- Tuscan menu
- Best of Citysearch 2005
- Gourmet 11/05, NY Times 7/05
Inspired by the warm, traditional Tuscan hilltop town by the same name, Volterra features the bold-flavored, Tuscan-inspired menu of award-winning Chef Don Curtiss.
Chef Curtiss has a long history and following in the Northwest. He received acclaim as "One of America's Most Innovative Chefs", from Wine Spectator while serving as the opening chef of Andaluca. He was also named "One of America's Top 26 Chefs" by Italian Cooking and Living.
Volterra's dining room is inviting with rich red walls; chocolate-brown leather and textiles; and dark woods offset by alabaster light fixtures hand-carved in Volterra, Italy.
"Don Curtiss' lush, imaganitive eats bring a breath of fresh air to the local Italian restaurant scene." Zagat America's Top Restaurants 2006
"That fine tuned quality is part of the welcome suprise that is Volterra." Nancy Leson, Seattle Times
Tips
- Group Dining
Groups up to 30 people can be accomodated; a buy-out of the entire restaurant is also an option. The space is also available for private events on weekdays before 4pm.
- When to Go
Volterra also offers a popular weekend brunch, featuring Italian-inspired breakfast dishes like chestnut pancakes.
- The Extras
The tabletop fennel salt is for sale at the restaurant and at gourmet markets around town.
- What to Drink
There's a lengthy wine list, but try a European-influenced cocktail--the white peach thyme Bellini, made with prosecco, peach juice, bitters and fresh thyme, is a winner.
- Where to Sit
On a nice evening, a spot on the patio is worth its weight in gold--reservations are necessary to guarantee a seat.

We had my friends' graduation dinner here. The food was great and the service was attentive but not pretentious. We had a couple bottles of wine, one of them tasted funny and they gladly exchanged it for a new bottle.
Pros: Attentive Service
Cons: Parking
 The Bar Outshines the Restaurant

I had relatively high expectations. Just as another reviewer noted, I too have been to Volterra, and this is not that food. That said; we were built up very well at the bar for our mild disappointment in the food. It has been about two years since I have been back, but the signature cocktails and the cheese plate we had still gave me lasting impressions. They also make an incredible cappuccino.
My advivce is to go and have a casual experience with a date and get sloshed at the bar.
Pros: Good drinks and appetizers.
Cons: The food was decent but not worth the price.
I went on a date there and it was fab

I was there last night for dinner and had a great time. The waiter tended to our needs as my date and I sat and chatted taking our sweet time.. He never once made us feel rushed and the food was great.
Two cocktails and i was feeling a nice little buzz so thanks to the bar tender...
i would recommend Volterra
