The verdict
L'Uva e Il Malto takes the lead
L'Uva e Il Malto scores 8,3/10, ahead of Molo 26 (7,6). Restaurant in Grosseto distinguished by two gamberi, with pici with bottarga di Orbetello, filetto di Chianina and an emphasis on fish, for an average price of €40. The menu also includes foie gras and pane carasau, which slightly dilutes its Maremman roots.
