The verdict
Il Frantoino takes the lead
Il Frantoino scores 8,4/10, ahead of Poderaccio Di Bolsena (7,6), La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini (7,3) et Platani (5,6). Il Frantoino offers tasting menus at €30 with wine included, served in a rustic setting at Località Paesetto, a little away from the center.
