The verdict

Convivial takes the lead

Convivial scores 8,2/10, ahead of Valbona (7,7). In Tuscania, Andrea Astolfi's restaurant is rooted in the Tuscia: cinghiale, tartufo, Picchiapò and patate alla viterbese, in a dining room seating around fifteen. Caveat: apart from cheeses at 10 €, no menu prices are given, which limits the assessment of value for money at 50 €.

Choose Convivial if…

you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,2), level with or ahead on typicité locale
you prioritise typicité locale (8,1 vs 6,4) : The menu is rooted in the Tuscia: pappardella al ragù di cinghiale, vitellone alla "Picchiapò", patate alla viterbese, truffle and seasonal products.
you trust travellers: 9,8/10 from 54 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,2). At 50 € per person in the upper range, the elaborate preparations using the named ingredients (tuorlo e tartufo, vitellone) justify the price, but almost no menu prices are listed.

Choose Valbona if…

you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (7,7 vs 7,2) : The secondi (€18, €22, €24) and the pastas from Pastificio Agricolo Mancini are carefully prepared dishes at moderate prices, consistent with a €30 meal.
your budget matters: from €30 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,4). The menu is Italian with a focus on sea fish; the salsa verde fiorentina and the worked fish recall the Tuscan coast, but no local products are named.
