Steps from the sea and directly across from the José Ignacio lighthouse, Il Faro is the village's Italian card: Neapolitan-style pastas, risottos, meats and catch of the day, plus a pizza many rank among the best on the coast, pulled from a traditional wood-fired oven. In the kitchen are genuine Italian chefs, with chef Alessandro as the face of the house.

The place is large by village standards, with the lively feel of a trattoria — ideal for groups and families wanting a change from grilled fish. Prices match the prime location, but the combination of Neapolitan pizza, sunset and lighthouse backdrop makes the visit worth it. Book ahead in January, when the village is at full tilt.
