Tosco's word
The first point of difference: Taverna di Mozart in Castiglione d'Orcia has a Toscane Cachée score of 8.8, with service and setting rated 9.4 and 9.3, and a price of €45 per person versus €50 at Osteria del Leone in Bagno Vignoni (8.6). If you want the most refined dining room and the most accomplished cuisine for a meal that's a bit lighter on the budget, Taverna is the obvious choice; Osteria, for its part, suits those who want a more meat-focused and varied menu, with trippa alla montalcinese, peposo and bistecca fiorentina. Note that Taverna is earned, with access by an unpaved road.
