Really good food in a little mom and pop. Restaurant is old and had a slight musty smell. House Italian dressing is do good I used the warm crusty bread to sop it up! Homemade manicotti was served bubbling hot, took a while for it to cool enough to get a good taste. Was delicious. Cost all of $24.00 for two of us to eat. Friendly, efficient staff!
Nice neighborhood restaurant. So, I will admit, I screwed up! I go to a local South Bend Italian Restaurant and order Fried Wahoo?? Say what??? Oh, it was great, although a purchased frozen product. But still very tasty! So here's my full assessment:
The salad was limp and not stored at the right temp to remain crispy and they use bottled dressing. The only dissappointment tonight. The bread plate was half of an Italian bread loaf, buttered with garlic. Good, but too much for me.
The cole slaw was not home made but tasted good enough. Now to the fried wahoo. It was frozen but very good. BUT, this is an Italian restaurant!??? Why did I do that???
NOW, the marinara. Home made, excellent with peppers, garlic and onions. It was wonderful!
The service was excellent. Very attentive and accommodating. The server was more than happy to let me taste the maranara sauce.
Next time. ORDER THE ITALIAN! IT'S AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT!!!
Couldn't stay away. I wandered into Volcano on the 3rd day of my 6-day stay in SB after seeing it near my hotel. I had the Veal Parmesan the first night, and it was good enough that I went back for the next two nights and had the same thing. Great salad and soft bread before the meal arrived, and then another loaf of Italian bread with the meal.
The portion was actually more than I could eat, so I requested less pasta with the veal on nights 2 and 3, and that was more my size. The restaurant was nearly full each time I went, but the hostess or the owner (whoever saw me first) always invited me to sit wherever I wanted.
I greatly enjoyed the food, and I'll definitely be back if I have to be in South Bend again.

Lucked out at Lunch!!!
During a recent trip to the 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.
Went twice in a week. First time had the Italian beef sandwich and the deluxe Italian salad. The salad was good but I was a little disappointed in the size and meat quantity, 2 slices of pepperoni was all and 2 pepperoncini, let me say here that I was going in thinking this was going to be like Reggios Giuseppe salad, the restaurant in Mishawaka that is no longer open , anyone that had that salad can understand. The Italian beef was great, will definitely get again, next time we got pizza supreme , very good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Will be back
Our favorite pizza now! Order so often, they know our name by what we order...and it's weekly...Great Pizza....
Very excellent place to eat Italian. Service was on point and the food was phenomenal. I will definitely be back when I'm around south bend
Very friendly staff-patient for first timers, excellent food, warm, comfortable atmosphere, they have booths and tables, alcohol, lemonade, and Coke products. Generous toppings on the pizza and tastes amazing!! Definitely worth a little more and the drive!!
