Volo Leggero
Volo Leggero is a restaurant and pizzeria in Isola Rizza serving homemade pizzas with thick dough and fresh ingredients alongside appetizers, pasta, and grilled meats. The space features simple but carefully maintained tables and decor that create a clean, comfortable setting for dining.
The establishment started as a pub in the late 1980s and has gradually expanded into a larger restaurant over the decades. Despite these changes, it has maintained its original character while offering a more refined dining experience that still feels familiar to regulars.
The name refers to the nearby small airfield in the countryside, connecting the place to local aviation history. The decor blends rustic charm with modern touches, creating a space where visitors can experience genuine Italian dining without pretense or formality.
The restaurant operates Wednesday through Sunday evenings and has added Sunday lunch service since October 2024, closing Mondays and Tuesdays. Advance reservations by phone or email are recommended, especially for busy weekend periods.
Diners occasionally spot small airplanes taking off or landing from the nearby airfield, adding an unexpected element to meals eaten outdoors. This peculiar feature gives the countryside setting a memorable quality that guests often mention when recounting their visits.
