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…

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 Montecristo if…

  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,6) : Menu from €9 to €23 with named seafood (tuna tartare €15.50, frittura mista €18) and an average price of €25: good value for homemade dishes.

Choose Ristoro da Poldo if…

  • à Grosseto, Ristoro da Poldo propose une carte de viande et de mer avec tortelli maremmani, trippa alla fiorentina et pici, pour un prix moyen de 29 €

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). Beef tagliata at €17, pici at €12, desserts at €6, for an average price of €29: a menu that is well-kept and coherent, without being a low-cost address.

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.

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

Ristoro da PoldoTortelli maremmani, trippa alla fiorentina and pici anchor the menu in Tuscany; foie gras with mandarin and carbonara di mare open toward other registers.
