The verdict
La Collina takes the lead
La Collina scores 8,6/10, ahead of Il Passaggio by Capanna (8,2) et La Taverna di Baietto (7,4). In Pitigliano, La Collina relies on its own production (salumi, lardo, agnello) and a named Tuscan menu: pici, cinghiale, peposo del Brunelleschi. Its limitation: a house on the SR 74, on the outskirts, with a simple setting.

- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 148 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
