    The food was OK but not outstanding. The service was not as attentive as we would expect. A disappointment considering the ‘Michelin’ sign posted at the entrance

    Food was wonderful. Complimentary cold truffle soup akin to vichyssoise and at end limoncello. Waiter was distant at beginning warmed somewhat as we ordered. Hostess was charming and won the night. Menu was truffle abundant. Veal filet was top beef entree which was excellent. For Michelin restaurant, pricing was a value.

    2nd visit here. Really nice service and food, spoiled by a couple of things. Firstly the trio of pannacotta was watery and that was because there was a pool of water in each ceramic spoon. We’d had it before so it was disappointing compared with our first experience. The waiter and the manager dealt with it well by removing the dishes from our bill. Secondly, the place has quite an echo and a large table of raucous Americans made conversation difficult. Regardless the food was excellent and we enjoyed our lunch. We will be back I’m sure.

    This restaurant has top notch gourmet food in a cozy lovely atmosphere. Service was very good and would highly recommend this place for a special lunch or dinner. Right in the heart of the old town of Volterra.

    We got food poisoning after eating here. I do not think the quality of the food was up to par with Michelin. A local mentioned this is under new ownership so it sounds like quality went downhill.

    Some food was good, the pavlova was grainy and barely edible, but the ravioli was great. The service started off good, but got worse as time went on. Had to flag down the waiter for desert menus after not having anyone stop by for over 20 minutes with an empty table. I ordered an espresso but my dining companion wasn’t even offered a drink with their dessert. That felt kind of weird and worthy of remark.

    We were underwhelmed by the food here and do not feel it deserves the Michelin star that it has. Pasta was bland and under seasoned and presentation of all dishes was very basic. Also expensive comparatively. But the outside seating is beautiful.

    We were disappointed in our experience when we ate at Del Duca. Two unique dishes in the starter section were not available and the substitutes were very ordinary offerings that we saw on every other menu in every Italian city we'd been in (e.g. caprese salad and tomato bruschetta). The specials were also not unique (e.g. fresh pasta with porcini mushrooms) compared to other menu options. My husband's veal was very good but mine was slightly overcooked. Overall, the food was under-seasoned. Service was good. For the price and Michelin standing, it was not the meal we expected.

    Although pretty environment the food and service does not live up to its reputation. The bread put on the table was stale and old, the amuse of potato soup was lackluster, the starter of crispy sausage etc wrapped in phyllo was the best part of the meal as the parpadelle with wild boar was dry and farely tasteless. In fact, I am pretty sure nothing wild ever saw that plate. Dessert of milk pudding with caramel and fruit was just ok. Cannot recommend at this price point.

    The restaurant was quiet and lovely. The food was excellent and the staff were fabulous. Would recommend a try. My family each chose a different tasting menu and all were pleased.

    Delicious food. Very good front of house with the boss adding a song while dishing up risotto. Lots of lovely truffles with buratta and veal. The pannacotta dessert was a great end to a lovely meal.

    Most average restaurant and meal I've seen in a very long time. In no way does the quality match that of a Michelin-rated restaurant. Big disappointment.

    Enotecca del Ducca is a lovely setting. The service was excellent with explanations of all the ingredients in each dish. We had a modest sized group, so among the group we tried a lot of options. The fetuccini ragu, lobster papardelle and wild boar papardelle were all excellent. The rack of lamb was a little disappointing--not much flavor and a bit tough. Unfortunately, they ran out of most of the desserts, but the wine and biscotti (for dipping in the dessert wine) was an excellent and interesting choice. Wine list was very good and the prices were reasonable.
