocktails. Service is impeccable. Fresh clams from NYC.

As soon as you walk in you feel at home. The owner greets you like he knows you and treats you as a friend. You should make a reservation because the place isn't very big but the tables are spaced apart comfortably. Your table is your table if you want for the night. The food is delicious. The tricolor salad is a traditional tricolor which I absolutely love! I had the Pork Ossobuco that fell off the bone! Delicious. It had a light red sauce that went so well with the pork and you can use it as a dipping sauce. The other two meals were veal any style, which piccata style was chosen and the chicken special. Both were delicious. To top it off was the dessert! The cakes are fresh light and delicious! Love this place! read more

The absolute BEST! The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. The owner and staff are so kind, and provide great service. It's a more upscale place and decorated very nicely. Always clean. We will always return! read more

The menu while not extensive has an excellent variety of dishes. The veal was absolutely delicious. The staff was on top of everything making it a highly recommended spot for fine Italian fare. read more

This restaurant has INCREDIBLE food and I say very honestly that I think it is the absolute best food in the entire region. Nothing can compete. We've been coming here for the past year or so and have grown to really appreciate the opportunity to visit this restaurant. The owner seems to always be there and just works nonstop. He's kind to our entire family. He's always focused on ensuring everyone is having a perfect experience. I've ordered so many meals here and there was one time I didn't love what I ordered (it wasn't bad - just not for me) and he could tell immediately and insisted on replacing the meal because he wanted to make sure that I loved what I was eating, The entire staff is wonderful. It's BYOB, which I actually like. The shrimp is MY FAVORITE. But also worth noting that they have the best damn espresso in area and their deserts are exquisite. Thank you Volare! read more

We used to go to volare in the city we tried the new volare in the Poconos It was great as always same chief, the owner falco was working hard that night but still took the time to chat and has always made you feel like family. I have never had a Brasciole as good as theres it did not disappoint We will be back soon Thank you falco read more

Very good authentic Italian food in the Poconos, the owner is very nice and offered us after dinner drinks on the house (they are a byob). Portion sizes are somewhat on the small size and they get crowded so service is somewhat slow. Definitely recommend as it's the best Italian food in the area. read more

Had an amazing dinner tonight. Food is best in Pocono's Although there was a snow storm , we came out to our car cleaned off by parking attendant. First class restaurant!! read more

Great service and great food. Definitely give this a try. They are very tentative and I would highly recommend

The whole experience is about firstly the food!! Coming from NY where food is a love language we were so disappointed at the food around here.. UNTIL WE FOUND VOLARE. The food is as close to NYC Italian food you will find. The taste of everything is amazing we have not found any dish we didn't love!! The staff including the owner make you feel as though you were his best customers!! As busy as it gets he finds his way to your table to chat!! Don't walk to get there run and enjoy the food!!
