A shelf of bottles in low light

Wine bar Volta

Volta is a wine bar in a stone vault in Jaffa. The niches in its walls hold Italian bottles, by the glass and by the bottle, and the kitchen sends out cicchetti, small plates, and one pasta a day. You come for the wine and stay for the pasta.

Two hundred bottles, in the niches of the vault

The bottles stand by region, from the Veneto down to Sicily. Every night Neta opens a few of them by the glass, and anything that isn't open comes by the bottle.

One pasta a day

Daniel rolls it in the afternoon, on the table in the corner of the kitchen. There is one each night, and when it's gone, it's gone. Tomorrow there's another.

Cicchetti

In Venice they're eaten standing at the bar, between one glass and the next. Here you may also sit.

The vault was built more than a century ago for goods, not for people. Today it holds a long bar, eight tables and one very long one, for evenings that don't end on time.
