As a Ballard resident, I must say they have worked miracles transforming the tired Burk's space to sexy. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and immediately told us that Volterra is named after the town in Tuscany where Chef and his wife were married. The menu is extensive and it was hard to make a decision on what to eat. We settled on the Bruschetta Volterra which was a heavenly puree of porcini mushrooms, truffles, and grilled artichokes. For entrees, a housemade pasta filled with grilled shrimp, leeks and walnuts and the veal scallopine with morels. We couldn't pass up the lucious chestnut honey panna cotta which was a dream. The wine list is reasonably priced and filled with notable bottles. I must say the cofee service is impressive- served on a silver tray. I already have my next meal planned.
