Top 10: Restaurants gastronomiques en Maremme

Tosco If you're looking for authentic, regional Tuscan cuisine, with wild boar pici and tortelli maremmani, choose Castello Banfi La Taverna, whose local typicity reaches 8.6 against 6.6 for Sala dei Grappoli. The latter, with its creative Mediterranean cuisine and €76 per person, will appeal to epicureans seeking a more luxurious gourmet table. La Taverna, €6 cheaper, also gathers more reviews (140 versus 71), but its scores are slightly lower, except on this criterion of Tuscan roots, which makes it more local.

La Rocca, in Bagno Vignoni, is instead the choice for those seeking the taste of the terroir: its local typicity reaches 8.8, compared with 6.6 at Castello Banfi, with peposo, panzanella and Chianina IGP.
