Buonatesta is a bit more than a typical Italian restaurant. Yes, the staff prepare pastas. The restaurant also has a menu with half and full pizzas that have natural tomato sauce and a plethora of toppings, such as tons of gooey cheese. Vegetarians will find plenty to eat here, like spinach-ricotta-walnut stuffed ravioli.

But what sets Buonatesta apart is the home-brewed beer: red ale, pale ale and a quite excellent stout. The owner has another branch of Buonatesta (Fresia 243) and Focaccia (Monday, Tuesday noon-4 p.m., 6-11:30 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday noon-11:30 p.m. Fresia 161, Tel.: 44-4821, E-mail: focaccia@somoschile.cl) serving the same creations.

Whole pizza from $8, pastas from $7. Open Monday-Friday noon-3:30 p.m., 6-11:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday noon-midnight.
