The verdict
Le Chiuse takes the lead
Le Chiuse scores 8,3/10, ahead of La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini (7,3) et L’Arpione (7,2). Maremma cuisine in Manciano: acquacotta, tortelli maremmani, cinghiale, and Morellino di Scansano wines, for about 31 € per person. Bottled wines rise to 45 € and the menu also includes generic dishes such as limousine carpaccio.
