The verdict
Capanna del Buttero and Horta Grill Bar neck and neck
8,6 versus 8,6: 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 Capanna del Buttero if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,6 vs 7,2) : Map anchored in Maremma: cinghiale, scottona, Maremma carnaroli risotto, pecorino, Cerrosughero DOP olive oil, and primi only in winter season.
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,1 vs 7,6) : Antipasti at €7-9, pastas at €13-16 and contorni at €6, with named products (30-month mangalitza, tartufo nero): consistent for €35 per person.
Choose Horta Grill Bar if…
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 842 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,2). Named regional dishes (pici with wild boar, Maremma Carnaroli risotto, Pezzata Rossa) but also burgers on the menu, which limits the Tuscan anchoring.
Choose La Quadra if…
- your budget matters: from €31 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,7). Meat cuisine rooted in Italian terroir (Chianina, km0 cheeses) but several Sardinian dishes (malloreddus, maialino) and Emilian-Roman ones, little from the Maremma.
