On the waterfront in Puerto Madero, you'll find Itálica Pizza. A true gem of deliciousness. Because it was along the waterfront, my first assumption was that it may be a subpar tourist trap, but to my complete delight; it was reasonably priced and very delicious.
I think this place is the bee's knee's, but to be fully transparent, there are a few things I should get out of the way: one thing that this establishment lacks is air conditioning. It's not so much a problem, since I'm always cold, but even in the middle of Summer it was a bit on the warmer side, but they had windows open and as the afternoon gave way to evening, it seemed to cool down.
There is only one unisex bathroom and it's pretty scary- but this plus the A/C issues are the only things I would hope improve in the future, but these things aside; we still had a magnificent meal.
I opted for a mock tail which was one of the best I've ever had. It was a spritzy drink with a passion fruit base, some mint and berry coulis- it was the perfect companion to my meal! There was some delicious focaccia bread with oil brought out while we waited for our entrees.
I had ordered The pumpkin and mozzarella ravioli with an Alfredo Sauce. WOW. This was one of the top 10 best pasta dishes I've ever had. The flavors in the ravioli were subtle and the filling was mellow and somewhat sweet. The Alfredo sauce had a nice garlic zing to it, I was really pleased with every aspect of my dish. My husband had a pizza as well as an empanada and while I didn't get around to sampling them because I was so in love with my pasta dish, they looked amazing!
The service was really friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. I watched the employees throughout my meal and saw a lot of camaraderie and helping one another out. They really seem to enjoy working here- and me as a customer, I enjoy watching here. It was far above my expectations and I'll be thinking about this meal for a long time. Thank you Itálica! read more
