What makes it special isn't just the traditional recipes passed down through generations, but how Chilean ingredients and sensibilities have created something uniquely delicious. From wood-fired pizzerias that would make any Neapolitan proud to intimate trattorias serving handmade pasta, you'll find the kind of places where nonnas would actually want to eat.

This guide brings together ten exceptional Italian restaurants across Chile, each rated 4.5 stars or higher by thousands of diners who know their carbonara from their cacio e pepe. We're talking about spots with serious credentials, from beloved neighborhood institutions with tens of thousands of glowing reviews to hidden gems that locals guard jealously. Whether you're craving a perfectly charred Margherita pizza, silky fresh pasta, or that hard-to-find authentic Italian atmosphere, these restaurants deliver the real deal without the need for a plane ticket to Rome.
