The verdict
Taverna di Mozart takes the lead
Taverna di Mozart scores 8,8/10, ahead of Le Chiuse (8,3) et Il Poggio di Teo (7,6). In Castiglione d'Orcia, Taverna di Mozart serves Tuscan cuisine with pici, Cinta senese and pecorino di Pienza, and a view over the Val d'Orcia. Drawback: €45 per person in the upper range and access via an unpaved road.
Choose Il Poggio di Teo if…
- your budget matters: from €30 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,8). Map anchored in Maremma: chianina, costata maremmana, maialino, carré di cervo nostrano, local catch; black Angus, wagyu and bison pull toward the international.
Choose Le Chiuse if…
- you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 98 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
