Came here for an early dinner. In Buenos Aires, people usually start eating around 8pm or later. It was very empty when I arrived earlier than that. Service was fast though which so lied since I was so hungry. I recommend their nino. I do not recommend their eggplant parmesan - while the portion is huge, it is just not very delicious. I didn't think you could mess up eggplant Parmesan because I haven't messed it up and I'm not a great cook, but this place sadly missed the mark on it. Their nino is very well done though! The egg is runny and the pasta was cooked to perfection. They do charge a cubiertos price to eat in, which was about $3 USD for 2 people. Unfortunately they did not give us freshly grated Parmesan cheese when we asked for extra. read more

This restaurant does not have enough stars to reflect how good the food is. I came here on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. I loved the provola with mushrooms. Be careful because it comes out really hot and takes a bit of time to cool down enough to eat. For main dish it was hard to chose but I went with the agnolotti del plin because it was recommended by the server and it was delicious! Quite filling so I got to bring somE leftovers home. Ther service was impeccable. I will definitely add this as a must stop if you're in Palermo area. read more

Solid homemade Italian food with excellent service in Palermo Hollywood. Four of us went for dinner at 8:30 pm on a cold, rainy Saturday night. We were seated immediately in the covered outdoor structure under comfortable overhead heaters. They first served complimentary foccia and olive oil to dip. Our food came out in less than 15 minutes which I think is a record for Buenos Aires. This charming restaurant was full of local families and couples. For three pasta meals and only one Apperol Spritz with tip it was about $55 US - so not cheap but was worth it. read more

I was expecting a lot out of this because there are a lot of people here and it's pricier than the other restaurants. I had the ossobuco pasta which was recommended by the owner/maanager and it was so dry and bitter I didn't even finish the meal, and I was so hungry. The glass of wine I had was stale, but maybe because they usually sell bottles. The owner/manager was not very polite, she seemed more annoyed then willing to take my order. Other than the bread, it was an overall a bad experience. read more

Italiano in BA for sure? Small restaurant with very authentic Italian dishes. Fantastic starters polipettis my favorite (pulpo) (octopus) unfortunately It was frozen or canned.Main ossobuco to keep the Argentinian meat tradition. Súper. Good service busy place. Dessert Afigatto the best. A nice change from the typical parrilla that after a few days you need to come back to more healthy eating. read more

It's a warm, small Italian cantina. The staff is very kind and ready to explain the ingredients on each hand made pasta. I had an exquisite vegetarian meal, the Girandola, a mix of beetroot, spinach and goat cheese melted together. The description doesn't do justice to the experience. My husband and my son had more of traditional tomato sauce pasta. For desert we shared a dark chocolate and almond pie. Definitely a place to go if you like avoiding touristy places and would like to play as local Argentinian. read more

Cucina Paradiso - Definitely not the end of the world but I would love to have a bottle with me just in case - Italian Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

Worth A night out! Definitely the priciest dinner I've had in BA. Great quality food, but don't be surprised when the bill comes. There was also a $60 service fee that the waiter made sure to point out was not part of the tip. read more

I had a BAD experience here, it was my 2nd time this week and 4th time in 2 months. Every time I come to BS AS I stay next door and I was bringing business partners there. My first time it was great but we were the only 2 customers This time the service was very slow, many dishes were not available, we had to ask "what do you have" to order... This time the food was below expectations, I had to add plenty of salt to eat, and asked 4 times for Parmesan cheese which never arrive Every time there I go there I order St Pellegrino water to take, they served me a glass and took the cap. After asking then 40 min later they brought me a cap probably from the trash... but I wanted to trust them. Towards the end I requested my bill which tool at least 10 more minutes and another 10 minutes to charge. The tables that asked after us were gone when I finally got charge. I left and 3-4 minutes later realized I left the water, I went back and they said they trash it (no recicle?), I asked them why? They knew were I stay, 10 steps next door, what they didn't send it. They I requested a new one which the manager decline saying the register was closed! I insisted that it was poor customer service, they new me already and I am a very loyal customer, they said sorry we can't. After all this sum of events I realized that the employees do no care, and unfortunately I already told 8 business people that asked me about the place. One expensive water for a good restaurant since the ripple effect has already started. I would love to get a response from the owner. I'll be back in BsAs in 2 months. read more

When I heard about Cucina Paradiso and their homemade pasta dishes, I was very excited to try them out. Few who decide to hand make each plate of pasta have trouble marrying them with the well-balanced sauce befitting their creations. More benefit of the doubt was accorded upon seeing the setting, a cozy but cared for space stocked with an abundance Italian wares and wines. As we settled in to browse the menu, we realized the price points were more akin to some of the nicer steakhouses in the area than to what we had expected. But, we thought, that could only speak to the care they must put into their dishes. The wine list seemed verbose but upon inquiry we found that their cellar was not as well stocked as it seemed. Having to pass on a Sangiovese we would have preferred, we were recommended a fairly standard Argentinian merlot. The cubierto (service fee) included a weirdly conceived of and fairly bland potato bread (focaccia?) that had very faint hints of rosemary. As an appetizer we ordered the bruschetta Napoletana, which came to us warm but soggy rather than light and crisp as ought to be, and the tomatoes on top tasted aspirational, but came to us unfortunately under-seasoned. The tagliatelle Genovese was overcooked to a depressingly soft texture where each noodle held its shape on the plate but, as soon as you slurped them up, melded into an indistinguishable mash of under-salted semolina and sauce. The pesto employed a lifeless basil that seemed to have been processed rather than ground and the Parmesan cheese had a dry chalkiness to it that would not have been apparent in freshly grated Reggiano. The only redeeming factor was the crisped Parma ham that the plate wore like a crown and the pine nuts that were sprinkled throughout contributing much needed texture to an otherwise soggy mess of noodles. Before arriving at the restaurant, we had read that the tiramisu was well made but the rest of the food left us unappetizingly unable to risk ordering another dish. read more

Delicious, authentic, and a great place to spend a romantic evening. Don't expect opulence or to be treated like a VIP. Do expect to be immersed in an Argentine experience with great staff, cozy surrounds, excellent wine and food that will make your face melt. Perfect meal in a lovely place. read more

I love this location far more than the Belgrano one. It's intimate, takes no reservation (which means argie celebs wait outside in the street like the rest of ba) and the service is on point. My husband is Argentine and we lived in Palermo for years and would come here and then went back during a 5 day trip to ba. The burrata is a gift from the gods. It tastes so fresh, rich and has the most smooth salty finish. It usually comes with a fantastic variety of charcuterie, however, not a fan of the eggplant olive mix that comes with it. The flavor is off, it's overly sour and doesn't work well with the rest of the pallet. We have tried their pasta (skip the veggie options) and try the slow roasted lamb raviolis, lasagna and desserts. The tiramisu is outstanding and the zingy lemon cake with a custard is fantastic as well. One of the BEST parts of a meal here is the homemade focaccia which is pretty much endless, bless them. Service is usually on point (belgrano location was not though) which is always refreshing; sometimes Donato and his wife will actually be working tables too. Love love love a humble chef who can still get down and dirty in his own resto! read more

Perfectly cooked pasta, most made there. To keep the price more reasonable, the daily specials are the way to go. Service was good. Place is very small and does not seem to take reservations. Also it is a deli and shop for pastas, wines and spirits, olive oil and more. My be my go to place for Italian, and the occasional wonderful desserts. read more
