"The Cerchio del Vento (Circle of the wind) is a place with unexpected qualities. It’s the only grocery store in the village of Sant'Angelo in Colle, with a room with some tables and an equipped kitchen, a cosy spot next to the medieval gate of the village. At lunchtime, Agostina cooks every day for her family (husband, daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren), which meets in the store around 1 pm. They are between five and seven people, who – as in the old families, especially in rural areas – taste delicious local dishes changing daily, with fresh selected ingredients, prepared by the mother, with skill, lot of work and love. Agostina cooks always for some persons more, as the surplus is shown on the counter of the store and sold during the day by portions to the villagers, or served to the few customers who come and sit at the tables. The dishes change all the time and it’s impossible to find something similar in the even excellent restaurants in the village and the area. There is a truly amazing use of seasonal vegetables: zucchini, peppers or eggplant stuffed with meat, onions and various flavours; zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta cheese, either fried or with tomato sauce; tuscan ratatouille; delicious meatballs with zucchini and onion; all kinds of roasted meat, from roast beef to porc fillet or polpettone stuffed with carrots and spinach; noodles all’aglione (local garlic tomato sauce), home-made bolognese, and sometimes wild boar sauce with laurel and rosemary; high variety of soups according to season (ribollita and panzanella, and a very special soup of chard and ricotta cheese). Excellent sheep cheese, porc cold cuts and wines (we are in the middle of Brunello land). A family service of great kindness ruled by Agostina&Luciano’s daughter Raffaella (also an excellent cook). A price you would not believe!"

the place is beautiful and in order, it is present like an osteria/enoteca but inside it is also a shop with food and other, which has garbato me a lot! we tasted meats and cheeses typical of the area, the pine nuts is a red wine of the house, all good. I think you deserve a visit because you still have a lot to tell! for us it is

very pleasant and welcoming environment, you can get the typical cuisine of the area, based on pici, bread soup, fegatelli and homemade desserts. the pleasantness of the staff makes you feel like at home, the value for money is really great. the walk then after lunch is really a Tuscan, the view from Saint Angel is wonderful. a place to go back and return several times, recommended!

This is a Small and Very familiar place. They don't have a menu. They explain what they have for the moment and you choose based on what you could understand (Italian only! . Then a madam goes tô the Kitchen and prepare it. But the food is so good that It seems every option Will be a good one. It is also a small market. As a Small place, It can be a bit slow. They até not really in a hurry.. It's located in a Very Small and cosy town that reserves a visit by itself!

the room overlooks, next to another trattoria, on the medieval square of the village. pleasant atmosphere, no cars. ideal environment to appreciate the dishes coming out of the kitchen. veal meat on all. coast and Florentine, cooked with grill, goose and juicy. experience is worth it. around these, homemade pasta, seasoned according to tradition (aglione, wild boar and so on) given the area, the wine card is centered on many references of brown and red of montalcino. service, friendly and concrete. correct price quality ratio.

I write in response to the owner's comment after reading my review. I never said the heat was your fault and sometimes you want to stop eating without planning it. what I wrote is a simple statement: on hot days in the tables near the door there is no air. I make another statement: the management of relationships with customers is not for everyone. I went to lunch. Recommendation: If you happen to go on a summer day, remember to ask you to sit on the veranda and not near the entrance, they do not have air and risk to make you a beautiful sauna. I took an appetizer of the day with zucchini, pecorino di pienza and balsamic vinegar and a mixed grill. I didn't eat bad. sufficient service.
