Obviously when one is in Italy, one should dine on the local cuisine. However, even Italian food…read morecan get repetitive. So what do you do then..you come here. The food was simply delicious.
This is an Argentinian steak house. They do meat well. We ordered the parilla for two, but there was enough food for three people. The meal started with a quad of homemade spreads and bread. While you try those delicious spreads, the cooks are in the back preparing your meat. And what delicious meat it is. They served the parilla on a cooking plate, which is laid along the side of the table. The parilla for two had pork sausage, beef ribs, pork fillets, and two different cuts of steak. The server expertly cuts the meat for you tableside, serves you, and leaves you to enjoy your meal. Coupled with the potato sides, which is part of the parilla experience, and bottle of red vino, you have a meal fit for a queen/king. On the table, they leave a trio of homemade sauces to accompany the steak. If you ask for A-1 sauce, this is not the place for you.
For dessert we had the dulce de leche crepes. For those of you who have tried the dulce de leche in Argentina and love the super sweet, tan colored goodness, then you are in for a treat.
The service is excellent. There are lots of staff to help you immediately. They all speak English. And if you know Spanish, you can speak to them in Spanish too. Maybe has something to do with the place being Argentinian, but it made my life easier. We arrived without reservations and we were accommodated. The decor is simple and casual. The walls are adorned with typical Argentinian items; for example, there is a wall of matcha tea drinking cups.
If you notice, the restaurant is only open for dinner and only open for 4.5 hours of dining. What does that tell you...they know their food, they know their service, they know their worth. Only a place that takes their craft seriously, can maintain being open for such short hours every day.
