Tosco's word
Il Turchese's traveler rating (9.5/10, 266 reviews) exceeds that of Molo 26 (9.2/10, 493 reviews), but it's on value for money that the difference lies: at €34, with dishes from €13 to €23 and a tasting at €23, Il Turchese offers elaborate preparations for a contained budget; Molo 26 climbs to €45 with secondi at €26-32 and crudi up to €50. For a refined table without breaking the bank, choose Il Turchese; for creative cuisine with chianina or Gillardeau oysters and service rated 9.2, head to Molo 26, if your wallet allows.
