Tosco's word
Il Cerchio delle Streghe Country House wins for a higher-end table that wants meat and a grand setting: cuisine rated 9.5 and setting rated 9.5, €45 per person. Osteria del Leone, at €50, will appeal more to those who want more traditional Tuscan cooking, with pici and trippa, and to Bagno Vignoni, but its overall score of 8.6 remains behind.
