I was on my first trip to San Francisco a few weeks ago, and because my boyfriend and I are lovers of Italian food, we decided to go to North Beach for dinner. We chose Volare based on its charming decor, and an employee outside who persuaded us to give them a try. Boy, am I sorry we did. We both ordered soda (over $2 for a can, no refills), both of which were expired and flat. They replaced the bad soda with other, equally bad cans, and never offered an apology. Our food was mediocre at best, and definitely not worth the $15/entree they were charging. I think that when I return to San Francisco, I'll skip over North Beach completely and get my Italian elsewhere.
Pros: Decor
Cons: Slow service, Rude waitstaff, Overpriced
