Volterra - Seattle

The service was excellent as the wine choices. The Antipasta plate was very unique and good. My Halibut Entre did not taste like Halibut and was very fishy smell and tasting. I sent it back. The blessing was very gracious and brought me another escape. The other guest dinner wasn't great. The pig hard and chewing, another pasta dish was very salty. Great wine selection. It was a bit cold sitting on the windows, but it was private and we could all hear each other talking, not always the case in some restaurants.

Very good Italian fare with fairly attentive staff. Unfortunately Volterra's lease has run out, and they're looking for another space someplace in Ballard. So there will be some changes soon. I had the eggplant pouches which were delicious. Others enjoyed some gluten-free options. The salads are fresh and delicious. The night we were there, the place was packed, including one very large table that did suck up some of the servers time. Still it's a relaxing spot to reconnect with friends. Hope the new spot is as welcoming.

Celebrated a birthday. It was very quiet and relaxing. Servers were attentive and gave as a wonderful experience. I will be returning.

I'm sorry to see this place nearby. Volterra's will soon find a new location in Ballard. Food and wine was always very high quality, the service at this New Year's Eve was a little harassed and had trouble with the orders, but it was a packed house. Overall a very good experience.

We had a beautiful Christmas meal in Volterra, our first visit to the restaurant. The server was particularly attentive and brought us an unexpected dessert to share at the end of the meal. In addition, the $18 lunch deal for two courses seemed like a grandiose deal - I loved my lamb meatballs (appearants) and pork jowls mushrooms ' pasta (main dish). I can recommend this restaurant for others for weekend lunch.
