Volta serves heavenly Mediterranean food, including wraps, lamb & beef and chicken gyros, and Greek pizzas. Try the Greek salad topped with fried chicken, or the hearty tomato soup/pita melt combo. The huge patio is one of the most popular in town, with fans to keep you cool on hot days. Enjoy half-price margaritas and new frozen mojitos served every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, but get there early because this place can get packed! (Back to top of page)
