Reviews
Good atmosphere (just missing couches) and service but food is not good. Too simple, over salted and over-spiced. Doesn’t look good either
What a wonderful place. Truly 10/10. After seven months in Argentina, this is honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The service was absolutely beautiful - for the first time here I was even served fish with a PROPER fish knife and fork. Such a small detail, but it says everything about the care they put into what they do. The fish was delicious, the carbonara was easily the best I’ve ever tried, and the tiramisu was lighter than a cloud. And the coffee - finally a real Italian coffee, EXACTLY the way it should be. We were welcomed by the warmest, kindest owner. The whole experience just felt special. I would happily come back again and again and again.
This is a first rate, most enjoyable and delicious delight. The owners and staff are engaging and go beyond welcoming guests to their intimate restaurant. The food, including a delicious bread basket, is outstanding. I am already dreaming of returning for the pasta limone topped with langostinos. Many thanks to the staff.
This place is delicious and in the best location. Order the shrimp and limone pasta. So good.
We had a fabulous dinner here while visiting Buenos Aires! The service is incredible. We enjoyed the focaccia, table-made Caesar salad (a must have!), and the pizza. The red blend was perfect, and my husband loved his Negroni. The restaurant is very chic and intimate. We can’t wait to go back one day!
