Life Bistrot - Plant Based Restaurant in Tuscany

Beautiful location with outdoor seating in a charming side street of Volterra, close to the main piazza. Super friendly service. Interesting meny and creative plant-based concept. Good food, though we think som of the plates could have more depth in flavor. Overall, a very nice experience – definitely recommend!

Marvelous vegan food. Entirely Gluten Free. Family of four and we had everything we possibly could. Pea soup the lentil roll were amazing. Aubergine dish and Life pizza were delicious too. We also had dessert chocolate pie and tiramisu ALL VEGAN all gluten free food.

Incredible! This was the best vegetarian/vegan food we had in all of Tuscany. Every dish was delicious and unique, and very well-priced. It is on a very peaceful side street which made for a delightful experience. The owner was so sweet and was very careful about dietary restrictions. He also makes THE BEST gluten free bread of all time! Please do yourself a favor and come eat here!

Such a beautiful find! We were not expecting to find a vegan restaurant in Volterra and were so happy to come across this gem; it’s a beautiful restaurant, with glass floors where you can see an ancient road and well through. The owner was incredibly warm and kind and the food was delicious. My dad was born and raised in Italy, and he thought it was fantastic. They also use local and organic ingredients. Even if you are a meat eater, this is worth the visit!

While we are not vegetarian nor vegan we wanted to give it a try based on positive reviews. We like to search out restaurants that offer something slightly different and this place fit the bill. I had the spicy lentil chapati and the handmade gnocchi. My friends had the Pici pasta and ancient wheat chard pesto, followed by a total vegan Tiramisu. On a lovely side street we dined on the patio. Staff was friendly and the service efficient.

This was one of my favourite experiences of all Tuscany trip so far. The kindest staff, really made me feel welcome, the cute girl as well :) The food and wine were incredibly good and I had a direct view into the gallery. The ambience was so good, I left in a better mood than I came in.

Without a doubt, Life Bistrot is among the top vegan restaurants in Italy (and in Europe!). My wife and I had dinner there and also lunch the day after, in order to try as many items of the menu as possible. Every dish is top notch, made with fresh organic ingredients, very tasty, presented extremely well, and even balanced from a nutritional point of view. The owner is a fantastic person and always willing to explain all the dishes and even the history of thr restaurant and the associated hotel in town. Personally I would particularly recommend the pici (especially if you like pepper), the seitan which is otherworldly, and the melanzana "alla parmigiana", but make sure you don't miss the desserts! If I could give this place 6 stars out of 5, I would. I hope I'll be back soon!

Warm welcome as soon as we came in. The staff is really gentle and passionate about their products. The quality and freshness of their food is unbeatable and each dish is beatifully plated. We loved everything we ate, with special mention to the vegan chickpea cheese and the tiramisú.
