The verdict
Horta Grill Bar takes the lead
Horta Grill Bar scores 8,6/10, ahead of La Quadra (7,9) et Piani degli Alpaca Bistrot (7,2). Josper-grilled meats and named cuts (Pezzata Rossa, wild boar, guinea fowl), homemade trafilate al bronzo pasta, meals possible by the pool and free parking. The menu mixes Tuscan specialties and burgers in an industrial setting, at about 35 € per person.
Choose Horta Grill Bar if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,6), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 842 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose La Quadra if…
- your budget matters: from €31 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,7). Meat cuisine rooted in Italian terroir (Chianina, km0 cheeses) but several Sardinian dishes (malloreddus, maialino) and Emilian-Roman ones, little from the Maremma.
Choose Piani degli Alpaca Bistrot if…
- agritourism bistro on an alpaca farm of several hundred hectares, with a view over the Maremma and an Italian menu featuring named regional products
