The verdict
Capitano Del Popolo and Vis à Vis, cucina&eventi neck and neck
8,0 versus 7,8: the gap is too small to separate them on the overall rating. The choice comes down to the criteria that matter to you, below.
Choose Arso if…
- table contemporaine d'Orvieto cuisinant au feu des produits nommés (Verde Leprino Viterbese, Black Angus nostrano), face à la cathédrale
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,1). Secondi at €25-28 and an average of €46 for a carefully crafted, named menu; the 4-course menu at €55 remains consistent with the upper range.
Choose Capitano Del Popolo if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (7,6 vs 7,3) : Handmade pasta at €15-18, main courses at €18-25 and homemade focaccia: a price consistent with prepared cuisine, averaging €25.
- your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Choose Il Miglio if…

Choose Vis à Vis, cucina&eventi if…
- you trust travellers: 9,5/10 from 133 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,2). Creative Italian menu: panzanella and orto produce, but nigiri, tataki, tzatziki and caponata take you far from the Maremma and Tuscany.
