Trattoria da Pietro — Restaurant in Pucón

I'm so surprised how bad this place was given the reviews - I really wanted to like it but the food was just so bad. Weirdly however the speed of service was some of the best I've had in the last month in Argentina.

The appetizer was plain bad. The bread wasn't cooked well and the cheese was just a tasteless lukewarm glob. Two of our four will happily eat anything with cheese in it, but they didn't even care for it.

I thought it might be a fluke but my gnocchi was terrible. It was a crappy store bought package (at least it tasted like the one I've bought from the grocery store here) with really terrible store bought sauce - like the kind where they just stuff a bunch of preservatives into a jar with some "tomato product". The mushrooms were okay. Two others ordered fettucini and said it was similarly bad. I could see it was clumped together but didn't taste either.

Also, when one person ordered a glass of wine, the bottle ran out prematurely. Instead of bringing another bottle, she was just left with a lackluster pour (see picture).

I have a suspicion either our experience was a fluke or some of these reviews are disingenuous. Either way, I would definitely lower your expectations if you...

Estuvimos en el verano, como casi todos los veranos para ser ciertos. Es un buen local, "en pucon". Conversamos con el dueño quien se acerca a nuestra mesa y nos pide opinion. Tratando de ser lo mas consciente posible le señalo "te falto el peso para el kilo" . El plato era sabroso pero egoista. Ravioli di manso con pomodoro al funghi. Me indica que son los 135grs que se sirven en todo el mundo y blablablabla. Eran 7, a mi juicio tremendamente egoista, en buen chileno, un plato cagón considerando que los ravioles eran pequeños. Su explicacion es que en italia piden entrada, antipasto, otras alternativas y como plato de fondo las pastas. Aun asi, si no pido nada de eso el plato debiera, como minimo, dejarte satisfecho y no mirando para el lado. Usando la teoria del socio me señalo que hablaria con su sra (jajajajaja) muy viejo y malo ese truco. Fuera de pucon es un restaurant de pastas y punto. En pucon es un buen restaurant, algo sobrevalorado y, algunos platos muy egoistas. Le hable de Capitan Pastene, me dijo no conocer, pero es una colonia italiana y le dije que le mostraria platos de alli cuando me fuera de pucon camino a casa. Pues bien, para desmemtirte y que me alegabas que tus 135grs son la norma, osea 7 ravioles egoistas, te muestro fotos del restoran Anita Corvili. Comparados con los de tu restaurant hay muuucha distancia.

Finalmente, fui en una segunda oportunidad, antes de ir a capitan pastene, y en esa ocasion pedi unos ravioles en salsa 4 quesos conocida popularmente pero que uds llaman formaggi o algo asi. Intelectualmente sabia que tenia queso azul, pues le recalque al garzon (cristian? No recuerdo, deseale buen viaje a australia) que mi favorito es el queso azul, que disminuya los otros pero que se note que hay queso azul. Pues bien, reitero, intelectualmente sabia que habia queso azul, mi paladar nunca se dio cuenta. Pero antes, para darle en el gusto al dueño pedimos una antipasto, la pichanga italiana inspirada en la pichanga chilena, como para ver si ahi sus platos no eran tan egoistas para el precio. Buena pero nada del otro mundo y aun asi los platos, ravioles egoistas :)

We were very excited about this but had mixed reviews. While the mains were nice, and the pasta tasted homemade, the arancini starter was bland and undercooked. It was served on a bed of what tasted like cold tinned tomatoes with no seasoning whatsoever. We also suspected the sauces in the mains may have been defrosted as it was a bit watery.

While the service was fine (but very quick) and the staff were friendly, there was a lack of atmosphere and we were only one of two couples there on a Saturday night.

Overall, we’d be skeptical to recommend eating here unless they...
