The verdict

Bistrot 19 and Le Chiuse neck and neck

8,5 versus 8,3: 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 Bistrot 19 if…

  • In Grosseto, you'll find Tuscan cuisine featuring named local products (chianina, Morellino) and a homemade giardiniera.

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,4). You'll find Tuscan cuisine with cecina, fegatini, chianina and Morellino, but also international dishes such as New York Cheesecake.

Choose Il Vecchio Mulino if…

  • your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head

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 Le Chiuse if…

  • you prioritise typicité locale (8,7 vs 7,4) : Very Maremma menu: acquacotta, zuppa maremmana, tortelli maremmani, cinghiale alla cacciatora, Morellino di Scansano DOCG wines and named pecorino.
  • you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 98 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
