The verdict
Casetta di Valentina takes the lead
Casetta di Valentina scores 8,2/10, ahead of Osteria Il RitroVino (7,1). The menu is dominated by the Maremma: pici, tortello maremmano, cinghiale, Morellino, pecorino and chianina, with fresh pasta and named producers. Drawback: the average price of €30 remains consistent, but the grilled meat charged by the hectogram can weigh on the bill.
