Choose La Perla del Golfo if…
- your budget matters: from €30 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,2). Tortelli maremmani (16 €), pici, ansonica and vermentino from the house anchor the menu; but the essence remains a generic Italian seafood offer.
