Il peschereccio volterra In Volterra

This fishmonger's is also a restaurant/osteria, where the food is excellent! In a city where meat reigns supreme, it offers a pleasant alternative.

Super fresh fish and tasty dishes! A truly pleasant stop.

Walking through the center of Volterra, we came across this fishmonger's restaurant. As soon as we entered, we appreciated the delicatessen display case offering various dishes and ready-made sauces, including cuttlefish and peas priced at €3.90 per 100g. When we sat down and read the menu, we saw that the price per portion was €18, so we imagined it would be a very generous dish, but instead it was probably 200g. Still, very good, but overpriced. The fried food was okay, nothing memorable. Finally, the worst part... The side salad was rotten from the bag and a chopped cherry tomato. I asked for an exchange because it was unsuitable for consumption, and they brought me another ugly-looking salad, probably the remaining leaves from the bag. €40 for 1 cuttlefish, 1 fried dish (squid and shrimp), 1 side dish (....) and two half-liters of water seems excessive to me (also considering the unpretentious location).

Small but excellent, top-quality fish. Discovered by chance, a fish shop where you can eat the fresh fish right there.

Strolling through the streets of Volterra around lunchtime, we decided to stop at this fishmonger's and eatery, tempted by the menu: hot and cold appetizers (shrimp with cream), snapper with clams and artichokes, spaghetti with clams, mussels, and fried fish... Inside, past the fishmonger's counter, there are a few tables where you can have lunch. The courteous and attentive staff served us memorable dishes. The spaghetti with clams was amazing, the fried calamari and cod was melt-in-your-mouth and just the right amount of salt, and last but not least, the inevitable cantucci (delicious and flavored with orange) with Vin Santo. It was a lunch that made our experience in the enchanting village of Volterra even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

A very, very nice place to taste fresh seafood away from the sea... delicious fish and seafood... a fish and chips place like from a fairy tale...

Dining at Il Peschereccio is definitely a fantastic experience! The food, especially the fish, is incredibly fresh and delicious. The restaurant is simple but very clean. We wholeheartedly recommend Il Peschereccio.

Really great rustic fish fry joint. If you are eating in the composed plates are good, but the fish fry is amazing.

Excellent fried fish and vegetables and delicious cacciucco dish of the day!!!

Everything good, friendly and genuine
