Volo Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in North Haven

1st time visiting. 2 of us. We sat at the bar. Bartender was chatting with a customer and I get it…that’s their job. But, if you have “time to lean you have time to clean.” Meaning…if you’re chatting or hanging out your area should be spotless. Apparently, they do not follow this rule because our area of the bar was covered in crumbs. Everyone that sits at a table or bar should be greeted with water. This way the customer does not have to ask and everyone that works there now knows that someone has that table or bar seat. We were not. Specials…who knows? The staff doesn’t. Fish of the day? “I don’t know…I have to check.” Then the bartender left to find out. Management/chef should inform everyone in the restaurant what these are before you start working. We ordered 2 drinks, arancini appetizer, burger and chicken Milanese. A “runner” ran out our food. Bartender had no idea our food was there because they were chatting again. Utensils…who needs them…me…I do. Condiments, ketchup, salt, pepper…who needs them? Me. I want them. And I hate waiting for them while my food just sits there getting cold while you talk. The food was good. The burger was perfectly medium and the chicken was not dry. Decent size portions. Food was nothing mind blowing or fancy, but good. But, basic service was lacking. I could’ve made all of this at home for less than $12. You go out to be “waited on.” Service...

VOLO is a very classy Italian restaurant that has an upscale design in dark woods, a great 2 bars and amazing live music all HIDDEN in a small shopping center in East Haven, just 2 minutes off the I-91 Freeway at Exit 12. The food? Amazing 👏 from a great burger to fancy Italian dishes. The cocktails 🍸 and bar drinks? Strong, well made and served with style. About 16 tables that are 4 tops so it's s perfect girls night out, date night with that special person or to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary. There is wonderful stage for live music bands and jazz and the entire vibe of VOLO is "adult" and "comfortable classic" in style. Live music 🎶 starts at 8:30 pm and the dance floor fills up. Women can dress upscale in a best dress or styled blue jeans and blouse and feel comfortable either way. The best adult restaurant North of New Haven with entertainment? Probably. The large free parking lot means easy & safe parking. There is a 2nd level smaller bar that's less formal but perfect for a party of 8 or 10 for a birthday. The fried chicken 🍗 looked amazing but, there is no food dish from pasta to meat that this high end kitchen staff does not make with excellent quality. For sports fans; they have 4 high quality large TVs that show baseball, basketball and one giant screen projection screen 10 feet by 10 for watching the "Big" games. Just "Go" and...

My husband went to Volo last night and tried it out as part of our 10 year anniversary celebration. We were greeted by the hostess Bella. What a way to start our entrance into the rest of the restaurant. Bella was very friendly and it was nice to be greeted with a friendly and welcoming face. Frank, the manager, came by our table and asked how things were and if anyone at that time had taken our order. The atmosphere is great. It's absolutely beautiful inside. We hope to go on a day when there's live entertainment. The staff is friendly as well. I would recommend checking in with the customer more frequently after the food is received, other than that, everything was perfect. My husband had the salmon dish and I had the wild mushroom risotto...very good!!! As we exited the restaurant, once again Bella was there to send us off with a smile and inviting us to return. We...
