Vino Volo

I love love this restaurant. It’s just perfect for a wine loving traveler who doesn’t need a big meal and wants quality over quantity. This place is quiet, perhaps the quietest place in PHL. Every week when I stop here there is someone who works in the airport napping nearby. They have nice pop music playing in the atmosphere. No TVs, thank goodness. There is a nice view. I can see ships docking nearby. Their prices are fine by me. The food is great. I love the tarts, the chocolate torte, the chicken breast salad, the white chicken chili, and the smoked salmon rolls. I haven’t had the other items yet.

Beats your typical sad airport eats. Feels like home. Or what home could be if it were in an airport.

I really enjoy the Vino Volvo locations as I travel. At this one I arrived as they were closing on a Friday night. I would have been fine if they had to turn me away. But not this one, a welcome and a glass of Vino!
A great Terrasole red, a great ending to my week before the trip home. THANK YOU VINO VOLVO PHILADELPHIA, TERMINAL C. I will always be a patron! Thank you Ronald, fantastic customer service.

In the mood for a small pours of mediocre, overpriced wines? Got a craving for the saddest cheese plate in the world, complete with slimy meat that’d make a 3am roadside deli feel shamed? Feel like overpaying for olives that probably came from a can?
If all of this sounds like a good way to spend your post-​TSA free massage time, you’re in luck. They have a finely curated list of half-​corked wines that have been open for a bare minimum of two days before serving, and a small selection of inappropriately described small food plates, service that definitely makes it seem like an exclusive event (read: your presence is doing them a disservice) and an environment that screams «we won’t be here in 3 months» more than your average pop-​up.

Critics say it’s overpriced and the wine and foods are unremarkable, but lighten up. When on a long layover thanks to a flight delay, my husband and I found the staff very welcoming and more than willing to let us hang out in a pleasant, quiet corner, taking up two tables with our glasses and platters, for hours. It cost less than springing for refuge in an airline club and we enjoyed cheeses, meats and almonds with wine flights tailored to our requests. It was far superior in atmosphere and food quality to the other options in the terminal, so I have to give it a positive review.

Wow, this place sucks.
The charcuterie plate is totally boring and way overpriced. $ 19 for ONE slice of three meats and about two ounces of cheese?
The service is unaware, even on a quiet night.
No one would come here if they weren’t trapped — and you shouldn’t either… Go ANYWHERE else in the airport.

Beyond overpriced.
The staff are professional and polite but also slow, absent and condescending.
The food is beyond unremarkable and crushingly overpriced even by airport standards.
I need to go have dinner to get over having just had dinner.

Took a seat at the bar which I had to swap as it had zero padding and was wobbling all over the place.
Noticed a lot of small black flys hovering around. Ordered a expensive semi ok glass of red.
Also ordered a Brie and prosciutto sandwich. Should have known better as overheard barmen talking about the expiry date on the Brie .
Sandwich arrived, soft limp bread and dodgy salad. Took a bite and noticed the prosciutto was actually thick cut ham. Even worse there was that dodgy crunching between the teeth that lets you instantly know something isn’t right.
I took one more hesitant bite to affirm my first thoughts. Yep the worse Brie and prosciutto sandwich I have had in my life. As another fly zipped by towards the food i quickly checked out.

Long layover? Sit down, relax and have a flight of wine. My girlfriend and I love wine and this place has a great selection of it, so while we had a long layover in the Philly airport we decided to stop and drink some. We started with two flights of wine and one order of olives. It was the perfect combination. All the wines were delicious. We even had a full glass after the tastings. Nothing like being a little tipsy in the airport. The experience was perfect. The staff was very friendly as well.
I would hang out here next time I am at the Philly airport.

Headline: poor service (like uncomfortably so) and really high prices — as in the most glasses are around $ 12 – 14 dollars. Come on — this is an airport bar in between 2 terminals facing the security line. It sucks, because I love wine and hate flying so this would be perfect. Another complaint– for those of us who like to feel like effervescent pixies while drinking you will be disappointed to learn there are no bubbly wines. Again, come on peeps, if I can make that with my soda stream you can do that AT YOUR WINE BAR.
So on the plus side, I would have given this place only 2 stars save for the spacious seating, relatively reasonable good food options, and the free wifi. If, like me, you are so paralyzed with dread thinking about your flight that exorbitant prices and subpar service won’t phase you this is your spot.

I stopped in at the Vino Volo near terminal C in the PHL airport.
The wine selection was good, but the menu options were limited due to them running out of bread for making any of the sandwich offerings.
No worries. I ordered up a Central Coast Pinot Noir and a salad. The service at the bar was excellent, and outlet plugs ran all along the length of the bar for charging up devices while you dined/​worked.
The wine was very good, the prices were reasonable and the meal service was prompt.
I will definitely stop here again the next time I am changing through Philly!

Service was very laid back. The wine was expensive but tasteful. It s fun getting flights. The sandwich I ordered had obviously been made earlier in the day or ?? The bread was very hard on one side. When I said something to the server he just sort of said, «oh». Not very nice esp. for the price they ask in this airport.
I suggest go to Chickie and Pete s.

Nice place to take a break from a crowd, it’s tucked away in a corner. A bit overpriced, total bill for 2 glasses of wine and a charcuterie board was $ 55 incuding tip. Overall, not bad by airport standards.

A nice diversion from the normal airport fare. Quiet, comfortable, and very tasty food selection that is shoulders above the normal greasy airport sandwich. Small but decent selection of old word and new world wines that are moderately priced considering it is in an airport. Would definitely return on next stop through philly.
Service was top notch as well.

Rolled up to the bar with 15 minutes before my flight. No one waiting & the waitress refused to pour a glass of wine cuz it wasn’t the right glass.’ She said Your gonna have to wait until the ‘right’ glasses get to the bar, that way I know how much to pour.’
When asking her if I could give some constructive feedback to her manager about keeping a measuring device behind the bar to increase sales, her reply was, ‘I’m not the owner I don’t make the rules, but if I was. The wine would be free and I’d be pouring it down your throats.’
I understand that people in airports can be in a rush. But if you chose to serve the public being sarcastic and rude to customers is no way to represent yourself or the company you work for. Needless to say
I will not be returning.

Vino Volo is a great alternative to the fast food places at the food court. The goat cheese salad with chicken is a great pre-​flight meal. And with $ 2.00 «Cellar» tastes (simply download the app and show it to your friendly bartender), this place brings civilization into this hectic terminal. The servers are attentive and prompt. On the day I visited, the bartender on duty charged me for an appetizer I did not order. She found the mistake and quickly corrected it as I was already walking out. Thanks for the great service!

This was about what I’d expect from an airport wine bar. The wine was a little pricey, with the cheapest (but still good) being $ 8. But that’s not too bad for an airport drink.
When I first got there, I waited a good 5 minutes until someone acknowledged me (granted, it was almost full), but then they were very friendly after that.
I ordered the Prosciutto and Brie sandwich. It was tasty, but small and not too filling for an $ 11 sandwich. There also wasn’t much (or any, possibly) Brie cheese on the second half of my sandwich. When there was Brie, everything meshed well and the fig spread was a really nice touch to bring together the prosciutto and Brie.
For the airport, its probably some of the best food you can get. And they have outlets at each seat of the bar so you can charge up, which is nice. But would I stop here after arriving at PHL, when I could eat anywhere in the city? No.

Great spot! We always stop in on the way out. Wines are great. Excellent cheese plate. Check out the Loyalty program!

White wine flight $ 12.00 — two Californian and one Italian. Very relaxing spot to hang out and watch planes.
I also ordered the Duck Spread ($ 12) which was a duck pâté with crostini, olive jam and grilled onions. The serving of duck pâté was huge and my last crostini was piled high! Although you’re paying premium prices, for some reason it feels fine since you’re getting a classy experience.

Wine lovers rejoice! Vino Volo (can I call them «Double V»?) is an oasis in the bustle of Philadelphia International Airport. Ever since hearing about this place, I’d been eager to have an excuse to take a flight, just so I could try VV. The service is awesome.
Since I didn’t know when the next time we would be in PHL would be, we decided to go the flight route. We had two wine flights, one with a California theme and one with a winter theme. Each came with a helpful informational paper coaster, and the waitress took the time to explain each individual wine. Nice touch!
The food was great, and a notch above your typical airport food fare. Since half-​sizes were available, we decided to go for them so we could get a wider variety of food. All of the meat was well-​cured, definitely feeling like «food to be enjoyed with wine.» We went for the braised pork tacos, brie and prosciutto sandwich, and smoked salmon rolls — the salmon was especially delicious, but I enjoyed all of them.
Veni vidi vici. Vino Volo. You’re gonna love the Double V.
