Tosco's word
Taverna di Mozart, with its 8.8 rating and traveler scores in the top 3% for service and setting, targets those who want upscale dining at €45 per person, with views over the Val d'Orcia and pici at €20. Terre di Giorgio, at €37, suits you if you're looking for an organic agriturismo with saffron and estate olive oil, a slightly higher local character (8.8 versus 8.7) and a simpler setting; its traveler scores, though high, sit in less flattering percentiles. If your budget is tight or you want the farm experience, choose Terre di Giorgio; for a more celebrated kitchen and an exceptional setting, the Taverna di Mozart justifies its extra €8.
