The verdict

Bistrot 19 and L'Uva e Il Malto 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.

Choose L'Uva e Il Malto if…

  • Grosseto restaurant awarded two gamberi, with pici alla bottarga di Orbetello, filetto di Chianina and a focus on fish, for an average price of 40 €

Choose Ruote libere if…

  • your budget matters: from €29 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,8). A few Tuscan touchstones (pici, schiaccia, tagliere, Muffato) and seasonal products, but Oriental salsa, seitan and Nutella cheesecake: partial local anchoring.

Choose Saloni if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 7 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (7,2). Prices consistent with the menu: antipasti 18-24 €, primi 21-26 €, secondi 25-38 €, for named products (chianina, guinea fowl) and refined preparations.

Why these ratings?

Bistrot 19You'll find Tuscan cuisine with cecina, fegatini, chianina and Morellino, but also international dishes such as New York Cheesecake.

L'Uva e Il MaltoPici, bottarga di Orbetello, lardo di Colonnata and Chianina anchor the menu in Tuscany; foie gras and pane carasau open it to other influences.

Ruote libereA few Tuscan touchstones (pici, schiaccia, tagliere, Muffato) and seasonal products, but Oriental salsa, seitan and Nutella cheesecake: partial local anchoring.

SaloniA few named regional dishes (pinci with lamb ragù, bistecca alla fiorentina, battuta di chianina), but the menu remains mostly Mediterranean and creative.
