LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An iconic Louisville Italian restaurant is getting some national recognition.
USA Today Network named Volare on Frankfort Avenue on its 2026 Restaurants of the Year list.
The list calls Volare a Louisville treasure known for special occasion dining, house-made pastas and ingredients from a farm owned by Executive Chef Josh Moore, according to our partners at Louisville Business First.
"There are a ton of amazing restaurants in the city and in the state. I think something that makes us special, we've been here 22 years," Moore said. "And we have an amazing team. Not only amazing food, but the service is top-notch. You get the entire experience."
