The verdict
Bistrot 19 takes the lead
Bistrot 19 scores 8,5/10, ahead of Ristoro da Poldo (8,2) et Pozzarello (6,5). 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.

- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,5), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
