The verdict
Trattoria Il Nibbio takes the lead
Trattoria Il Nibbio scores 6,7/10, ahead of Saloni (6,2). Trattoria in Manciano rooted in Maremma: cinghiale alla maremmana, pici, trippa alla montemeranese, pappa al pomodoro, for about €25 per person. Drawback: the long list of pizzas somewhat dilutes the regional character of the menu.
Choose Saloni if…
- you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 7 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,9). A few named regional dishes (pinci with lamb ragù, bistecca alla fiorentina, battuta di chianina), but the menu remains mostly Mediterranean and creative.
