Open for Lunch, Happy Hour in the bar area, and Dinner!

With slow-roasted local meats. Rich savory sauces. Handmade pasta. Fresh-from-the-farm vegetables. Volario’s serves bold, earthy fare inspired by the pasture-rich terrain and fragrant kitchens across the Italian Alps – right here in the Rocky Mountains.

With a menu that changes with the harvest of the season and the catches from the streams, Volario’s surprises the palate with both local produce and faraway flair. As you savor the rustic and robust flavors from the mountainous regions of northern Italy, we invite you to sit back with a nice Chianti and reflect on your day in the majestic mountains here.

Our dishes are hearty and adventurous, much like Volario himself. The legend in the Grand Valley is as old as the pines that shade the creek. Volario wasn’t from these parts. Like many of us, he visited and couldn’t imagine leaving.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Volario's Family Italian delights with "divine" dishes like Chicken Cacciatore and Mafalde Bolognese. Its charming mountain town setting, creekside seating, and open kitchen create a cozy ambiance. While service can be inconsistent, attentive staff ensure memorable visits. Diners love the "amazing" food, especially fresh pasta, making it a Winter Park gem.

    A night out at Volarios is a special experience. We enjoyed all our food but the stars were the meatballs, pomodoro lasagna and affogatos. The service was great and I particularly appreciated how well they paced our meal so we could enjoy our night and not feel rushed.

    Kirby (server) was great. Lots of food, come hungry, you'll love it. Ceaser salad was slightly overdressed for me, arugula salad was perfect for my wife.

    Fantastic restaurant! If you are a group of four or less ask to be seated in the bar for a cozy evening. For larger groups, sit in the main dining room and enjoy the view of the open kitchen on one side & the creek on the other.

    Unfortunately Volario's is struggling. Waitstaff working as hard as they can but they are overwhelmed and understaffed. No Busboys so finished tables sat covered with dishes and glasses the entire time we were there - 2 hrs. Suggest matching the number of tables you book to the staffing that evening? Ordered Charcuterie Board as a starter and while nice looking had mostly meats and cheeses we can buy at Safeway, including Brie cheese - not italian. Had Risotto as a main but arrived as a bowl of gloppy rice and certainly not al dente. Definitely needs work. Gnocchi was OK. Not the professional experience I would expect for a $120 bill.

    A reliable Italian option in the past so we don't really mind the 20 mile drive each way to the restaurant. Possibly an off night or a staffing issue. Very log wait between seating, salad, and extended wait for entre. Had to ask waiter for water refill repeatedly and any condiments ie. pepper and parmesan cheese. Our waiter did step up and credit us for 2 entres due to the extended delay in receiving our meals.

    The food was delicious but we waited an hour before we even got our cocktail. I felt bad for our waiter since the restaurant was clearly understaffed. But once our drinks came, everything else progressed as one would expect

    Excellent food - meatballs, frito misto, focaccia, risotto. Attentive service. Noise level prevented us from hearing each other speak.
