Ristorante Rivagiotti Poggio Cavallo In Grosseto

07/07/2024: Elegant restaurant with very friendly staff. The raw materials are of high quality and the combinations are certainly interesting. We didn't enjoy the experience much despite having taken a tasting menu with wine pairing. We were surprised by the complete lack of attention for a little dog we had with us: we weren't even offered a small bowl of water. It's worth it, but there are some elements that surprised us negatively: the bathroom was old and not very well looked after and the entrance, perhaps not the main one, was a bit abandoned with some boxes in front of the counter. In short, having already had many experiences in starred restaurants, we can say that the food is worth it, but the expectations for a two-star restaurant were decidedly high and not fully satisfied.

17/06/2024: An evening of surprises, all positive. The approachability and creativeness of the menu, the outstanding wine list (with very reasonable prices), the graceful service, and the wonderful setting. Most impressive that the hostess has been here for over half a century, there must be something magical in the water… most certainly worth a visit. Nota bene … several reviews confuse the simpler “Giardino” with the 2 Michelin star restaurant “Caino”. This review is for the latter, which has tasting menus from ca. €200.
