The verdict
Bistrot 19 takes the lead
Bistrot 19 scores 8,5/10, ahead of La Perla del Golfo (7,8) et La Lanterna (6,8). In Grosseto, you'll find Tuscan cuisine with named products (chianina, Morellino) and a homemade giardiniera. Drawback: the menu also mixes generic dishes and a New York Cheesecake, which dilutes the regional typicity.
Choose Bistrot 19 if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,5), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 556 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose La Lanterna if…
- your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (5,8). Menu dominated by seafood dishes and pizzas; a few named regional dishes (tortelli maremmani, pici, cinghiale), but the regional share remains limited.
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
