They make a mean whiskey or pisco sour. They didn't have pizza when I visited so I tried the pasta with red sauce. It was quite bland (but that's typical Chilean cuisine IMO). My friend had the salad with pears, blue cheese and chicken. Chicken was unseasoned but that's no surprise. The tiramisu was pretty good. Very creamy, I think they use cream cheese. It might not be traditional but it was tasty and definitely big enough to be shared.

Great service! Stunning sunset over the vineyard!!…read moreFantastic food with delicate attention to detail!!! Warning!!! The salads are huge and tasty. I probably could have done without the main or shared the salad. Perfect timing between courses. Can't think of anything I didn't like.

While La Famiglia was a bit expensive and the portions on the small side, the inside of the…read morerestaurant is just so beautiful that I have to give it 4 stars. If this was somewhere in LA, I would 100% use it as a party venue. They have bottles of wine adorning the walls, and it is designed with a rustic charm. The back outdoor patio is gorgeous, and there was an event going on there the night we dined there. Outside of the private event, the restaurant was pretty empty except for us and 2 other tables. I gather that it's a hard place to fill, so the prices need to be a bit on the higher side. All of the food is imported (mostly from Italy). The ground pepper had a spice to it that is amazing - be sure to ask for some on our salad and pasta if you like it a bit spicy. I had the seafood pasta which was good and had a fair amount of seafood, but could have used a bit more flavor. Adding the pepper helped. Because we were still hungry after each having a pasta dish and sharing a salad, we ordered an appetizer made of small stuffed peppers, which was very good (but small). Still hungry, we each ordered a dessert. I had chocolate ice cream that came out with like 3 scoops.. the most I've ever seen at a fancy restaurant like this. That sufficiently stuffed me. My bf had an amazing lemon dessert that was served like a piece of cake with layers of lemon sorbet and wedding cake. The best thing there for sure. We shared a bottle of the local Chamran Carmenere which was good but not great, but great for the price. We didn't eat at Vino Bello, which is the one in all the guide books so I can't compare, but I highly enjoyed our visit to La Famiglia.

After eating Italian food that had been imported the night earlier, we wanted to dine somewhere…read morethat had local food, so Club Social seemed to be the best option. The place was pretty much empty except for us and a couple at the next table watching TV and eating empanadas. There's both indoor and outdoor seating and it's pretty low key. We each started with an empanada which was pretty good, but not outstanding. There were two fish items on the menu so we each ordered one, but were both given the same - the "Lina". Not sure if it was a communication error or if the only had the one and figured we wouldn't know the difference (which we didn't, we actually thought they were different until we got the bill, even though they looked the same). The fish was really just okay. Being in Chile, I was hoping the seafood would be great, but it just wasn't. A bit salty and fishy, but otherwise not too flavorful. Disappointing. But it wasn't bad. The service was okay also; a bit slow to take our order but once they did our food came out quickly. It was only after we were done and working on finishing our bottle of wine that they just seemed to disappear. We had to hunt someone down to pay the bill. All in all, just okay. I probably wouldn't go back, but then again there aren't a whole lot of options in the area.
