Step into the rustic charm of Volare. You will be instantly captivated by the warm ambient atmosphere of this authentic Italian restaurant right in the heart of Tauranga, 85 The Strand.
Working your way through the culinary fare on the menu will leave your mouth watering, along with the equally enticing eclectic mix of prime Italian and local wines.
WHEN DINING AT VOLARE you need to be prepared for a savoured repast, an authentic Italian style dining experience with the very best ingredients available. The meal you order be it an appetiser, fresh homemade pasta, meat, seafood, salad or side, all will be made with typical passion from scratch. The way its always been in Italy.
NOT ONLY IS VOLARE A GREAT RESTAURANT but it is also a fantastic place for a social drink at the Bar.
25th September 2011 VERY expensive, but oh so classy!! We had a delicious meal there, the menu is filled with all sorts of delectables and it's difficult to choose because it all looks so tasty - and it was.
A memorably wonderful meal, great location and decor, but the prices made me downgrade the review from 5 star food.
A pity, because if the prices were 20% less, we would eat there regularly.

23rd March 2011 One of the best places to go in tauranga for a romantic meal. Not your average eatery the place looks and feels italian. The menu does change very often but the classics are always there.

8th September 2010 Well I never thought this day would come after many a wonderful night dining in Volare but we were very dissapointed. The menu has changed and our favourites had been modified. The Bruschetta had been downsized considerably and hey have changed the smoked salmon and caper to chicken Liver Pate.
My wife ordered a tomato based dish that comprised of about 6 mussels, a small piece of white fish and garlic bread on top.
A meal I would have thrown together as a student for a little over a fiver and this was $36.00
Disgraceful!
I understand that there has been a new owner buying in and these changes may be his doing. Luigi needs to put this guy in the cheap Italian eatery around the corner in Wharf Street that he has just opened and come back to Volare URGENTLY.
Prior to us leaving, there was another customer clearly a regular that asked for Luigi and sent his food back.
I hope that things improve as I was proud to take clients and family there but that will be off the radar until further notice.

5th July 2010 Fantastic Italian cuisine!
a MUST visit Restaurant!
Traditional food with fantastic service!
When booking, ask for an upstairs table if possible as the open roof with the beams etc makes for great dining experience!
