Montecristo and Cristall neck and neck

  • you trust travellers: 9,1/10 from 1240 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Choose Montecristo if…

  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,7) : Menu from €9 to €23 with named seafood (tuna tartare €15.50, frittura mista €18) and an average price of €25: good value for homemade dishes.
  • you prioritise typicité locale (7,3 vs 6,9) : Named Tuscan dishes (finocchiona and pecorino toscano, cinta senese, pappa al pomodoro), but the menu is still dominated by fairly generic seafood cuisine.
