    Cocktails & Food were great. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this place killed it. Beet salad was very good, Brussels sprouts were amazing as was the Steak Frites. Service was excellent. My wife & I split everything and it was perfect. Well done!

    I think that this was my 6th visit to Rimini and it always delivers great food, energetic ambience with a friendly accommodating staff. The classic chicken parm was exquisite while my friend thought the Veal risotto was delicious. Despite my multiple visits this place never gets old and was crowded even at 4:30 in the afternoon! Obviously the word is out about this fantastic restaurant. You definitely need to make reservations.

    Volterra was very accommodating when we asked to move to a table where we could sit side by side. Their tables are rectangular--so sitting across from your dinner partner felt like we had to strain to hear conversation. When we moved it was great. The food was delicious--very fresh with pasta cooked perfectly. The non-alcoholic cocktails were perfect. The service and waitstaff were wonderful1 This was a great restaurant to gather and celebrate a birthday.
