A simple, pretty restaurant - the highlight definitely is that it has one of the very few patios downtown right on Yonge Street! Plastic and metal chairs on the patio.

Food ok, not marvellous but not expensive either. Pork filled with cranberries etc. was our favourite along with the daily pastas.

The interior is nicely decorated with varied chairs and tables, all very beautiful but some of them way too close to one another making it a little difficult to walk by... I seem to remember a fireplace inside but I think it did not actually have one, just a very warm feeling!

A great date spot, especially considering that it is a short walk to three movie theatres (Uptown, Varsity, Carlton) and has a funky, young atmosphere with good southern italian food, good wine, good specialty coffee and an outside patio for Yonge Street people-watching in the summer.

Also suitable for lunch or the single diner, Cafe Volo seems pretty amenable to lingering customers outside of peak dining hours. I'd heartily recommend their bruschetta and Pollo Limone.
