There are a lot of paintings hanging on the walls and by the tables. I arrived around noon and didn't have any reservation but it was still early for lunch. Argentinians eat lunch at 2 pm. I was promptly seated and asked for the English menu. While the servers don't speak much English, I was able to get by with my broken Spanish. Most of the menu items are good for 2 persons. I asked if there is a single portion and server indicated that they can do single portions. I ordered the Frutti di Mare (seafood spaghetti). The portion was huge! The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. There were tons of seafood... squid, clams, mussels and shrimps. It was delicious! One thing to note. When I received the bill, for a 1 person portion, they charged 80% of the cost for 2. Thinking I should have just ordered for 2 and took the rest to go. I'm sure they tried to explain it and I just didn't understand them. I'd go back there again but maybe with another person to share the food with.

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant located in Buenos Aires! I discovered this place after asking…read moreour hotel where a good place to go eat dinner was within walking distance. The hotel recommended Amici Miei. We walked to the other end of the little plaza and located this cute little Italian restaurant on the second floor with some balconies over looking the plaza with tables. The location is spectacular. Very quaint, old school feel inside an old building. The balconies are small but hold table for 4. On a nice day like when we went (it was about 85 degrees F) was nice to look outside onto the plaza and people watch. As we ordered food, the quality of the dishes were top notch. Everything was fresh and tasted superb. The flavours were rich, not salty, not over/under cooked. All the dished that came out were nice and hot and tasted amazing. The bread served was fresh, crunchy outside, soft inside with butter and some red wine. This place if you didn't know you were sitting in Buenos Aires, you'd think you were in Italy! Service was great, very prompt and nice. As with any Argentine or foreign restaurant, you have to ask for your bill if you want to leave, otherwise they just let you be. Overall, I do believe this place is truly 5 star rating, food, quality, taste, ambiance and service. You won't be disappointed if you go here and the price point is very good for the food, amount and quality.

I arrived right when they opened at 8 and was the only one there until a few people trickled in around 8:30 or so. By the time I left at 9:15, more people were arriving. I'd expect by 10, it would be packed. Before my meal arrived, they brought out a basket of garlic bread, focaccia and breadsticks with a garbanzo bean spread. I also ordered a cold Patagonia cerveza while I waited for my main course. I had green Papardelle pasta with mushrooms, bacon and cherry tomatoes in a light olive oil type sauce. It was very enjoyable as compared to a heavy cream sauce. The only thing missing was some parmesan cheese, which was provided before my meal arrived. Unlike most every other dinner I've had in BA, I left feeling satisfied, not like I was about to burst! The service was stellar and very friendly. Definitely check this place out if you happen to be in San Telmo.

I got the fried mozzarella as my starter which was fine and my main was the SORRENTINO GRAN CARUSO Stuffed with mozzarella and cooked ham, gratinated with cream, cooked ham, mushrooms, poultry, and fresh tomato sauce. Holy god it was so good. I would travel back to Argentina just to eat this. The dessert was a few choices and I went for the flan which was very good. I'm told it's meant to be served with dulce de leche but this restaurant doesn't do that. It was still fine. This is definitely a fancy place and I'm glad we were gifted this meal because I really don't want to know how much it cost.

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.
