text: I go to Aiellos for the people not the food There are few places that make you feel more welcome between all the friendly staff owner coming by at least once and regulars that live nearby all greeting each other The kitchen is not managed as well as the dining room however so expect execution problems For example on our last visit they had risotto as one of their specials You would think if it were on the special it would be cooked properly Alas it was almost inedible Hard little kernels of risotto that crunched when you bit down The broccoli rapini in my pasta was so bitter it ruined the whole dish Yet even with the food issues I would still go back to meet friends
