The verdict
Ristoro da Poldo and Montecristo neck and neck
8,2 versus 7,9: the gap is too small to separate them on the overall rating. The choice comes down to the criteria that matter to you, below.
Choose Montecristo if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,6) : Menu from €9 to €23 with named seafood (tuna tartare €15.50, frittura mista €18) and an average price of €25: good value for homemade dishes.
- your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Choose Ristoro da Poldo if…
- you trust travellers: 9,4/10 from 259 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,6). Beef tagliata at €17, pici at €12, desserts at €6, for an average price of €29: a menu that is well-kept and coherent, without being a low-cost address.
