The verdict
Terre di Giorgio takes the lead
Terre di Giorgio scores 8,1/10, ahead of Ricci Osteria Del Lago (7,7). Organic agritourism in the Val d'Orcia growing saffron, olive oil and Calus vines, serving pici, Cinta Senese and pappa al pomodoro. Average price of 37 €, not cheap, with a mano libera option listed at 70 €.
Choose Ricci Osteria Del Lago if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,1 vs 7,4) : Affordably priced menu (primi 15-20 €, secondi 10-18 €) and 23 € per person in the budget range, for dishes named such as grilled lamb: good value for money.
- your budget matters: from €23 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
