The verdict

Morgante GEO food & wine takes the lead

Morgante GEO food & wine scores 8,3/10, ahead of Cristall (7,8). In Gavorrano, the economy restaurant (€24 on average) serves a Tuscan and Maremman menu including tortelli maremmani, cinghiale, peposo and cinta senese. The presence of more generic dishes like carbonara or Sacher torte dilutes the regional line somewhat.

Choose Cristall if…
