Puerto Montt


Emilia-Romagna it ain't, but this long-standing and dependably consistent Italian offers a long list of pizza and pastas from the Motherland. Despite a Sicilian owner, it's not always authentic (why gnocchi al ragú but spaghetti alla bolognese?) but it's a good bet for a tasty meal and does offer a night off from Chilean staples. Good pisco sours as well.
