So we've been to Buenos Aires multiple times and this was our first wine tasting experience, booked through Viator with 3 wines and apps, it did not disappoint. We were directed to our table for the wine tasting by friendly staff, it was nice because it was just my husband and I. Our sommelier Javier was answered all our questions about Argentinian wines, and patient since both my husband and I were semi new to wines, also it didn't help that my husband was a bit tipsy from being at a brewery before we went for the tasting. The pours for the tasting was more than expected and not sure if it's because it was only two of us but we got a second pour for each type of wine. I ended up tipsy since my husband didn't drink the second pour. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and we bought a bottle recommended by Javier, that we will open for a special occasion soon. Will definitely come back for a romantic dinner next time we're in town, because this restaurant would be a perfect place to have a date, loved the setting, and the numerous types of wines. read more

Ahhhhhh! A dinner in BA without florescent lighting! This place is lovely. A perfect choice for a romantic night with your honey! If you're wanting the traditional 'parrilla' experience, keep looking. I loved it though! The service is fantastic. It seemed we had our very own person who looked after us. We started with a foie gras that was out off this world! I couldn't put my finger on a certain taste, until I tried a little dab of the sprinklings on the top. I thought it was shaved truffles, but it was actually a bittersweet chocolate! Never had that combination before, but it totally worked!! The salad was a little random for a Cesar, but we were fairly warned. The steak ( only one on the menu I believe) was outstanding! Evidently, you don't need to dine at a noisy brightly lit parrilla to get a good steak! Ask to see their wine "cellar"! We enjoyed every minute and every bite! read more

Great wine selection and insightful staff who help you choose your kind of wine. A calm atmosphere for a great wine time when in BA.

A "vinoteca" jazz restaurant/bar! Incredible ambiance, service, wine & food! Incredible!!! The somm was extremely knowledgeable and recommended us a bottle we've never heard of before: via revolucionaria (bonarda pura) we weren't disappointed one bit! Amazing! Definitely the best meal we had in B.A. read more

Romantic Room and epic wine list! This restaurant has a great room. Dimly lit and romantic with an old world vibe. Reminded me of Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village. 600 wines on the wine list. You definitely need the sommelier's help. Food was really good and something different for BA. We had duck egg with mushrooms and rice crisp, Burrata with tomato and strawberry, a pepper greens salad and tuna with cabbage and mustard. For dessert we had the Lemon Pie. The trout and the Burrata were highlights. Wine paired nicely. Don't go if you're in a hurry but I felt it was an excellent night. Prices were fair and there was wine for every budget on the list (the sommelier even, surprisingly, recommended something cheaper when my choice wasn't available read more

I made a reservation and they called me to change me the time, they didn't ask, they notify me. Service was terrible, one hour to get the food and 30mins to get the bill. Expensive and regular food. Don't go, waste of time read more

This was a fantastic little place that we stumbled on our first night in BA. We were unfortunately a little underdressed but the staff was great. Everything was amazing and a great find for the little side street on which it is tucked away! read more

I went here for a wine tasting by myself. It was one of the best wine tastings I attended in Buenos Aires. It also was the best deal for a wine tasting that I found in the city. Some of the wine that I purchased here when I came back to the states I found it to be five times as expensive in the states. They obviously sell their wine at a great price at this restaurant. The wind and the pairings were perfectly matched and you could tell the staff was very knowledgeable about their wines. Next time I'm in Buenos Aires I will definitely be coming back. read more

Adorable spot in the San Telmo area. I loved listening to jazz music while sipping a cuba libre during happy hour (7-9pm). I ordered the rabbit pasta and it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had in my life. Great spot for a date or even just sitting by yourself at the bar. read more

I will say that Aldo's was next to our hotel so we frequented several times for late night noshs. the plan was to go once but we went three times. food was simple but excellent the wine list is amazing( but it's Argentina) wait staff was impeccable and friendly even with out little Spanish. if you are staying in BA awhile I would suggest going on a Sunday to pick up a bottle or wine to take with you at a 20% discount. we picked up a moderate bottle and have since found out that that wine just came on the market it the is and is 3x the price. read more

Outstanding. We came here based on a recommendation spotted in a LAN in-flight magazine. It didn't disappoint. An excellent Italian restaurant in San Telmo that also serves as a vinoteca with, what appears to be, all Argentine wines. Although a little on the pricey side for what you received it was outstanding and worth the price. My son and i enjoyed every dish. In particular the grilled octopus with potatoes was generous and superbly made. I also enjoyed my braised lamb whike my son loved his saffron risotto. I would return. read more

What a fantastic spot. We happened upon this place while walking the streets of San Telmo and weren't at all expecting to find a restaurant the caliber of Aldo's on the unassuming side street it's located on. The staff was remarkably helpful, from our waiter, who spoke terrific English, to the sommelier who directed us to two wonderful glasses of Argentine wines paired with our meals. But the food ! We're from NYC and used to good restaurants, but Aldo's food surpasses even our favorite high end eateries. I had the 'piglet' which was delicately cooked pork, with a pumpkin puree next to it. On top were a few pieces of pork rind, but under that, resting on the pork was a scoop of sorbet made from raspberries and vinaigrette. I don't know who thought of making something like this, but it is brilliant, and absolutely brought the dish to new levels. It was perfect with the taste of the pork. It was inventive, and provocative, and we knew there was a chef back there who was really thinking outside of the box. We also had the goat, which was beautifully prepared and accompanied by some mashed potatoes. For dessert I tried a once in a lifetime kind of invention made from frothed yoghurt, tomatoes, and the jelly of cherries from Japan. I ordered it because I knew I would never have such an opportunity again, and it was beyond delicious. There's no way to adequately describe this treat, I just encourage you to experience it yourself. read more

Best meal of three I've had in Buenos Aires. Found on Yelp and chose based on the recommendations. The wine tasting is on Tuesdays until 7:00 and people were lined up. I did not know about it so simply dined in the restaurant. The sommelier was very nice and they had several great reds by he glass for 70 seems like a great value. Had the Cab and Merlot. Noticing the wine tasting is being discussed in Spanish. I had the spinach and trout salad very good. Also had the lamb confit, also very good, which is when I decided to post. Great place. Very good! I came back here a second time, this is so much better than what seems to be typical Argentina steak places. The wine is great, the music awesome, the staff very nice (and can help me since I know no Spanish, unfortunate American), and the food has been great twice. On this Thursday they had a 5 plate 5 wines for 470. Into the second course and it is tremendous. The Sommelier was very nice. read more

Really outstanding service. We went for an early lunch. Food was nice. Pretty pricey. Staff spoke English and menus in English/Spanish. Sommelier recommended wine. read more

Lunch with six. Outstanding. Highly recommend Aldo's for a rich experience. We all tried different dishes as well as appetizers and desserts. No disappointments. And, the owner was very personable and a complete joy. read more
