Tosco's word
The criterion that separates them most clearly is typicality: Bar 3/4 Da Ghigo Al Mare scores 9.1 against 6.3 for Il Turchese, with pici, cinghiale, peposo and Cinta Senese all named on the menu, all for €21 per person. If you want the real Maremma on your plate at a low price, head to Ghigo, even though its setting (5.6) and service (6.3) are the poor relations of this comparison. Il Turchese, for its part, at €34, banks on the quality of its cooking (9.0) and notably praised service (9.2) for more elaborate fish dishes, but its Maremman roots remain vague: choose it for a refined table, not for a regional culinary journey.
