The verdict

Il Canto Del Gallo takes the lead

Il Canto Del Gallo scores 8,8/10, ahead of L'Uva e Il Malto (8,3) et Montecristo (7,9). The menu lines up named Maremman dishes (tortelli, pappardelle with wild boar, peposo) and an average price of €35. The main reservation concerns the wine list, which is not specified.

Choose Il Canto Del Gallo if…

  • you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,8), level with or ahead on typicité locale
  • you prioritise typicité locale (8,8 vs 7,3) : Tortelli maremmani, pappardelle with wild boar, pici, peposo maremmano, braciola al Morellino: menu mostly regional, with named local products.
  • you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 379 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). Average price at €35, primi at €10-13, secondi at €10-20: the Tuscan menu remains consistent, with named products and no surcharge indicated.

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.

Choose Montecristo if…

  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,6) : 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.
  • your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,3). Named Tuscan dishes (finocchiona and pecorino toscano, cinta senese, pappa al pomodoro), but the menu is still dominated by fairly generic seafood cuisine.
