    excellent Italian food in Buenos Aires. several locations throughout the city. nice outdoor dining options too in Recoleta.

    Best eggplant dish EVER!!!

    This is an amazing Italian restaurant in Puerto Madero! Either make reservations ahead of time or be patient enough to wait on a table. I've been to many great Italian restaurants in NYC, but this one in Buenos Aires is my favorite. You must start with their eggplant parm appetizer, mellanzane allá parmigiana, it's amazing, the best I have ever had. All their entrees are incredible as well. This is a must stop, when you are beefed out in Buenos Aires. It's amazing!!!

    Puerto Modera seems like a very touristy area so we weren't sure what kind of food quality we were going to get. Thankfully overall it was good. The highlights were the Limonaida and the fried burratta were incredible. The Linonaida here was the best of our entire trip. It was foamy and icy and was not too sweet. It was obvious the buratta was made to order as it was gooey and delicious. Where they feel short was the mains. My tortellini was hard around the edges making it hard to chew.

    walking along looking for something for dinner I happened to come in here. Was not sure exactly what I wanted so my waiter Federico helped me. I told him what I was in the mood for. a simple spaghetti He suggested spaghetti with sun dried tomatoes and garlic. I got exactly that. It was very good. Spaghetti was done al dente. I enjoyed the bred that he brought to the table but just know that if they bring bread you are going to pay for it. It's not like America where it's complimentary. Adds about $1-2 to your bill along with my meal enjoyed a nice glass of Malbec and agua con gaz. Current exchange rate $1.00 for Argentine peso 1.80 my dinner was less than $12.00.

    Excellent food, being the 29th of the month we ordered gnocchi which is customary in Argentina, the mushroom and meat were perfectly executed. Service was by Edward and Gabriela both had a great smile, ambiance was cozy, we were seated downstairs in the bodega. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant.

    Really nice, large restaurant on the water in the Puerto Madero barrio that has delicious Italian food. During my trip to BA, I wanted a nice meal while I was out one evening in the neighborhood and this restaurant was highly recommended by a bartender at one of the bars I ducked into for a bit prior to coming here. I knew it was good, as I had some prior research, so figured I'd have a nice meal. It was a Wednesday evening, but the restaurant was still extremely packed. They restaurant has a long hallway that stretches from the entrance, alongside the kitchen to the right and the entire dining area on the left. The seats to the far left are up against the windows that overlook the boardwalk and river that runs through Puerto Madero. The dining area is extremely large and was full of families, dates, and large social gatherings. Of course I had to get a Malbec and it was a very generous pour, which I was thankful for, and the wine itself was delicious. They give you a basket of bread and butter to start with. I ordered the spinach ravioli in cream sauce with mushrooms and it was pretty tasty. I noticed the food in BA isn't overly flavorful, but filling. I asked for black pepper, but they did not have any crushed red pepper. My waiter was extremely slow with me in the beginning, as other tables around me who were seated after, received their drinks and apps way before he even came to take any of my order. He noticed I was a little frustrated and definitely made up for his attentiveness throughout the rest of my meal, which was nice.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Buenos Aires. Monday-Friday there is a lunch special with a selection of appetizers, main courses and desserts/ espresso. Even month there is a new wine promotion. When you purchase one bottle you get one more free. Prices are very reasonable. It is also nice to see so many locals coming here too.

    Service is slow, very un attentive. Do yourself a favor, do not order the "Italian" food, it's mediocre at best.

    The food is good, the menu does not change often which it has its positive and negatives. The best is the lasagna de la nonna.

    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 was in the mood for some Italian food and this place was very close to where I was staying. It's…read morealmost directly across from Plaza Dorego. 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.
