The verdict
La Collina takes the lead
La Collina scores 8,6/10, ahead of Pura Crocus (8,0). In Pitigliano, La Collina relies on its own production (salumi, lardo, agnello) and a named Tuscan menu: pici, cinghiale, peposo del Brunelleschi. Its limitation: a house on the SR 74, on the outskirts, with a simple setting.
