Ristorante Etruria In Volterra

Truly Exceptional – Warm People, Beautiful Setting, and the Best Lasagna I’ve Ever Had We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Ristorante Etruria in Volterra. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and kindness. They immediately brought out a bowl of water for our French bulldog, Luigi, and treated him as if he were their own. It set the tone for what turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in Italy. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful inside – classic Tuscan charm with elegant stone arches, warm lighting, and tasteful décor that feels both refined and welcoming. You can tell it’s a place that takes pride in its history and hospitality. I ordered the lasagna, and it was simply perfect — rich, delicate layers, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, it was as good as the best I’ve ever had anywhere in my life. My wife had the tagliatelle al ragù, and it was every bit a 10 out of 10 — silky fresh pasta, a sauce bursting with depth and authenticity. The service was exceptional throughout — attentive without being intrusive, and filled with genuine smiles. What made it even more special was that the owner personally followed us out as we were leaving to thank us after we told him how much we loved the meal. That kind of heartfelt appreciation is rare and unforgettable. Everything — from the food and wine to the atmosphere and hospitality — was pure Tuscany at its finest. If you find yourself in Volterra, do yourself a favor and make this your meal stop. You’ll leave full, happy, and feeling like family.

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The tagliatelle with truffle was incredible.

Perfect service always with a smile and recognition of returning customer, taking care about details, great food, very nice location! Thank you

Perfect!!! Small restaurant, impressive ambiance and menu, a little hidden in the corner of the piazza - luckily

Pretty good food, a bit oily but that’s to be expected. Good spot, the atmosphere was pretty good. Service was pretty fast but not super warm, however we were given a free bottle of wine. Overall, a good experience.

We had a lovely lunch is a beautiful setting quite by accident. We happened to be in Volterra and hungry. ETRURIA fit the bill. Tuna salad platter and Stromboli were delicious and fresh. We were only 2 people but the lovely greeter went out of her way to make sure we could have a table inside the restaurant. Thank you and good luck.

Fine but not exceptional. Nice location on the square.

Very friendly staff and we really enjoyed the pizza and the pasta. I had the Tiramisu for dessert which was so delicious. Would recommend!

Wonderful staff and delicious food. Six treated us very well, very friendly, 100% recommended.

Spaghetti for €15 was a rather small portion. It was lukewarm. It tasted very good. Beautifully located on the square in the "center"
