Ristorante Le Macinaie — Restaurant in Unione dei Comuni Montani Amiata Grossetana

We came here because the place advertises itself as very celiac-friendly, but honestly the experience was pretty bad.

They didn’t have the gluten-free fried mushrooms, which was the main reason we came, but okay, this can happen. When I asked for a gluten-free beer, the maître had no idea what I meant. I even showed him the one on the menu, but he brought me a regular beer with gluten. When I asked if it was gluten-free, he insisted it was the one I showed him - it wasn’t. Later on, I asked one of the younger staff (who were clearly new, but at least nice and trying their best) who double-checked and finally brought me the right beer.

Then came the pasta. I obviously ordered gluten-free, but they served me a normal plate. If I hadn’t asked before eating, I would’ve been really sick. They redid it, but by then the whole situation felt unsafe.

Service overall was slow and we felt ignored most of the time. The maître especially had a bad attitude, both towards us and towards his young staff, which didn’t...

Am Fuße des Ski-/ Downhill Gebietes auf dem Monte Amiata gelegen liegt das den Hotel zugehörige Restaurant. Nicht nur die Karten liegen in Deutscher, Englischer und Italienischer Sprache vor, auch unsere Bedienung wusste sich bestens in Englisch auszudrücken. Wir bekamen mit unseren zwei kleinen Kindern einen Platz etwas abseits des Tumultes der Hotelgäste, was wir sehr begrüßten. Auch auf die individuellen Essenswünsche unserer Fünfjährigen wurde eingegangen. Das Essen war herausragend, genauso wie die Wein- Hausmarke. Der geübte Gourmet denkt sich jetzt "Hotelrestaurant in 1400 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel mit super Essen und hoch professionellem Service- das wird teuer!"- mit Nichten! Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis sucht Seinesgleichen. Wir haben mit vier Hauptgerichten, einer Flasche Rotwein, Zwei Karaffen Wasser und einem Zehner Trinkgeld keine €80 bezahlt. Alle Daumen hoch. PS: Der Kellner hat auch schön mit unserem Zweijährigen...

Non do 5 stelle solo perché sono "tirchia" e le riservo solo a casi molto particolari, ma da anni vado in questo ristorante e ho sempre mangiato benissimo. Tipica cucina toscana/ amiatina abbondante e saporita con un menù molto vario. La sorpresa di questo autunno è stata la zuppa di funghi servita in "un panino", una scodella di pane molto gustosa anche se complicata da finire. Nonostante preferisca la versione tradizionale più liquida dove poter decidere quanto pane aggiungere, devo dire che mi è comunque piaciuta molto. Ottimo e da menzione, come sempre, il filetto con il lardo e il cappello di porcino. Buonissimo. Ottimo rapporto qualità - prezzo. Consigliato a chi ama una cucina tradizionale e vuole approfittare del prato delle Macinaie per rilassarsi, godendo del sole i colori della natura. Ideale per famiglie con bambini anche per il vicino parco avventura (da controllare sul sito giorni...
