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!

We had an excellent time at Life Bistrot. The owner spent so much time with us explaining the history of Volterra and the story behind the food. Food was delicious and creative

We had been there on 1st of october. Such a lovely place to be and eat. The cuisine was vegan, regional and without any industrial sugar. The owners and the service were just heartfelt und spend much time on detailled explanations about the menu. Thanks so much for having us.

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.

An absolutely incredible restaurant! The server (maybe the owner?) was extremely welcoming and accommodating, and he recommended dishes that were to die for. Everything was so yummy, and the gluten free bread was truly outstanding! The restaurant is located on a shaded street of art galleries, and even on a 90 degree summer day it was a cool place to rest. Plus there are 2500 year old ruins under the restaurant that they have displayed which is so cool!
