Tosco's word

Il Turchese comes out ahead on cuisine and service, with a traveler rating of 9.5 and service ranked in the top 6% of the catalog, against a Poco Loco that trails more than half of the addresses on these criteria. If you're looking for a refined fish table and sophisticated dishes, choose Il Turchese for its €34 average and its antipasti tasting at €23. Poco Loco, at €35, is better suited if you want a meat-and-fish mix with generous portions and named Tuscan wines, accepting a less highly rated setting and sometimes slow service.

Tosco only cites facts from this head-to-head: ratings, criteria, prices, amenities. Text calculated once, checked by the code.
