Several years ago, when my nephew, a world-traveler, came to Seattle on a work-related visit, he and his colleagues invited us to dinner, asking us to choose the spot. We wanted the space to be intimate and the food delicious, so we told them we’d meet them at Volterra. Even with a GPS, it took them awhile to find the place, but once they arrived, we had a great dinner and a fun evening. My nephew loved it. He said, “I could have predicted I would like it. That’s how I always know I’m going to be eating in a good restaurant when I’m traveling: if it is hard to find and has no parking, it will be a great dinner!”
