We ate here last night (a Wednesday), having turned up on a Tuesday and the restaurant being closed (they are open Wednesday to Sunday). Firstly, I would advise you to book in advance as we had the options of eating outside (cold!) or eating at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be great,... More

A small, cozy, remarkable restaurant. The owner/manager, Patricio, made even the oven himself. Always there overlooking every detail. If the weather is good, ask for the terrace. Intimate, shaded by a nice lemon tree and with fragrant spices that make the dinner a well rounded relaxed experience.

We ate in the patio out the back under some of the biggest lemons i've ever seen and grape vines; monster basil bushes behind me. Good service (the savblanc was not cold) but the pizzas were outstanding --- some of the best i've ever had anywhere! Wood fired oven, thin crust, top ingredients. Very pleasant lunch after a lovely stroll... More

Looking for pizza in Valparaiso? Look no further. We called ahead for take out but they insisted they would not prepare it until we were in the restaurant. The restaurant was so inviting, we decided to dine there. One of the best pizzas I have ever had. And yes, I have been to italy.

Sitting outside under a lemon tree eating some of the best pizza I've had outside of Italy? Perfect.

If you are in the mood for italian while you are in Chile, I strongly recommend Malandrino. We ate there twice with excellent food and service both times around. All the pizzas were delicious and the panna cotta is heavenly. If you drink wine, I really liked the Carmenere Adobe. The atmosphere is rustic and if the weather is nice... More

We visiten It twice while visiting Valparaiso. Malandrino is one of the best Italian joints in town. Its pizzas are wonderfully done, but please, give the panna cotta a try, it's simply marvelous. You close your eyes and the dessert will do the rest. The place is kind of small, so try to call earlier and book a table, otherwise... More

My husband and I, stopped at Malandrino for lunch, yesterday. We arrived early, and there were people only on a couple of tables. We didn't have reservations (had made one through internet, but they never confirmed back), so the only waiter in the restaurant showed us a tiny table on the corner. As the restaurant was almost empty, I asked... More

While fellow restaurant Allegretto has good big pizzas, ideal for sharing with friends, Malandrino is all about quality and freshness of the ingredients. The place is also warm and nice, and the chef has a good attention to detail. To sum up: great fresh pizzas.
