— OUR CUISINE
Sardinian and Roman cuisine since 1977, just steps from the Colosseum
Since 1977, Ristorante Pizzeria Volare has brought the best of two traditions to Rome, just steps from San Giovanni in Laterano: authentic Sardinian cuisine — culurgiones, fregola, bottarga and porceddu — alongside the great classics of Roman cooking, from carbonara to amatriciana to saltimbocca. Fresh, genuine ingredients, time-honoured recipes and our pizza baked to order.
— WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Voices from guests who dined with us.
"A truly excellent experience! It's not my first time at this restaurant and every time I leave completely satisfied. This restaurant is the perfect meeting of traditional Roman cooking and the authentic flavours of Sardinia, with a wonderful view…"
Translated from Italian
"Excellent restaurant near the Colosseum. Kind, smiling staff. We had the trio of typical Roman pastas. The best was the amatriciana. Fair prices."
Translated from Italian
"We had dinner here and everything was very good. Excellent fried starter, excellent gricia pasta with artichokes, the cutlets and fries just as good, perfect ice cream. Welcoming, kind and helpful staff. Clean place, bathroom included."
Translated from Italian
"We came by chance while looking for somewhere to eat. They seated us inside, in a room where we were comfortable and cool. We had a pasta course and were pleasantly surprised: the carbonara and the pasta with ragù were excellent. Staff…"
Translated from Italian
"Honestly, it was a very pleasant surprise. We went in by chance, but it turned out to be one of the best meals we had in the city. Unbeatable price for the area it's in."
Translated from Spanish
"The best service we had in Rome. The food was absolutely delicious, but what made the difference was the service and welcome from the whole team. Generous portions, simply spectacular."
Translated from Portuguese
"A 10 out of 10 experience. The food was delicious: a very fresh Caesar salad, and a spectacular carbonara, creamy and with an authentic flavour. The staff were kind and attentive the whole time, and the atmosphere is cosy and pleasant."
Translated from Spanish
"Me and my husband went here after our guided tour of the Colosseum. It was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. We both had the creamy Alfredo and it was stunning — fresh, hot and full of flavour! Your place to go for good quality food."
"Fantastic food - mouthwatering. Sat with the Colosseum behind us. Had lasagna and had great service — would 100% recommend!"
"Livio provides great service, super kind and dedicated to his work, always attentive to any question, and the food is delicious. I had dinner here two days in a row and would definitely come back, highly recommended!"
