Osteria La Pace Volterra — Restaurant in Volterra

My wife and I took the last night of our honeymoon in at Osteria La Pace - unfortunately we felt let down (and I'm not sure of other's opinions, but with dining in Volterra in general?).

While we enjoyed a warm welcome and placed our orders, even receiving our starters promptly if felt like we were forgotten after that.

Several other parties arrived after us, placed their orders and were served before we were.

When our dishes arrived they got my order wrong and tried to tell me there wasn't meat in the dish (I wouldn't mind but I am a vegetarian and there Was meat in the dish!).

We were singled out by the other, apparently local patrons at the restaurant (confirmed by the eye contact we received when leaving the restaurant) for raising these issues with the staff!

I have no idea why this restaurant rates as well as it does for Volterra, I would strongly reconsider eating here given the amount of poor and average reviews...

Stopped by because my family and I wanted to try the real toscan food. And it was beyond delicious is all homemade tasty and a real local flavor. Antonio make sure we get the right dishes for our journey. He is beyond great. I think he is part of the restaurant success because he is a non stop worker. Happy attentive helpful and to top it off our day he made the right recommendations and almost at the end he took some of his time to show some other customers the kind of music they listen on his country. And they even dance. It made me feel like home with all my family having a little party. The tiramisu is a must try. !!!!! My family says is the best one...

Fantastic place to be! Service was perfect. We got very good advices regarding the food from the waiter, followed it in full and never regret that decision. Food was awesome. Pasta with wild boar and Florentine steak were fantastic. Deserts were delicious. At the end of the dinner we were offered some pieces of watermelon by the owner who was sitting in the restaurant and enjoying and sharing his watermelon with everybody around. Absolutely nice and friendly atmosphere. Too bad we had been in Volterra for one evening only. Otherwise,we would definitely come again. Maybe...
