Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (8,6). Very Tuscan menu: ribollita, pici fatti a mano, chianina, cinta senese, pecorino di Pienza, vinsanto and cantucci di Prato; rare dishes from outside the region.

Tosco's word
Palazzo Belvedere Restaurant wins on cuisine, with its rating of 7.9 against 7.1 for Masseria del Bosco, and its more polished setting (6.5) even though it remains modest; choose it if you want homemade fresh pasta and an urban address, accepting main courses at 20-25 € that weigh on the bill. Masseria del Bosco appeals to you for its superior local typicity (9.1 against 8.6), its gentler value-for-money score (8.2) and its rustic agriturismo setting, perfect for a regional meal on a tight budget, but its service (6.1) and simpler cuisine will disappoint you if you are looking for finesse. Both show 30 € per person and identical traveler ratings (9.1), so everything hinges on your wishes: refined gastronomy at the Belvedere, family authenticity at the Masseria.
