Choose Valbona if…

your budget matters: from €30 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
you trust travellers: 9,2/10 from 385 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,4). The menu is Italian with a focus on sea fish; the salsa verde fiorentina and the worked fish recall the Tuscan coast, but no local products are named.
