Fantastic place to eat in or to shop!…read more
Volterra is a beautiful place. We came here on a weekday and there were some tourists, but it's far from being overcrowded. A great place to spend a few hours.
Strolling around we got quite a bit hungry. Then we came across this place. And I remembered reading good reviews about it, so we went for it.
It's a mix between a small restaurant (just a handful of tables in the back) and a butchery / deli shop.
There's plenty of fresh cut meats to choose from (Salami, Ham, Sausages) and it also has a good range of sweets and cookies and lots of other products. There's a good selection of cheese also. Either eat-in other take-away (bring home).
We took a seat in the back and ordered a plate of cut meats with Crostinis for just 10 Euro. And a small bottle of Prosecco for 7 Euro. The meat was really good. Presentation nice. Way above you average Salami and Ham. Nice spices and flavours.
Besides the sweets they also sell lots of other special italian products. Olive Oil, Limoncello and other liquors and lots of truffle products (truffle honey, truffle spread with parmesan etc.), also chutneys, jam and much more. All really good stuff! We bought quite a bunch of their products to bring home and they taste fantastic.
Service / staff was really great and helpful and took a lot of time explaining their products. And - quite unusual for this kinda place - our dog was welcome too. They even brought a huge bowl of water for her.
A great great place. Really the kind of place you wanna spend an hour or two in Italy. Highly recommended!
