L'Antico Ristoro 2 In Pisa

07/01/2026: A lunch for two in a trattoria in the center of Volterra, chosen by chance while strolling from one museum to another. The place is charming and welcoming, in the typical rustic style of the village's ancient buildings and trattorias. We chose two exceptional first courses: potato gnocchi with Chianina ragù and herb pici with crumbled crouton, followed by a terrine of vegetable soup and a terrine of stewed wild boar with olives. Both were delicious, although for the wild boar, I strongly recommended that the chef use local black olives, either salted or sun-dried, rather than the usual chemically colored pitted olives in brine. Truly a tasteful journey through the flavors of Volterra's cuisine in a warm and harmonious setting that I highly recommend trying if you're passing through Volterra. The only drawback is that the prices are certainly a little above average, and the portions are smaller than you might expect from an osteria.
