It's a bit on the expensive side, but you are definitely getting what you pay for. I can't emphasize enough how nice the staff is! Possibly the best service I've ever experienced in Chile. My recommendation - try the locos as an appetizer and order the pasta trio. Delicious and filling, you will not regret it.

When I had dinner here, I was one of only two tables, which is a shame given the calm ambiance and delicious food. The gnocchi was awesome, and the server paired it with a nice wine. I had a ginormous 3-tiered chocolate cake and espresso for dessert...for a city that has been a let-down for a coffee lover, their espresso was miles above the other local options. Also, the server not only worked with my lack of Spanish, he tried very hard to make conversation and ask about my trip, etc. Highly recommend!

We sat at a sidewalk table, since it was a lovely night, and were ignored for a while. A few cold rolls were then brought to the table, and a waiter took our order. The house salad had no dressing on it, came with lime halves, which we used together w/ the oil & balsamic vinegar on the table. I ordered Vermicelli Bolognese, which did not have much sauce and was very light on flavor. My husband enjoyed his vegetarian lasagne w/ pomodoro sauce. Strangely there did not seem to be any garlic or many herbs in their version of Italian food. We had walked quite a distance to get to this area/restaurant and did not feel like it was worth the trek.

Best kept Italian secret in Santiago!…read more Why? Because the price is right with huge portions of homemade pasta!! This place is always busy with locals! Definitely a casual place. They also own the cafe across the street and a pick up fresh frozen pasta separate entrance. The restaurant entrance is on the side of the building as if you were entering someones home, and this place keeps on going and going. They obviously kept expanding the restaurant space into different living areas of the location. They have a toy room for the children to play. My personal favorite dining location is in the open air back patio that has small water fountains with flowers in the summer. When ordering in Chile many waiters and restaurants are not willing to change the plate to your specific request. This is not one of them! If a dish has a sauce that usually comes on it and you would prefer a different one not a problem! Im not saying the service is always polite but the food is good. My personal favorite is the homemade ricotta cheese ravioli with nuts and the tomatoes and creme sauce. Ravioli de Ricotta y nueces con sala rossa. Yum! I love it so much that we would go to the take home entrance of the fresh frozen pasta and pick up boxes of the Raviloli - Ricotta y Nueces as well as Ravioli de Ricotta y Jamón and Ravioli de Carne to take home and make for ourselves throughout the month. Whipped up some homemade sauce and its so easy and delicious. 1box is good for 2 adult servings. Definitely recommend this location for tourists during lunch!

I had a half Mediterranean Salad, and the Spaghetti Frutti di Mare. Unlike some versions, there was plenty of seafood gracing the dish. And all the pasta is so fresh! The chef/owner comes around frequently to make sure everything is going well. And it is -- servers are professional and attentive, the food is awesome, and you can get wine by the glass, half bottle or bottle. They have a good cocktail list too. I highly recommend Rivoli, and hope to be back again, but bring a credit card, or at least the Chilean equivalent of a couple of Benjamins.

Let's just say: I love Italian food. I may be slightly bias to Italian food but I don't think that…read morefactor played a role in how good I thought this food was. I got a margarita pizza that had soft mozzarella, creamy marinara sauce, and soft dough( it was a bit wet but, we can't be perfect). My mom got risotto nero and she said it was rich, flavorful, and had the right contrast. My dad got papardelle carbonara and he simply said it was awsome. My cousin and my uncle also had the same dish. My aunt had insalata di lo chef and I was unable to get a full description but I assure you, she looked like she loved it. Do not be deterred by the three $ on yelp, the food is reasonably priced. P.S. The men's bathroom is behind a secret door in the second floor no joke.

There are many fine dining choices at Valle Navado, but Don Giovanni ended up being our prime choice. The food is incredible, the service excellent, and early reservations earn you a complementary glass of wine. We tried a wide variety of dishes, including appetizers, entrees, and desserts and everything was excellent. This makes it tough to recommend single dishes, but I will say that you should come hungry as the portions are quite large. You also have access to a small antipasto bar at your arrival and that aforementioned glass of wine which can be earned with a 6:30 PM (18:30) reservation. It's best to not overindulge at apres ski and instead save room for the excellent food you will find here. It seems that it would be quite expensive to eat at this delicious place if you do not purchase or win a package that includes dinner. For this reason, I would seriously consider doing such a thing. Also, be sure to tip your excellent servers at least 10% upon departure.

Both were very well seasoned, which was a big plus. They do not offer more upscale items such as, veal scallopini, or chicken marsala, or chicken piccata. That is why I gave them four stars. Finally, they have a nice anti-pasta bar as a starter. And the staff was very friendly. I would definitely make reservations there when you visit - for the food and especially for the restaurant atmosphere. Dan - The United States
