Volante - Saint Paul

Located a bit away from the main gate area towards the end of the G gates, this restaurant was pleasantly quiet on a Monday morning. The sausage breakfast sandwich (SEC) looked just like its photo! However, the cheese was the standard pre-packaged American variety instead of a higher-quality option like cheddar or provolone. The fruit was quite acidic, suggesting it had been pre-sliced and included pineapple that seemed overcooked with the other fruits; I only managed to eat one grape before leaving the rest. The servers were friendly, but they appeared a bit frustrated with customers using QR codes to place orders instead of the traditional method. Personally, I prefer ordering via QR codes, as it simplifies the process and limits unnecessary conversation.

It's a typical airport restaurant. However, I wasn't a fan of the ordering process. First, they use a barcode menu, and secondly, you have to pay online. Entering my credit card number and CVV on their website feels a bit inconvenient.

The QR code system designed only for men made it a bit challenging to place my order, as it rejected my credit card a few times. I ended up having to complete the transaction with another method.

Really wanted to like this place.THE GOOD: It was relatively quiet, comfortable, clean, and pleasant in the booth I sat at against the wall. Really appreciated the plug-ins at the table to recharge devices. Nice move. Servers are cordial.THE UN-GOOD: Unfortunately the food was rather bland, and their ordering system requires you to pay the tip before you get your food or service. Hate to say it, but…I detest that. Servers did not initiate much contact, so be ready to wave them down or go chat with them. Received the food and then was left alone for the entirety of my 1-1/2 hr stay. No drink refills. Will likely look for another option next time through.

Best spaghetti I have ever had. Not sweet has some kick or bite to it. Definitely not for kids more Italian style. I hate spaghetti but I loved it here. I can't handle sweet sauce. This sauce has bit or kick its great.
