The verdict
L'Uva e Il Malto and Il Passaggio by Capanna neck and neck
8,3 versus 8,2: 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 Cristall if…
- your budget matters: from €20 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,9). The menu names salumi Toscani (€15), I sapori della maremma (€12) and Lo sfizio del buttero, but it is mostly made up of pizze, burgers and generic Italian dishes.
Choose Il Passaggio by Capanna if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,2 vs 7,3) : Tuscan menu: pici, trippa e fagioli, Cinta senese, pecorino, Vitellone Toscano; several regional dishes and local products named.
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 148 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose L'Uva e Il Malto if…
- Grosseto restaurant awarded two gamberi, with pici alla bottarga di Orbetello, filetto di Chianina and a focus on fish, for an average price of 40 €
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,3). Pici, bottarga di Orbetello, lardo di Colonnata and Chianina anchor the menu in Tuscany; foie gras and pane carasau open it to other influences.
