Why these ratings?

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

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.

La LanternaMenu dominated by seafood dishes and pizzas; a few named regional dishes (tortelli maremmani, pici, cinghiale), but the regional share remains limited.

MontecristoNamed Tuscan dishes (finocchiona and pecorino toscano, cinta senese, pappa al pomodoro), but the menu is still dominated by fairly generic seafood cuisine.
