Volare Wine & Bistro

New resident of Hapeville here. Thank you for marking GF (Gluten Free) items on your menu. There are so many of us with dietary needs and 2 little letters on a menu mean the world to us! Absolutely delicious and can't wait to be a regular!

One of the things that I have committed to doing this year is to patronize businesses in my community. I live in the Tri-City area. East Point, College Park, Hapeville. I honestly did not know this restaurant existed until I saw it on Facebook. I don't get over to Hapeville often but the past two times that I went out to eat have been in Hapeville. We made a reservation for 5:30. We finished around 7:00. It started getting busy. Reservations are recommended for all Atlanta area restaurants at this point and time. It's so much easier than just sitting around waiting. The restaurant is pretty much open meaning the seating, the bar and there's like an open style kitchen. We were greeted and seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. It's small and intimate and actually I like that. Starters: Bruschetta and Mandarin Salad. The bruschetta was abundant. The plate made you want to dig in immediately. Very healthy portion. Mandarin Salad- Gourmet greens, almonds, mandarin oranges, crumbled goat cheese, red onions, Mandarin Orange vinaigrette. Very good and the dressing was subtle in taste. PAN SEARED GROUPER Wild rice, sauteed zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, artichokes, honey chipotle peach reduction. gluten free. This dish was delectable. I took my time and ate it very slowly because I did not want want it to end. Lastly I chose Carrot Cake for dessert. The cake is chilled which makes it dense and dry. That was a little shocking. The cake had a good taste and the frosting was not overly sweet. It didn't seem like it was cream cheese based. Had it been room temperature it would have been perfect. We also had champagne and Riesling wine. The server was very bubbly, attentive and handled everything with ease. I would definitely come back here for a treat.
