La Dea Partenope In Cascina

06/04/2024: One word to describe this place: Impeccable. Many words, however, to tell my experience here at Life Bistrot 🤗 I went on holiday to Volterra and found myself on the first day of the restaurant reopening for the Easter period... I was very excited to "test it": the reviews were excellent and the photos of the dishes spoke for themselves. Expectations were even exceeded! The place is nice on the outside, I would have eaten outside but it was very windy, so I went in and... that glass floor with the Etruscan remains on display is incredible! Clean place, well cared for in style, humble and kind owner, helpful and smiling waitress 😊 For the first course I chose the ancient grain tagliatelle which were so delicious that I made the slipper! 😁 For the second course I wanted a dish that contained legumes so I chose the vegetable flan with chickpeas (new this year): nothing short of extraordinary! Even the strong garlic flavor was phenomenal, but maybe I would specify it because maybe not everyone likes it! I was already full but the curiosity to taste the chocolate and coconut cake won, and I did very well to take it: the heat of the cake contrasted with the cold of the cream, and I liked this a lot! In short, a riot of flavors, in defiance of those who say that 100% vegetable food is tasteless! I challenge you to come and eat here and say otherwise!! Excellent value for money, given the refinement of the dishes and the quality of the food. I would go back more often if it was closer. The only discordant notes: the cold inside the room; the rather narrow bathrooms could do with a little renovation.

31/03/2024: At the Life Bistrot you eat, for lunch or dinner, on a Plexiglas plateau which allows you to appreciate the remains of Etruscan and Roman antiquities. Great attention to raw materials, good variety of choice on the menu. All the dishes were delicious, from starters to desserts. Extremely courteous service. To try!
