Airport Food

By weeklyvolcano on September 13, 2006

It’s not every day that I can say airport food tastes good.  Volare Café Italiano in the Olympia Airport Terminal redefines the experience of grabbing a bite before your flight â€" not that a lot of commercial flights leave this airport.  It was deserted on my visit.  The restaurant, however, is turning heads with its great take on Italian cuisine.  The spaghetti ragù was a delight â€" a large plate of thick noodles in a ragù sauce with chunks of beef, basil and Parmesan.  I’m going back to try one of the signature paninis and pretend I am waiting for a loved one to land.  Best thing is I didn’t see a TSA employee anywhere.  7022 Airport Terminal S.W., Tumwater, (360) 357-6997. â€" Jason de Paul
