The verdict
Trattoria Verdiana takes the lead
Trattoria Verdiana scores 8,1/10, ahead of Il Vecchio Mulino (7,1). A trattoria in Manciano with a strong Tuscan menu: acquacotta, pappa al pomodoro, cinghiale, bistecca di razza maremmana and regional cheeses. Caveat: the 60 € bistecca and an average price of 43 € weigh on the bill.
Choose Il Vecchio Mulino if…
- your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
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.
