Volterra's charm lies not only in its history but in the peaceful surrounding countryside where statuesque cypress trees, grain-filled plains and magnificent rolling hills enhance a slow, traditional way of life. Fresh ingredients are abundant down every narrow cobblestone street — from the tiny fresh produce stand to the traditional butcher shop.
The town of Volterra sparks a culinary idea at every turn and was the inspiration of Chef Curtiss' menu. Chandeliers, sconces, and hanging alabaster light fixtures designed by Michelle and carved by artisans in Volterra adorn the restaurant, paying tribute to the many friends Michelle and Don have made. With Don's 20 years of culinary success complemented by Michelle's business savvy and sparkling personality in the front of the house, the duo aspire to bring the warmth and charm of Tuscany to Seattle's Historic Ballard Neighborhood.
