Le Volte - Livorno

Historic restaurant, with very nice atmosphere. View of the port which creates a beautiful sight. The first part of the lunch went quite well. We sat down at 1pm, everything went normally, once the water was finished it was asked for but not brought, the appetizers arrived, very good, unfortunately not all the guests took them. I order water and wine again. Which are brought after a while. We see that all the other tables receive appetizers, first courses and second courses with the normal waiting times. As time goes by the waiters come to check the tables and also look at our table. At 2.15pm I point out that we are still waiting for the first ones. The waiter replies that he will take care of it immediately. At 2.45pm I get up from the table and talk to the older waiter. After a couple of minutes he comes to our table and tells us that the first courses will arrive in five minutes. It 's 3.10pm the first courses arrive, very good, we announce that given the time we will no longer take the second courses. After that I explain to the head waiter that in a professional service you can also make mistakes, but some people at the table waited more than two hours for a plate of pasta. More attention is needed, also because after the first hour the thing had already been pointed out. Saying sorry in the same way you say good evening, without doing anything concrete, sounds like a mockery. We also had to wait to pay and the owner asked me if we wanted a coffee. Result, my daughter 's birthday ruined, seven customers lost. Think about it...

The name should be changed from Le vault to la volta , the first and the last. Tourist restaurant, medium-low quality food, long wait for the second course and price not in line with the quality offered. Not a good experience Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Small restaurant that tastes typical of Livorno! Dishes accompanied by excellent wines and waiters whose kindness is disarming. Advised Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €40–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Impepata Di Cozza, Frittura Di Pesce, Paccheri Pistacchio E Tonno, Tris Di Antipasti Del Giorno

We came across this place by chance while walking around the city, a nearby restaurant had been recommended to us but it was closed, we decided to stop for dinner. Nice atmosphere, elegant place, discreet service, food to be honest disappointing. A fake decoration of the dishes with a slice of orange and salad, in 80s style, poor quality raw materials and miserable portions. The cacciucco: good if there had been fish, just mussels, a few octopus tentacles and half a cuttlefish. Ceesecake had the taste of a panna cotta. As a connoisseur, I would recommend reviewing the cuisine a bit.
