The verdict
Bistrot 19 takes the lead
Bistrot 19 scores 8,5/10, ahead of Ristoro da Poldo (8,2), Molo 26 (7,6) et Poco Loco (7,0). 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 Molo 26 if…
- Molo 26 focuses on local fish and carefully prepared Mediterranean cuisine in Porto Santo Stefano, with products such as chianina and Gillardeau oysters
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,9). Locally caught fish, chianina and cantucci e vinsanto named. The menu is creative Mediterranean, with few classic Maremma dishes.
Choose Poco Loco if…
- in Porto Santo Stefano, this table mixes fish and meat, with clam pasta, a grigliata mista and named Tuscan wines at moderate prices
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,4). A few named Tuscan wines (Vermentino, Ansonica della Maremma, Pitigliano), but a mostly generic, largely Italian menu, with no identified regional dish from the Maremma.
Choose Ristoro da Poldo if…
- your budget matters: from €29 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
