In Grosseto, Ristoro da Poldo offers a menu of meat and seafood with tortelli maremmani, trippa alla fiorentina and pici, for an average price of €29.

  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (8,2 vs 7,6) : Affordable menu (pici from €9 to €15, contorni at €5, dolci at €5) with named products such as chianina DOP, for an average of €30.

Choose Ristoro da Poldo if…
