La Carabaccia, born from this love of age old flavours found in the Tuscan cusine, the passion for traditional tastes has been passed down to us from our grandmother, which we today, Sara and Patrizia, have the pleasure of sharing with you. The cusine of

I'm a firm believer in eating where the locals eat. Arriving for lunch, the restaurant was full of Tuscans in what looked like a typical dining room. No gimmicks, pretty tablecloths, family photos on the walls and lovely staff. The menu is short, very short. Two choices of first and second course, however each one tasted wonderful. Proper, hearty cooking and served simply in a warm surrounding, what more can you ask for? I suspect that the menu changes regularly but I suspect the standards remain the same. Two course each and some water came to under 30 quid, bargain!

We had a casual cafeteria-style lunch at Vecchia Lira while visiting Volterra on a day trip from nearby San Gimignano. This restaurant has two dining areas, a front room beside a long food counter (where the available lunch items were on display and where we sat) and a full dining room in the back. Lunch is "self-service" meaning that you order at the counter and carry your food to an available table. We shared a hearty soup and a meat dish, both of which were good and very reasonably priced.

One only need read earlier reviews of Del Duca to see that this restaurant is indeed something very special and our experience of it was identical. Food of the highest quality, inventive but not pretentious in execution. Every mouthful an absolute delight. From the exterior you might not give this gem a second look but walk in and in summer youâll be shown through to a lovely outdoor terrace which is a perfect place to enjoy a fabulous meal. But go there soon as this must surely become the goto restaurant in this region of Tuscany.

Wish we had found this earlier during our stay. Anything we saw on the various tables and our own choice was tasty and very well made. The cold cuts are great, Lasagne perfect, Tiramisu as well. Even simple Bruschetta with Tartufo was a new experience. Recommended. Nice decoration under the roof.

We were staying right near by and came here based on the reviews and also because of its convenient location near our accommodation. Note; we drove past the place in both directions twice because the sign, a large yellow one, reads "Ristorante Camere" and you cannot see that "Il Boschetto" is written in very small lettering above the part which reads ristorante camere. We gave up looking for it and decided to come here only to find we were in the right place. Don't let that stop you. With no reservations on a Thursday evening we were given a nice outside table for four at 7:30pm and had a great time. We all had pasta and some grilled meat dishes and house wine of course. The woman and young man who served us were very helpful and also spoke good english. A great choice if you are in the area, don't pass it up!

... and you have the view, the taste and the tuscan style. Located nearby a panoramic view point overlooking the region from Volterra walls, this spot is away from the crowds. Prefect service, great local wines by the glass. And the food, while you have a very light upprice vs. classical tourist traps, is absolutely gorgeous. For instance their tomato and olives risotto is perfect. Great spot.

The place in the small but amazing village off the beaten track. But it is well worth visiting. The food is so amazing and staff friendly and attentive. The ambience of the place is glorious.The place offers some very special meat dishes (secondi) with recipes dating to rennasaince.

Absolutely worth it! We came spontaneously at 7.40 pm and got a table straight away. Later the restaurant filled up, so a reservation can be helpful. The place is family run and everybody was really nice and helpful.We ordered a typical soup, pasta with wild boar ragout and ravioli with celery pesto. Everything was really good! Our favourite was the wild boar pasta.

Even in October you need to stand in a queue but it is really worth waiting! The paninis / sandwiches are made fresh and you can choose whatever you like to have inside your sandwich. Amazing cheese, sauces and of course traditional tuscan meat.
