Divino Pecado Review

This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Viña del Mar because it combines all the elements of an enjoyable dining experience: owner-attended, a pleasant waitstaff, delectable fresh pastas and seafood, and a trattoria-style dining area that's cheery during the day, and romantic at night. For an aperitif, order a pisco sour -- this restaurant is known for its delicious Peruvian variety. Also, the wine list is extensive and offers excellent value for the price. Don't expect traditional Italian home-style cooking; each dish promises to be a taste sensation with interesting and unusual combinations of traditional Italian ingredients infused with ethnic herbs and spices and some modern European twists. "Black" raviolis are made with calamari ink and stuffed with curried shrimp, while the fettuccine with lamb is garnished with aromatic clumps of rosemary. Divino Pecado specializes in specialty fish such as sole, the delicate mero (grouper), and Easter Island tuna, and there are meats such as filet mignon. Pastas here are served very al dente, so let your waiter know if you'd like your noodles cooked some other way.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
