    The Italian Beef
    Peter M.

    Lucked out at Lunch!!! During a recent trip to the South Bend area for business, I found myself in a quandary. Many of the restaurants that my lunch crew and myself like to visit were closed on Mondays. We went all the way from New Carlyle to the airport looking for a place to eat. One of the people in my group suggested Volcano, an Italian-Style eatery close to the airport. Off we went and luckily it was open. When I arrived, I went back in time a few decades, as this place has that older feel to it. Simplistically decorated but fully functional. We were fortunate enough to catch the tail end of lunch and were able to get seated right away. Once I perused the menu, our server suggested the Italian Beef sandwich with fries. I also got a side of gravy. Since we didn't have a whole lot of time I was on point as the sandwich and the other items arrived fairly quickly. The Beef was tender and juicy, the bread fresh and all that gooey cheese made a very pleasant lunch. Give Volcano a shot, I will go back for dinner when I'm in the area again to try some other items, as it is known as a local favourite.

    A mom and pop Italian restaurant. Good food, good prices, good service. The inside is clean although a bit dated. Interesting memorabilia on the walls. Appears to be very popular with the older crowd of locals. Pizza is popular based on several tables around us ordering it. We ordered an Italian Beef sandwich and a Sausage sandwich. Food came out hot. First let me say, the rolls the sandwiches came on were amazing! Crispy crust and soft inside! I pulled pieces off and ate them with butter. Yummm! The sausage had caraway in it, which I love! Great flavor! The Italian Beef was good. The beef itself was okay. A little disappointing, but still enjoyed the sandwich overall. For sides we ordered fries and coleslaw. Fries were cooked crisp and perfect. Coleslaw was from a container, but still tasty. Service was quick. Server fixed a couple minor things quickly and checked on us several times. I think this is a great local place. You may have to go a few times to figure out your favorites, but there are some really good home made entrees here made with Italian love!

    We kept passing the Volcano restaurant on our way to Century Center for a MVPA military show convention. I said to my family I bet this is a good place to eat and was I right. The large supreme pizza was delicious and we had enough to really fill all three of us up. We also ordered the appetizer plate of fried zucchini, calamari, ravioli, and mozzarella sticks. The pizza was $26.00 and the appetizers were 11.95. The meal was a great deal for great meal and if we lived in this area we would be regular patrons!

    We stopped here on the way out of town as it's very close to the South Bend airport & it was recommended. This is a casual Italian restaurant that has decent food and generous portions. We ordered the cheese garlic bread which was ok, but definitely not necessary as our other food items came with bread. We also ordered the Volcano Portofino Salad, & the Italian Salad Supreme. They were both generously sized & very good. We also ordered their lasagna special, which was also a nice sized portion & was tasty. Finally, the service was fantastic. We had 2 waitresses, I assume one was on training, but they were a great team as we were served promptly & accurately. Even though we were slightly pressed for time, were in & out much more quickly than we expected. We will definitely visit again next time we're in town to check out more of their menu.

    Chicago Beef with Cheese
    Rod W.

    A "Wait to be seared" restaurant, but you wouldn't know it from outside. I ordered the Chicago Beef sandwich with cheese. Endless, quick to top off Pepsi. The sandwich was a great portion of beef without any fat. The au jus was perfect. The fries were not so good and held back 5 stars.

    Meatball sub
    Kyle V.

    This small family owned Italian restaurant is perfect for any occasion. The service is as great as you could ask for. The meatball sub was very good and everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. The pizza is fantastic but I haven't had that in about a year since I don't live here. The chefs salad was great and the ham/cheese special was enjoyed by a colleague as well. Overall, this is great for a quick lunch or dinner!

    Less than average cheese = less than average pizza. The people were polite. The tv was way too loud.

    Good food and service but as we left, I noticed a picture of former President Trump displayed in the vestibule. Seems inappropriate.

    Was my favorite place for pizza but now the toppings are so skimpy! $30.00 for your pizza is not worth it! So disappointed!

    Salads were just okay. What disturbed our meal was an employee, possibly the owner, sitting two tables over and dropping f-bombs and curses.
