A Running List of Restaurants That Closed in New York City, July 2021 - Eater NY

"Long before Volare opened in the 1970s, several different families ran this historic Downtown Manhattan establishment as a red sauce restaurant dating back to the Roaring 20s. The writer Richard Snow wrote an ode to the Italian spot for Grub Street and even described it as a “secret steakhouse, one that didn’t disappoint the most devoted frequenter of Peter Luger.”" - Erika Adams

Volare in New York City Is Set to Close Permanently

"Volare in Greenwich Village is set to close this weekend. This Saturday, Volare Restaurant will serve its last steak, its last dish of pasta, its last basket of incomparable bread. The Italian cooking was splendid, and Volare was also a secret steakhouse, one that didn’t disappoint the most devoted frequenter of Peter Luger." - Richard Snow

This place is such a classic Italian restaurant. Its been around for such a long time and has built up so much character over the years. Its low-lit rustic feel puts you in the mood to eat. The food is fantastic. The chicken parm is paper thin, the halibut is firm and flavorful. The desserts are rich and thick. Every part of the meal was washed down with great wine. Definitely a great hang out spot for the real ones.

Drinks were great, wait staff on point. Chick parm melt in your mouth. Nice calamari, fresh salad. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to; fantastic service, unbelievable food, and a welcoming atmosphere. The first time I'd ever gone, I walked in and immediately felt like I was being greeted by family. Didn't have to wait long during a pretty busy night for each course to be served, and I cannot stress enough the quality of the food or the friendliness/professionalism of the staff. Amazing. Want to return ASAP.

We hosted my Mother's surprise birthday party here over the weekend and could not have been happier with our experience. Working with Sal, one of the owners, made the planning process smooth and easy. Volare has an excellent reputation, and from our party, it's clear to see why. The food was amazing, the service impeccable and the vibe of the restaurant is so relaxed you feel like you're in your own home surrounded by friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my Mother's party such a success!

A wonderful experience! We had my daughter's wedding reception here this past weekend. The food and service were both spectacular and priced very reasonably for NYC. Falco went more than out of his way to execute a tremendous wedding party. Word of advice: come hungry, you'll need the added space.Such a great place! I wish I could come back soon!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I live in Jacksonville FL and heard wonderful things. Sal gave us the full experience. We never even looked at the menu, just told him what we liked and they absolutely nailed it. Same with the drinks. I will come here any chance I can!

No lunch specials and overpriced cocktails today. Large portions but hefty prices do not make it worth a visit. The place was almost empty. Perhaps with more reasonable pricing they could get more of a crowd. Many alternatives with fair pricing are available locally.

A neighborhood staple. My girlfriend had the salmon Provencal and I had the pasta arriabata, both dishes were amazing. Our waiter was attentive but gave us privacy. Seating is super comfy and the atmosphere is quite romantic. We can't wait to return.
