Why these ratings?
From Anna to the RocchetteTraveler rating 8.8/10 from 473 reviews: ahead of 54% of the catalogue.
L'ArpioneJust steps from the seafront and the historic center, a venue described as romantic and well kept, but without a direct sea view: a pleasant setting.
Pier 26Traveler rating 9.1/10 from 493 reviews: among the top 37% of the catalog.
Why these ratings?
From Anna to the RocchettePrimi at €18 with pasta from the pastificio di Gragnano, secondi at €20-22: a coherent menu, but €50 per person in the upper range.
L'ArpioneDishes priced at €12.5–19, desserts at €6.5, average of €40 per person for a menu featuring named products and house-made bottarga: consistent.
Pier 26Average of €45, secondi €26-32, crudi up to €50. Named products (chianina, Gillardeau) and carefully crafted plates; high prices but consistent.
Why these ratings?
From Anna to the RocchetteReimagined pappa di mare, octopus with wild chicory, fish from Castiglione's boats: a genuine local anchorage, without any iconic Maremman dishes.
L'ArpioneTuscan cuisine with pici, trippa alla Fiorentina and a reinterpreted cacciuco, plus local mazzancolle: several regional markers despite a reinterpreted menu.
Pier 26Locally caught fish, chianina and cantucci e vinsanto named. The menu is creative Mediterranean, with few classic Maremma dishes.
