The verdict
Trattoria Verdiana takes the lead
Trattoria Verdiana scores 8,1/10, ahead of Saloni (6,2). A trattoria in Manciano with a strong Tuscan menu: acquacotta, pappa al pomodoro, cinghiale, bistecca di razza maremmana and regional cheeses. Caveat: the 60 € bistecca and an average price of 43 € weigh on the bill.
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.
