Fodor's Expert Review Volare

Although this restaurant is crammed in between half a dozen other restaurants overlooking the marina, the Italian opera music, bare wood floors, exposed beams, and brick walls create an environment that is miles away from Tauranga. The lounge bar is at street level; head up the wrought-iron staircase to the restaurant, where a comprehensive menu is divided helpfully into chicken, meat, and seafood; pasta and risotto; and pizza. All the classics, and more, are there for you to choose from.
