Restaurant Review

If you are fortunate to find and get into this very popular, cash only, BYOB, Italian restaurant, you’ll be treated like a celebrity and served some of the best traditional Italian food ever.

Located within walking distance from the Boardwalk, near the Tropicana, in the basement of a three-story house. There is no sign out front advertising the restaurant other than a small, brass plaque on the side of the shingled house says "CHEF VOLAS".

This 65 seat restaurant's decor is simple 50's, with vinyl tablecloths, pink linen place mats, and drop ceilings that are a challenge to tall people. As you enter the dining room you will be greeted with Italian cooking aromas of pasta sauce and garlic that permeate the dining room.

Your dining experience will be a casual evening that's best enjoyed with friends, it's fun, loud, and the staff is friendly.

It's not the place for a quiet, upscale, gourmet dining experience.

The Esposito family's cuisine is Neapolitan and Sicilian and they serve up generous portions of well prepared homemade pasta dishes.

The check is presented in a music box.

Chef Volas is not recommended for children.

Chances for reservations are good during the off-season. During the summer months you are apt to be interrogated and the best chance of getting a reservation is by having a referral.
