Fasano Restaurant Punta del Este
Uruguay
Fasano Restaurant gives the countryside outside Punta del Este a distinctly Italian dining address. Set high within the Fasano estate, it looks across the rocky landscape of Las Piedras and the surrounding settlements. The dining room is built into the rocks, making the natural setting part of the architecture. That relationship between indoors and out gives the restaurant a different character from a conventional seaside dining room. The kitchen follows Fasano's longstanding Italian tradition, with regional Italian cooking alongside local dishes. The combination gives visitors a way to explore the group's culinary approach in an unmistakably Uruguayan setting. This is a restaurant to consider when an evening meal deserves its own destination. Guests staying at Fasano can build it into a longer country retreat, while visitors to Punta del Este gain a reason to look inland and give the landscape as much attention as the plate.
