Restaurant Il Sacco Fiorentino

The young people that run this lovely restaurant in the very centre of Volterra, with two roomy locals, have spiced up the Tuscan menu with international touches and made it a moderately priced and friendly neighbourhood hangout.

The polenta served with wild boar and porcini al ragù is excellent, as is the odd "tagliatelle de sacco", fresh pasta enveloped in saffron-chicken sauce studded with fresh vegetables. For a secondo, try "costolette d'agnello gratinate con carciofi" (broiled lamb chops with artichokes).

Price per person: around 25€
