This is a hidden gem. At first I thought it was going to be an Italian restaurant but it was like an Italian Argentina fusion restaurant. They were still serving breakfast when we got there but we were still able to order off the lunch menu. I got a artichoke pasta which was ok but the seafood pasta is where it’s at. Parking is limited though so get there before the lunch rush.

Best empanadas. Great Milanesa! Love the flan ❤️ Pounded like my mom makes- not tough and thick like other places.

I really enjoyed the food here. I have never been, but a local recommended and I was delighted. The Veggie Scramble and home potatoes were delicious ?

They usually have great calamari, just make sure to ask if it's there normal calamari with the tentacles, as sometimes they have to substitute it for the giant rings of calamari that are super chewy.

Food was good. Was expecting more Brazilian flavors from the steaks. Skirt steak was very good.
Short ribs not very good. Little meat and tough.

Very bossy server Sunday nights for dinner service.
She tried to seat me at a booth which hurt my back: then I tried to tell her "please: this booth will not work. a different place to sit." And she got mad at me lectured me about where to sit
Beware - this booth is by the bar cashier : choose a table or the mixed chair booth.
Then I tried asking for the olive oil and vinegar sauce tray - she lectures me again by saying
These sauces require a "real food order"
Okay. So $7-8 for plate of vegetables is not a "real food order"
But the $32 check is a real check. And the tip is a real tip.
I was not going to say anything and just leave it alone but I felt like diners should be made aware
my family have been regulars at this place for decades especially through the covid years :
one server even came up to my family and said "I grew up seeing you come here to eat"
He must have been the son to one of the owners/employees
As they say all good things come to an end.

First time at this place. Pasta was over cooked. Then I asked for a house wine and the waiter said ok. When I looked at the bill the wine was 14 dollars. Then when I asked about it , he told me there isn't a house Sauvignon Blanc. Who tells me after the fact. Just because of that I will never be back plus the overcooked pasta!!
I have ordered from this location before but never gone in person.
Not only did I enjoy a very romantic dinner with my partner but I also got to purchase dry yerba mate and a mate cup.
Kudos to the service team for creating an amazing and memorable experience.
