The Life Bistrot - Plant Based Restaurant - Archaeological Site In Volterra

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.

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!

The place is built with bricks and concrete. At the entrance, on the floor, there are finds from ancient populations. The owner, like all the staff, is extremely courteous and helpful. The Margherita pizza is one of the best I have ever tasted and the desserts are also of excellent quality.

I have never enjoyed a vegan pizza as much as I did here. All the dishes were well prepared and presentation was splendid. It gives you the feel of a fine dining tasting menu place with excellent quality . The owner is passionate about food and this reflects in the food he serves. Cannot wait to visit again.

Really very nice place in the splendid historic center of Volterra. It's spectacular to eat with your feet on an Etruscan well. Great location, very kind staff and truly exquisite dishes! The wine is excellent. The menu offers a lot of choice, the dishes are aesthetically beautiful and delicious in flavour, perfectly combined with each other. The desserts are also excellent. Super recommended restaurant!!
