The verdict
Locanda del Briganti 1969 takes the lead
Locanda del Briganti 1969 scores 8,1/10, ahead of Massimo vini e cucina (7,1). In Marina di Grosseto, Giovanna and Daniele focus on Maremman meat — Fiorentina at 50 €/kg, taglieri del brigante — and a Tuscan menu at 33 € per person. A deliberately unpretentious setting: for lovers of hearty, meaty dishes.
Choose Locanda del Briganti 1969 if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,1), level with or ahead on rapport qualité/prix et typicité locale
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,7 vs 7,7) : Pici with wild boar, Fiorentina maremmana, chianina, lardo maremmano, pecorino, Morellino di Scansano: a highly regional menu, plus a section of Maremman burgers.
- you trust travellers: 9,4/10 from 117 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Choose Massimo vini e cucina 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 (7,7). Several named regional dishes (peposo alla fiorentina, gnudi maremmani, Maremma cheeses with local honey, cantucci with vin santo) and local products.

Tosco's word
Locanda del Briganti 1969's Toscane Cachée score (8.1) beats that of Massimo vini e cucina (7.1), and its traveler reviews (9.4 out of 117) are much more flattering than its rival's 8.7 out of 178. If you want a very regional menu, generous portions and a no-frills atmosphere, head to Giovanna and Daniele for their pici with wild boar and their Fiorentina, even at €3 more. Massimo, with its homemade fresh pasta and peposo, suits a simpler surf-and-turf meal better, but its setting (6.2) and service (6.5) are clearly behind, so I'm picking the Locanda.
