L'Incontro

Top choice in Volterra


L'Incontro's rear salone is a top spot to grab a quick antipasto plate or panino for lunch, and its front bar area is always crowded with locals enjoying a coffee or aperitivo. The house-baked biscuits are noteworthy – try the chewy and nutty brutti mai buoni (ugly but good) or its alabaster-coloured cousin, ossi di morto (bones of the dead).

There's also a short but sound selection of Tuscan wines by the glass (€4 to €8).
