The verdict
Horta Grill Bar takes the lead
Horta Grill Bar scores 8,6/10, ahead of La Quadra (7,9). Josper-grilled meats and named cuts (Pezzata Rossa, wild boar, guinea fowl), homemade trafilate al bronzo pasta, meals possible by the pool and free parking. The menu mixes Tuscan specialties and burgers in an industrial setting, at about 35 € per person.
Choose Horta Grill Bar if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,6), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
- you prioritise typicité locale (7,2 vs 6,7) : Named regional dishes (pici with wild boar, Maremma Carnaroli risotto, Pezzata Rossa) but also burgers on the menu, which limits the Tuscan anchoring.
- you trust travellers: 9,6/10 from 842 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose La Quadra if…
- your budget matters: from €31 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,7). Meat cuisine rooted in Italian terroir (Chianina, km0 cheeses) but several Sardinian dishes (malloreddus, maialino) and Emilian-Roman ones, little from the Maremma.

Tosco's word
Horta Grill Bar takes the lead on the Toscane Cachée rating (8.6 vs. 7.9) and on cuisine, ranked among the top 3% of the catalogue with its homemade pasta and Josper grills, while La Quadra stays within the 27% with its paccheri and chianina. For a meal by the pool, free parking and a more clearly Tuscan atmosphere despite the burgers, choose Horta Grill Bar, even though you pay €4 more per person. La Quadra, with its brick vaults in the historic center and its Sardinian and Emilian influences, will suit a small budget or a desire for simple meat, but the gap in local typicity between the two remains slim.
