Da Alessandro, Italian restaurant in Puerto Varas, Chile.
Da Alessandro is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Puerto Varas, Chile, offering handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas. The space is simply arranged, with a focused menu that covers the main dishes of classic Italian cooking.
The restaurant was opened to bring genuine Italian cooking to the Los Lagos region at a time when that kind of food was hard to find there. It was among the first places in the area to focus on fresh pasta and wood-fired pizza as its core offering.
Da Alessandro is named after its founder, giving the place a personal feel that is noticeable from the moment you walk in. The dishes draw on Italian recipes while using ingredients sourced from the Los Lagos region, which you can taste directly on the plate.
Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially during the summer season when the restaurant fills up fast. It is worth mentioning any dietary needs when you reserve, as the menu is fairly focused and alternatives may be limited.
A real wood-fired oven is rare in this part of Patagonia, and here it is used every day of service. The wood comes from the surrounding region, which gives the dough a faintly smoky flavor that a standard oven cannot replicate.
