Why these ratings?

ArtidoroSea menu with named Tuscan products (bottarga, pecorino riserva, vinsanto, fegatini) but international touches (coconut-mojito bavarese).

CristallThe menu names salumi Toscani (€15), I sapori della maremma (€12) and Lo sfizio del buttero, but it is mostly made up of pizze, burgers and generic Italian dishes.

Il Vecchio MulinoFive Montalcino DOC pizzas and Chianina IGP della Val di Chiana anchor the menu, but the whole remains dominated by classic pizzas.

L'Uva e Il MaltoPici, bottarga di Orbetello, lardo di Colonnata and Chianina anchor the menu in Tuscany; foie gras and pane carasau open it to other influences.
