The verdict

Bistrot 19 and L'Uva e Il Malto neck and neck

8,5 versus 8,3: 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 Bistrot 19 if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 556 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

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 €

Choose La Perla del Golfo if…

  • Seafood table in Follonica by chef Nicolò Dibello, about 30 € per person, with marine classics such as polpetti affogati

Choose Ruote libere if…

  • your budget matters: from €29 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,8). A few Tuscan touchstones (pici, schiaccia, tagliere, Muffato) and seasonal products, but Oriental salsa, seitan and Nutella cheesecake: partial local anchoring.

Why these ratings?

Bistrot 19You'll find Tuscan cuisine with cecina, fegatini, chianina and Morellino, but also international dishes such as New York Cheesecake.

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 Perla del GolfoTortelli maremmani (16 €), pici, ansonica and vermentino from the house anchor the menu; but the essence remains a generic Italian seafood offer.

Ruote libereA few Tuscan touchstones (pici, schiaccia, tagliere, Muffato) and seasonal products, but Oriental salsa, seitan and Nutella cheesecake: partial local anchoring.
