The verdict
Cristall and Ricci Osteria Del Lago neck and neck
7,8 versus 7,7: 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 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 Ricci Osteria Del Lago if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (7,4 vs 6,9) : Umbrichelli, lamb on the grill, cannellini beans and tozzetti with vin santo: several regional dishes, but the menu is otherwise generic Italian.
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,1 vs 7,7) : Affordably priced menu (primi 15-20 €, secondi 10-18 €) and 23 € per person in the budget range, for dishes named such as grilled lamb: good value for money.
- you trust travellers: 9,2/10 from 124 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Tosco's word
Cristall wins on the Toscane Cachée Score (7.8 vs. 7.7), with a service rating of 8.7 and a food rating of 8.3, and its price of €20 per person stays consistent with what is served, which makes it the choice for anyone who wants to eat in Grosseto itself. Ricci Osteria Del Lago, in Bolsena, stands out on value for money (8.1) and setting (8.2), but its address is far from Grosseto: it suits someone who is already on the shores of the lake.
