Fodor's Expert Review Fuente Toscana

One of the most exciting gastronomic opportunities anywhere between Santiago and Lima, Fuente Toscana has quickly established itself as one of Chile's best restaurants. Offering Mediterranean foods made with local products, the family-run restaurant serves affordable and delicious dishes such as gnocchi with pesto; only here, it's made with local almonds instead of pine nuts and local cilantro instead of basil. The dish is held together with generous amounts of goat cheese. Produce is sourced from more than 70 local providers. Wine is sourced from the most exciting surrounding vineyards, and the owner drives to the coast on an almost daily basis to source his fresh fish. Don't miss out on the goat cheese starter (prepared four ways), the river shrimp, or the house special dessert, Corazón de Café.
