The verdict

La Giuncola e il Granaiolo and Le Chiuse neck and neck

8,5 versus 8,3: 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 La Giuncola e il Granaiolo if…

  • In Grosseto, a Maremma menu: tortello di ghigo, pappardelle al cinghiale, peposo dell'Impruneta and bistecca alla fiorentina, around €30 per person

Choose Le Chiuse if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 98 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Choose Ristoro da Poldo if…

  • à Grosseto, Ristoro da Poldo propose une carte de viande et de mer avec tortelli maremmani, trippa alla fiorentina et pici, pour un prix moyen de 29 €

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,4). Tortelli maremmani, trippa alla fiorentina and pici anchor the menu in Tuscany; foie gras with mandarin and carbonara di mare open toward other registers.
