The verdict
La Giuncola e il Granaiolo and Artidoro neck and neck
8,5 versus 8,4: 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 Artidoro if…
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,8) : 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.
- you trust travellers: 9,5/10 from 384 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
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.
Choose Il Vecchio Mulino if…
- à Montalcino, cette pizzeria propose des pizzas de 7 à 15 €, cinq pizzas montalcinesi DOC et de la chianina IGP della Val di Chiana, pour environ 25 € par personne
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,1). Five Montalcino DOC pizzas and Chianina IGP della Val di Chiana anchor the menu, but the whole remains dominated by classic pizzas.
Choose La Giuncola e il Granaiolo if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,8 vs 7,2) : Mostly regional menu: pappardelle al cinghiale, pici alla buttera, peposo dell'Impruneta, tortello di ghigo and bistecca alla fiorentina.
