About the restaurant

We have been to Italy and studied it's masters. We have tasted (a lot) of wine. We have searched for the best ingredients, and learned and perfected the best recipes. Why wouldn't we be the best Italian experience in the Vail Valley!
The idea of growing fresh fruits and vegetables in the Rocky Mountains might seem crazy to some, but for us it is just another step in perfecting our craft. Our Chefs and Gardeners labor tirelessly to bring you the best produce and ingredients available seasonally
We try each day to live and work with a purpose. Each step of your evening has been pondered. We try hard to bring you the food you crave and anticipate your every need while you are dining with us. From the stuzzichino when you step in our door to the parting sips of limoncello.

What an incredible experience we had dining at this restaurant! From start to finish, everything was perfect, making it an unforgettable Christmas dinner with the family. Our waiter, Josh, was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and truly passionate about ensuring we had a great time. His warm smile and thoughtful service elevated the entire evening. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It was clear that a lot of care and skill went into every plate. On top of that, the restaurant’s festive ambiance and genuine hospitality made us feel like part of the family. Dining here on Christmas was the perfect way to celebrate, and it truly set the tone for a magical holiday. I couldn’t imagine a better way to end the night. Highly recommended!

About the restaurant

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.

Entire staff is friendly and helpful. Food is good homemade Italian. They are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions. My husband had the mushroom ravioli. He enjoyed it. I had the mushroom risotto. It was quite good. A huge portion. I was only able to eat half. We both had Ceasar salad and split a crème brûlée. Both were tasty.

Food was great. A bit of a mixup on the ordering, and in the billing, however it all got sorted out quickly. Would recommend though.

About the restaurant

At our restaurant, you’ll experience food prepared according to Old World traditions straight from the heart of Italy – the birthplace of our founder, Angelo Elia. Born in Salerno, Italy, Angelo was first taught to cook by his mother in their home kitchen. Both of his parents (his father was a local butcher) instilled in him the importance of using only locally gathered meats and fish, growing garden-fresh herbs, and baking breads from scratch. Angelo hand-selects the freshest, seasonal ingredients and artfully prepares them in an inviting setting of warmth and sophistication. A carefully curated list of wines has been masterfully chosen to create an extensive wine list from every region around the world. Whether it’s for an elegant night out or a gathering with family & friends, Chef Angelo Elia looks forward to inviting guests for an authentic Italian Tuscan-style meal in a setting that feels like home.
