The verdict
La Quadra takes the lead
La Quadra scores 7,9/10, ahead of Piani degli Alpaca Bistrot (7,2). Grilled meat restaurant in Tarquinia by Paolo Cancedda, with house paccheri and km0 cheeses, in brick vaults in the historic centre. The menu mostly mixes Sardinian and Emilian specialties, with few strictly Tuscan dishes.
Choose La Quadra if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (7,9), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix
- your budget matters: from €31 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,7). Meat cuisine rooted in Italian terroir (Chianina, km0 cheeses) but several Sardinian dishes (malloreddus, maialino) and Emilian-Roman ones, little from the Maremma.
Choose Piani degli Alpaca Bistrot if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (7,4 vs 6,7) : Regional products and dishes named: DOP della Tuscia, lardo di Colonnata, pecorino, pollo alla viterbese, Fiorentina; desserts and gnocchi more generic.
