mmm-yoso!!! is usually written by Kirk, who is presently enjoying a summer weekend while Cathy writes the post today.
I wrote about Volare in 2014 and The Mister and I have returned to this family owned and operated restaurant (since 1978) many times since, here's an update.
The building, signage and interior has remained the same and survived Covid-19.
I chose (as always) the wonderful, vegetable filled minestrone soup as my side
to the 1/2 eggplant parmesan sandwich ($9 on the board at the door specials). This is a favorite order, served on a wonderful toasted Italian bread-the tomato sauce, crisp fried, breaded eggplant and melted cheese is a blend of comforting flavors and a texture filled meal.
The Mister ordered the baked (cheese or meat) ravioli from the menu at the door ($9). The serving comes with the bread, as well as a choice of meat or meatless sauce as well as the optional mushroom topping (of course He wanted that!). He also ordered a side salad ($2); quite large and we shared it. Great, tasty ricotta filled ravioli, meat sauce, fresh mushrooms. Just perfect.
The menu at the door also offered an individual size white pizza ($8). We had to. Quite large for an appetizer (we thought of it that way) (there were leftovers) and exactly the way I like pizza- simple with a thin, somewhat crisp dough and toppings which conveyed the flavors of the cheeses.
