What impressed wife and i the most was owner Albo's friendliness. We were so hungry and went into the small ristorante, only to find Albo and family still having their meal. Despite that, Albo welcomed us and sat us at a small cozy table beside the window which probably was the most romantic seat in the ristorante! (thanks Albo! Wife... More

We're Americans who have lived in Tuscany for a few years. We have many favorite restaurants here but we love 13 Gobbi in Montefollonico. This a small, family-run restaurant with a very local, authentic menu. The tagliatelle is made fresh daily, and this pasta prepared in the percorino cheese form should not be missed! Nice wine list, delicious local olive... More

So far, I've been to 13 Gobbi probably 5 times--and always for lunch. I absolutely love their pasta dish that made by putting the cooking pasta in the huge round of very aged pecorino cheese. The menu has this with tagliatelle, but I order it with pici. Either way it is delicious. This last trip I also had a dish... More

The tagliatelle in pecorino is, as reported by many, outstanding but the secondi of rabbit and chicken that we had were both somewhat bland. The owner is very welcoming and makes a great show with the pasta which was ordered by just about everyone else in the restaurant while we were there. We had an outstanding bottle of Vino Nobile...

During my stay in Montefollonico I had an opportunity to try the food in this place after recommendation of my local Italian friend. I was lucky I could try restaurant food (standard menu) but also try a home made food served there and talk to the owners. Highly recommended for spending great time and trying Tuscan food.

We foujnd this place by accident while eating dinner one night at another restaurant in Montefollonico. We returned to eat here a few nights later and were very pleased. The food was delicious! I had the most amazing pasta with pecorino cheese. The owner is a "hoot" and made us laugh all through dinner. It is a very warm and... More
