With its extensive Italian menu and lively atmosphere, this is a place not to be missed when in Temuco. The pizza and pasta are spectacular, but do try their desserts as well (churro with manjar and nutella is heavenly). Reserve ahead on weekends to beat the crowds as their excellent food has locals coming back for more repeatedly.

Gustoso Pizza

Good, quality pizza is the specialty at Gustoso. You must pay more for premium styles, but if you appreciate a slowly fermented, thin-crust pizza with quality Italian cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and all manner of healthy toppings like arugula, then you'll leave happy.
