    Has a reputation as being one of the most authentic Neapolitan restaurants in the city. Let's just…read moresay they should take a trip to the beaches (spiagge) of Naples, and sample some of the actual food of the region, because this ain't it. Four of us descended on the place for our weekly lunch.... The only dish we all really liked, and actually, one of the better versions of lengua a la vinagreta (tongue in vinaigrette) that I've had here in BA. Tender as could be and really well seasoned and tangy. Easily the worst thing on the table, gummy, cold, unseasoned and unpleasant eggplant fritters. Nothing redeemable about these. Not even doused with lemon juice and salt. Famous for their pastas... the thing is, Naples is more famous for their dried pasta dishes - thin ribbon pastas like spaghetti and linguine, and tube shaped pastas like paccheri and ziti. So maybe our fault for what we ordered, although the only one of those four that was available on the menu was spaghetti. Fussili with pesto. Okay, the pasta itself was pretty well made, and cooked al dente. But the pesto was little more than chopped basil and garlic in a whole lot of oil. A whole lot. Beneath that pile of pasta is a roughly 1/2″ deep pool of cheap olive oil. No salt, no cheese, no pinenuts. No dice. There is a Neapolitan lasagna. It's a lasagna replacing the meat sauce with a tomato sauce, and replacing the bechamel with ricotta. This did have the ricotta, but then it was layered with ham and cheese (that's very Argentine, not Italian), a lot of cooked spinach, and then topped with bolognese (although, to be fair, while it was the waiter's recommendation, we did have the option of ordering it with classic Neapolitan tomato sauce, which, it turns out, we should have). There is actually a Neapolitan version of bolognese, inspired by the classic ragu of Bologna, using ground beef, carrots, and tomatoes - so this was more or less that. It's just that none of it came together. We will give them that the meatballs weren't bad - surprisingly light, and quite well seasoned, and... there's that tomato sauce that should have been on the lasagna! All around, however, kind of a fail, and we choose to disagree with the assessment of it being an authentic Neapolitan spot.

    Definitely a local favorite but not a tourist friendly place as no one even the patrons understood…read moreanything other than Spanish. Google translate doesn't help either. Waited 15 minutes in the table to be acknowledged. Ordered steak medium rare, told him 'jugoso' at least ten times but steak still come out well done. Ordered

    They charge a reasonable cubiertos price about 2.000 for a group of two. I had their quiche with…read morespinach and egg and was surprised by the texture of the crust. It was more soft and doughy than I expected. Most quiche crust is a short crust pastry and tends to be crumbly, and this crust was decidedly not that. It felt like I was eating bread. I didn't mind, personally. It was very filling and I ended up taking half of it home. The lettuce it came with was fresh. They provide you fresh olive oil and salt. Like most dishes I've had in Argentina, I find that I need to add salt or black pepper to enhance the existing flavors. Unfortunately, there was no black pepper provided at this restaurant. The pasta was supposed to be a ziti with a mushroom sauce but as you can tell from the pictures - this was not ziti. It was cooked well, and I liked that they grated the Parmesan for you, but it was an average tasting pasta dish. Ambiance was nice and casual. Service was friendly.

    The food here was fantastic! Set across the street from Recoleta Cemetery, at Recoleta Mall, you'll…read morefind this delicious restaurant. Originally, we had not planned to eat here, but a torrential downpour came out of nowhere left us stranded and hungry in the vicinity of the mall, and this seemed like a good place. Even though Quotidiano is in the mall, the entrance from inside the mall is closed, so you have to enter through the street entrance. Now, to characterize Quotidiano would be to say it's part bakery, part Italian and all deliciousness! The pasta was freshly made and serve a perfect al dente. We tried the Puttanesca Tagliatelle and fried ravioli- all of which was great! I was also having a bit of a sweet tooth moment and ordered a banana shake, which was the BEST BANANA SHAKE of my entire life! The atmosphere is great, it was busy and the smalls in the air were intoxicating- you know you're in for a treat when the air in the restaurant is fragrant and in a way is a glimpse into the meal itself. The service was a little inattentive at times, but given that there was a massive rainstorm going on, and the power flickered on and off a few times; I'd assume there was other stuff going on behind the scenes. No biggie. We needed to ride out the storm anyway, so no worries about that. It was also fun to look at other diners plates and appreciate all the beautiful and tasty dishes they were eating. Quotidiano is definitely an incredible restaurant and I would definitely be back in a heartbeat. The food was extraordinary and I'm so glad we happened upon it.

Situated in the Recoleta neighborhood, it's known for its house-made pastas. And, ultimately, yes, I was grown up enough to eat there, although, since I'm not a wine drinker, I felt I was missing out on the total experience. The decor of the restaurant is very elegant with lots of wood. We dined on the second level and were treated to an excellent view of the diners below. Being as there weren't many non-alcoholic drink options I had water. This is one area of opportunity. I would've loved to have something like a fruity cocktail to complement my dish. As an appetizer, we had the Corn Polenta with Prawns. It was an interesting dish with tender prawns and a seafood broth poured over the polenta. Very good. For my entree, I had a very rich pasta dish called Tagliatelle with Creamy Spinach and Ham. This was a delicious dish- let me tell you, the standout was the ham which was very mild and not heavily salted. That dish was a 5/5! For dessert I chose the Panna Cotta, it was a little too sweet for my liking. We also passed on the complementary Limoncello at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed our visit to Sottovoce, the main dish was spectacular, but the other elements bookending the main were a little less than spectacular. Nonetheless, I would definitely return for the Tagliatelle, but next time try a different appetizer and dessert.
