The verdict
Bistrot 19 and Artidoro neck and neck
8,5 versus 8,4: 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 Artidoro if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,6) : Starters and pasta at €13, fish at €17, desserts at €7, i.e. €35 per person: named products and carefully prepared dishes at gentle prices.
- your budget matters: from €35 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Choose Bistrot 19 if…
- your budget matters: from €35 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 556 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). For €35 on average, you get main courses at €16, such as the Morellino fillet and a homemade giardiniera: the value is consistent.
Choose L'Uva e Il Malto if…
- Grosseto restaurant awarded two gamberi, with pici alla bottarga di Orbetello, filetto di Chianina and a focus on fish, for an average price of 40 €
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). Main courses from €13 to €25, desserts at €6, water at €3, portions described as generous: named products (Chianina, bottarga) at prices consistent with an average of €40.
Choose Poco Loco if…
- your budget matters: from €35 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,4). A few named Tuscan wines (Vermentino, Ansonica della Maremma, Pitigliano), but a mostly generic, largely Italian menu, with no identified regional dish from the Maremma.
