"I stopped by for lunch with friends and my little son just before returning to Rome and we promised ourselves we would return one day, because we were satisfied. Except for me it's surreal. From the outside it seems as small as a train carriage, so much so that I thought I was in the wrong place, but once inside you discover the organization of the place and you are surprised: bright, well-kept, relaxing and a place that I really liked. Excellent food, what can I say. Also, a lady sitting next to us was raving about her mussels, which left me shocked as it's a place where you don't expect fish. I can't confirm, because I chose a meat menu, wanting to taste the flavors of the place, but maybe one day why not. I would also add that the staff was exquisite. Unfortunately I had a small problem with my son and the kindness he showed really heartened me. Really happy."

"there is a place of refreshment, on the mountain amiata the zauberberg of Tuscany where, if you go to lunch or to dinner, it can happen that at the table next to your is eating the dalai lama or (until he lived) michelangelo antonioni, laura morante or sergio stano, simone cristicchi or (until he lived) luigi veroni, that place is called “Aiuole”, a very welcoming inn. we have come to the flowerbed for three generations and we want to go home every time. the “Aiuole” rises halfway between the archdiocese (with its mighty aldobrandesca fortress and which gave birth to the prophet of the Amiata, gave lazzaretti) and santafiora (of Dante’s memory and who gave birth to father ernesto balducci). we are on the bigethan side of the Amiata and this, in the menu, you feel: appear in it, for example, the Maremma tortelli, the tagliatelle to the wild boar sauce. and again, among the first, are the snowflakes (as well as the white atmospheric miracle that gives them the name), the gnudes (palline of spinach and ricotta), the cutters to the truffle and sausage. great, chestnut polenta with ricotta and pork anime. before you can order very Tuscan appetizers such as black crostini, tasty amiatini meats, the lard of Siena. after, second dishes such as, to say, the tripe to montalcinese (with saffron), the sublime lamb squid, the pig in the brown oven, the rabbit with mountain herbs (well twenty-two, one more perfumed than the other), the chocolate boar, the fried capon. all accompanied by a great wine both white (of pitigliano) and red (montecucco). for dessert, you will be offered milk to Portuguese, baked cream, Catalan cream, but also the famous St. Saviour's Abbey (also historical amytina resort, located in the Sienese side). It seems that this is a place where it is worth going as often as possible. but the “Aiuole” has an additional attraction that is the couple that manages the inn: Hugo and lionella, husband and wife, two people with undescribable skill and goodness. and seemingly scorbutic (but it is all a fake he, who knows everything about the Amiata and its mystical and rebellious prophet. sweet but of an infinite moral force she, of original big-years but now become (thanks to the Dalai lama) "cuoca zen". we returned recently, after long absence due to covid, and in addition to everything described above, lionella had prepared lasagne to say little sublimation, with a leaf that melted in the mouth. an experience that is worth doing and that we will definitely continue to do."

"First off, let me say that Jonathan and Chiara are amazing humans. We came very late and they made us welcome... with smiles! This meal was one of my Top 3 meals of all time! With the attention paid to the smallest details, the quality and passion infused in the food, it all adds up to an unforgettable experience! From appetizer to dessert and wine pairings... fantastic!! I truly thank them for sharing their expertise and passions. If you can... go here... eat... and take in the wonderful surroundings, a combination of beautiful grounds, art and sculpture. Really, what more could you ask for? PS Breakfast was great too... huge!"
