Chef Vola's Review

Small, intimate, and exclusive, this Italian restaurant draws a seemingly endless stream of regulars. The steak, veal, and homemade pasta dishes earn high marks, as does the service. Nearly everyone raves about the homemade cream pies. The only problem is landing a reservation. They give preference to those who have dined with them before, or to those who at least know someone who has dined with them before. BYOB.

    Best Italian Around!

    Our experience at Chef Vola's was great all around. From the moment we walked in we knew we'd enjoy. The service is top-notch, the food speaks for itself. Absolutely fantastic! Definitely try the Prosciutto & Mozzarella. He had a Veal that was amazing. I had Shrimp Franese, which was the best Francese I had ever had. Next time we will save a little room for dessert, as we hear the desserts are amazing. If you can get the reservation, you must try. This is what dining out is about!

    Excellent!

    My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at this lovely restaurant. While reservations are difficult, it is definitely worth the wait. Everything (the bread, salad, entree, and desert) were magnificant. The linguini with white clam sauce was the BEST I have ever had. Delicious!!! By far the best restaurant in Atlantic City...it is a BYO so bring a good bottle of wine. Reservations are easier to come by during the week! You will not be disappointed with this small gem!

    Never disappointed ever.

    I have never had a disappointing meal ever. I have been going to Chef Vola's for
    25 years. The food, service, atmosphere,and you get what you pay for, quality and excellent food. It's a pleasure to dine with
    friends.

    OVERPRICED

    There are too many good restaurants in town to deal with the wait, attitude and
    average food.

    Great Experience

    After the initial attitude of the waitress and owners son, we were very satisfied with our meal and the price. One of the best pieces of veal I have had in a long time. This will be my second choice in AC for now on. Cafe 2825 will always be number 1. To much hype about reservations only and only one chance to order dinner. I guess if you were still hungry you will need to go somewhere else. (Cafe 2825) We ate on a Tuesday night and it was not busy enough to warrant reservations only.
