1 February 2025 Wonderful final meal!! We chose to come back for our last dinner in Volterra - lasagne with ragu of Chianina (Italian breed of large white cattle), pici (hand rolled spaghetti with cacio, pepe, lemon and pistachio, and a cinghiale (wild boar) stew. It was the perfect finish to our stay in Volterra! 29 January 2025 Wonderful meal! We had an incredibly enjoyable meal here - pappardelle al cianghiale (wild boar), tortelloni burrata pommodoro e pinoli (tomato and pine nuts) and guancia vittello al chianti (veal cheeks in chianti). This is Tuscan cuisine at its very best!!

Atmospheric restaurant. Very tasty dishes (we ate rabbit with tomatoes, the portion was large and amazingly tasty), excellent white wine (as recommended by the waiter). We were very pleased and if we get to Volterra again, we will choose the same place.

Very good food, especially the carbonara and parmigiana. The pizza is very tasty The ambient is very cute and they make food right behind the counter. The waiters are very kind. And they pour your beer almost outside.

It was our first day in Volterra, and we made a reservation at this restaurant. We started with cheese and bruscetta, then moved on to pasta with pork and another with veal. We then finished the meal with rabbit (which was delicious). We finished the meal with tiramisu and mascarpone and amaretto for dessert. I thought the place was lovely, the service was a little slow, but it was definitely worth it.
