The verdict
Ristorante Antica Dogana takes the lead
Ristorante Antica Dogana scores 8,1/10, ahead of Molo 26 (7,6). In Grosseto, on the outskirts, Antica Dogana focuses on Italian seafood cuisine (gamberoni dell'Argentario, pici fatti a mano) and a private car park. The menu does mix in some international touches (wagyu, tzatziki).
Choose Molo 26 if…
- Molo 26 focuses on local fish and carefully prepared Mediterranean cuisine in Porto Santo Stefano, with products such as chianina and Gillardeau oysters
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,9). Locally caught fish, chianina and cantucci e vinsanto named. The menu is creative Mediterranean, with few classic Maremma dishes.
