The verdict
Il Canto Del Gallo takes the lead
Il Canto Del Gallo scores 8,8/10, ahead of Artidoro (8,4), Cristall (7,8) et Molo 26 (7,6). The menu lines up named Maremman dishes (tortelli, pappardelle with wild boar, peposo) and an average price of €35. The main reservation concerns the wine list, which is not specified.
Choose Artidoro if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,7) : Starters and pasta at €13, fish at €17, desserts at €7, i.e. €35 per person: named products and carefully prepared dishes at gentle prices.
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,2). Sea menu with named Tuscan products (bottarga, pecorino riserva, vinsanto, fegatini) but international touches (coconut-mojito bavarese).
Choose Cristall if…
- your budget matters: from €20 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,9). The menu names salumi Toscani (€15), I sapori della maremma (€12) and Lo sfizio del buttero, but it is mostly made up of pizze, burgers and generic Italian dishes.

- Molo 26 focuses on local fish and carefully prepared Mediterranean cuisine in Porto Santo Stefano, with products such as chianina and Gillardeau oysters
