The verdict
La Collina takes the lead
La Collina scores 8,6/10, ahead of La Taverna di Baietto (7,4) et Il Vecchio Mulino (7,1). 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.
Choose Il Vecchio Mulino if…
- à Montalcino, cette pizzeria propose des pizzas de 7 à 15 €, cinq pizzas montalcinesi DOC et de la chianina IGP della Val di Chiana, pour environ 25 € par personne
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,1). Five Montalcino DOC pizzas and Chianina IGP della Val di Chiana anchor the menu, but the whole remains dominated by classic pizzas.
Choose La Collina if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,6), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,1 vs 7,6) : Products from its own production (salumi, lardo, agnello, confetture) and primi at €10-14: at €35 per person, the value for money holds up.
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,7 vs 8,2) : Mostly Tuscan menu: pici, cinghiale, peposo del Brunelleschi, tortelli maremmani, cinta senese and chianina named, plus house-made salumi.
- you trust travellers: 9,3/10 from 904 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose La Taverna di Baietto if…
- your budget matters: from €20 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). Average price of €20 per person, with dishes from €13 to €18 and crostoni at €8-9, for homemade fresh pasta and traditional slow-cooked dishes.
