The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Chile

One of the best places to eat in Arica. For those with a sweet tooth, the house specialty is the homemade ice cream. They are among the best in the country. Italian cuisine is also in the spotlight, with all sorts of specialities: pizzas, pastas and carpaccios at a very good price-quality ratio. The restaurant also has another address in Calle Paul Rey 2592, which is just as pleasant and has just as much choice, a stone's throw from the beach.

On the square, or almost, an excellent restaurant with an always lively atmosphere. Here, Italian flavours meet Patagonian local products, and it's a great success. Neither too trendy nor too classic, the cuisine is generous and one is easily surprised by creative combinations. Try the ravioli de la estancias, a cult dish that combines lamb ravioli, red wine and walnut sauce. Or try the fetuccini correntoso (shrimp, pancetta and mushrooms). A popular address where you will be well served.

In 2022, the neighborhood inaugurated Chile's first paninoteca! Paninis, the famous Italian sandwiches, are the stars of this small local. Take a seat at the few tables on the terrace and let yourself be seduced by the tempting menu. Behind the stove, Italian chef Nicola Schincaglia offers speck, smoked prosciutto, mortadella with pistachios and pecorino cheese made from sheep's milk. We recommend you try the Quel Bravo Ragazzo menu, with three panini choices to try as you go.

This excellent pasta and Italian cuisine restaurant is centrally located on the square. Against a background of Latin music, the friendly and smiling staff offer a quality menu with correct prices. Here, it is the owners who are in the kitchen and who ensure the complete satisfaction of your stomachs. The pizzas are very good (fortunately they don't skimp on cheese!) the local specialities, such as salmon or hake are there and most of the dishes are homemade. A safe bet in the heart of the city.

Very good Italian restaurant, well decorated and with smiling service. It has been serving food for over 20 years. You can find simple but delicious creations: various antipastos, excellent pasta and lasagne. For our part, we fell in love with the cannellone (especially with crab or jaiba). The house also offers a good wine list. A good address to enjoy without breaking your wallet. You can find the restaurant at another address in San Pedro de la Paz street and in the historical centre.

A small Italian restaurant that seduces for the quality of its dishes: tuna carpaccio, fettucine de merquén and its lamb stew (our best choice), rabbit in a casserole, saltimboca a la romana... the flavours are surprising and up to our expectations. The dishes are beautifully presented and the service is friendly and pleasant. A good address all in delicacy which will please in particular the couples in the search of an intimate framework. Remember to make a reservation as the restaurant is small and can sometimes be a victim of its success!

An institution for almost 50 years. A map with Italian influences, whose pasta is always appreciated, like homemade steaks (with ham, cheese, fries). However, it is sometimes uneven.

Lunch menu, good food, including pizzas and pasta.

Italian cuisine: pasta (the best choice), pizza… A dish to try: smoked trout ravioli. Good atmosphere.

Italian specialities, including good fresh pasta. Antipasti, carpaccio, gnocchis, lasagna, risottos, fettucini… Very correct together.

Good pasta and excellent pizzas in this room often full (therefore need to be patient) located in a residential area. Also parrilladas for carnivores.

Good pizzas made by Pierre (French) and which can be delivered to your hotel.

Cozy restaurant of Italian cuisine, also offering good meat, fish, pizza, seafood and some Asian dishes. An option that will convince everyone, however, since there is definitely something for everyone! We advise you to concentrate on the house specialty, namely risottos, lasagne or stuffed pasta, or to go for seafood: it's fresh and local. The whole remains correct although we sometimes regret the portions that may be small.
