I don't know why it took me so long to visit this place. We've been in the neighborhood for 7 years and heard a lot about this restaurant. They have fresh pasta and fresh ingredients. My son had the pork and mushroom pasta and absolutely loved it. I got the seafood linguine and it was amazing. The pasta was made fresh and the tomato seafood sauce was on point. I would love to visit again!

I've been here a few times and really enjoyed it. Solid Italian food, decently priced, great service, and awesome location. We love an after (or before) dinner stroll to the Kirkland waterfront. Even though we've moved away from WA, this is a spot I remember fondly and recommend to people.

Food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. The food was elevated Italian. Food was too slow for my wife. The cocktails were just okay and very slow to make. The menu prices are a little on the high side.

A tremendous meal last night as we met some very good friends in Kirkland for a Sunday get together. We would definitely come back as the food and service was spectacular.Everything that was ordered was perfect. Our friends had the Mushroom Tagliolini and Lamb Meatballs. My wife had the Roasted Eggplant Pouches and I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese. It was one of the best Bolognese dishes I have ever experienced and the serving was surprisingly large, which allows me some special leftovers tonight. We all had different salads beforehand which were also excellent. My Caesar Salad was dressed just right. And of course the desserts were a wow. The Berries and Cream and the Tiramisu were just the right finishes to a great meal.Andras was also the perfect server who was so gracious and had incredible timing whenever anything was needed. Thank you Volterra for the experience last night. We will be back.

Pork jowl wild mushroom pasta was delicious! Enjoyed the variations they made on traditional cocktails like the "New Fashioned" with coffee beans. Really enjoyed the bread with olive oil and herbs. Only a couple blocks away from the waterfront so parking was challenging on a sunny evening.

Such a delight. Scrumptious food. We had the shrimp fettuccine. Lobster ravioli was a bit well done that it made it chewy but still yummy.Lobster bisque was the standout.Service was quick and welcoming.

It is so hit or miss. We had a great dinner one night and the worst dinner the next night. Brought people from out of town and no one wanted to even finish or take home their food. So sad. Used to be the best place in Seattle area

Double date night without kids! We enjoyed an excellent meal and wonderful service at Volterra. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The menu was quite challenging because I wanted to try everything! We started with a nice fresh and light burrata that was perfect t for a few bites each. with Two if us got the pork jowls with amazing fresh mushrooms, my wife got the crab ravioli that was delicious and my buddy got the delectable gnocchi. We can't wait to go back and try other menu items, I'm eyeing the boar tenderloin next time.

I was at Volterra on 3/10 with three others in my party. It started out with me ordering a soda and one of the others ordering hot water. Never got a refill on hot water and finally had to ask for a refill on the soda!We asked that one of the leftovers be boxed up in two boxes and the waiter would up throwing have the food out because he thought it was garbage and when we asked where the rest of the food is, he said he had thrown it out by mistake. They did not offer to take any $$ off the bill or cook up more to replace what they threw out by mistake!We spent good money and dine there frequently and this new waiter seems to be somewhat incompetent! We might have to take our business to the Italian restaurant a couple blocks away from now on!
