Everything about this restaurant is absolutely incredible - the food of course being the main one. I think the cod I had last night was the best piece of fish I've ever had in my entire life of 47 years. The waitstaff is very nice and attentive, and the overall environment is stylish and quiet. This restaurant reminds me of being in Sweden. Highly recommend!!!

• Contemporary Italian • Phinney Ridge

Whether inside the stylish interior or in the charming alleyway, Lioness is an excellent spot for contemporary Italian food on Phinney Ridge. The cocktails are inspired, the happy hour bites are indulgent, the wine list is intriguing, and the larger bites are craveable. We love this spot for guests and social hour and are super glad we discovered it!

We met at Stella before attending an event at Town Hall. The cocktails were fun and the food was delicious. We were seated in the bar, so the noise level was high, so if we needed a quieter experience next time I'd ask to be seated in the dining room. I'm so glad to have found a great place to meet and eat before my next event at Town Hall.

This was our first time dining at Volterra, and it exceeded our expectations. The lamb shank and linguine alla vongole were excellent, and the bread arrived fresh and warm. Our server, Steven, explained that the bread contains less salt because it comes with olive oil and a special fennel salt for dipping. It was delicious! Steven provided outstanding service and made great food and wine recommendations. He also brought our son a complimentary tiramisu for his birthday, which was thoughtful and much appreciated. Having recently traveled to Italy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the food here even better than some of the meals we had there. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next visit.
