La Vecchia Lira

The place owned by local, definitely worth to visit but you have to book in advance to be able to dine in here, table only available inside with very nice decor and ambiance, feel warm like home.
The food splendid, mussels soup taste so good big portion worth to try. They have another big mix seafood soup too.
Steak with cream of zucca also amazing, it served medium rare the best to enjoy the original taste os the meat.
Tartare so fresh and melting in tour mouth.
Beef burger cooked welldone and taste so good.
Panna cotta 🍮 with salty caramel taste like cream cheese cake different type but taste good.
Overall the taste of the food superb and highly Recommended.
The service ok with busy lunch the food come in time.
Have to try when you visit Volterra with reservations in advance.

Must visit restaurant. Great Fiorentina steak, best tiramisu ever. even better service, relaxed ambient. #1 restaurant in Volterra. We will be back for sure.

Had a great time at this Tuscan spot in Volterra! 🍝 The beef tartare was a tasty surprise, and the pappardelle al cinghiale hit the spot. The vibe is cozy, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend for a chill dining experience! 👍🏼

Nice restaurant, with good food and friendly staff. The pasta with truffle was delicious!!

Oh my goodness me. If you’re after a meal that is a little more upscale than your standard (very good) pasta or pizza restaurant, you’ve come to the right place.
Being predictable types, we all went for the wild boar steak and… wow! So good. Cheesecake desserts were insanely fine, the wine extremely reasonably priced and they even threw in some free espresso at the end of the meal. The staff were also very polite about my dreadful Italian and helpfully provided menus in English.
First courses are around €14 with main course €18-20 plus €5 for a side dish. We had 4 mains, 2 puddings and half a litre of wine (plus the free espresso) and it was less than €120 for some of the best food we’ve had in ages. Go visit!

This lovely little restaurant offers fantastic value authentic Italian food. My girlfriend is coeliac and immediately they offer gluten free bread and pasta. The steak is tender and with wine cheap but delicious.

Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Was here with my Italian partner but staff also spoke English very well. Food was amazing. I have a wheat allergy and they had ample options and an extensive gluten free menu. Come and enjoy!

Truly exceptional food even by Tuscan standards. Very nice interpretation of classic dishes such as spaghetti with vongole, asparagus lemon and goat cheese or wild boar ragù with pine nuts and cocoa. A fantastic experience and a good end for our Italian trip.

Highly recommend eating here. Really good food prepared to order. Menu changes but for good reason. It’s seasonal but focused on regional fare. The staff is accommodating and helpful. Best of all its really affordable. There is also a lunch cafeteria style serving during the day. Plenty of seating inside for groups or a cozy couple.

Great host, outstanding food and atmosphere. one of the best places to eat in Volterra. We had great fish 🐟 and tagialoni with truffels. One of this places where the owner really cares about the people around, kitchen and your experience during the meal. Highly recommended.

The service was more than friendly! And the food was amazing! My boyfriend and I shared 2 starters and 2 main dishes and were super full! 100% recommended!!🦑😊

A really cost tavern style restaurant. Food was very tasty. The owner makes everyone feel at home, and that's something that brings great warmth

Great authentic Italian food.
Plenty of gluten free options.
Very friendly staff

Not a simple restaurant; it‘s a journey into the flavours of tuscany with extraordinary, friendly stuff. Four years ago we were here the day before our wedding with all of our guests… everyone was excited. Now we came back, nothing has changed. :-) *****

Great food and service. Staff is very kind and professionnal. Prices are absolutely okay (we spent 42€ for 2 starters, 2 main dishes, water and wine.

Fabulous family run local restaurant. Food is great, well prepared and served with different options on the day off the usual menu. Optimum effort to make variations and something different for your dining pleasure. Local dishes are superb and even the fish was enjoyable. They will even go so far as to accept requests and menu changes. Staff are great, friendly and helpful. Restaurant is dead centre so you can only walk to it. Good wine selection. Well recommended!

Great place if you want to taste Tuscan dishes. Not expensive, great value.

Great experience. The restaurant is popular among locals, so the food you find is authentic with traditional dishes of the region. The staff is very friendly; one of the dishes we ordered was unfortunately not available and they apologized and recommended us an alternative, one for the same price which was very good (pasta with fresh seafood). The price of the dishes is fair and the quality quite high. As dessert we had tiramisu, and even though it is in general not my favorite option, this one was very good. All in all it is a great choice.

We had lunch here and tried the curry chicken and also some tortellinis. Both really delicious. Portions are a bit small though… if you are really hungry will probably need to order first and second course and therefore pay more (around 40pP with something to drink)… which I personally find a bit to expensive considering the location and the service are rather normal…

Such delicious food and the staff were lovely. Best lemon sorbet ever!
