Olivetti Trattoria – Buenos Aires
Olivetti is one of the few restaurants in Buenos Aires we recommend for Italian cuisine. It’s a bit expensive but has good food, service and ambiance.
Piegari – Buenos Aires
We recently downgraded Piegari in multiple categories. After a recent remodel the decor is mundane and boring. The restaurant used inferior ingredients on a risotto on a recent visit. Outrageously expensive for Buenos Aires. Not a bad restaurant. Just a horribly overpriced one.
Puerto Cristal – Buenos Aires
Seafood restaurant in Puerto Madero. Unfortunately there were lapses of execution on a recent visit. Expensive with a lack of creativity.
Sarkis – Buenos Aires
Excellent renditions of middle-eastern cuisine at reasonable prices make Sarkis the most popular ethnic cuisine restaurant in Buenos Aires. What its lacking in decor and average service, it makes up for with a creative menu full of classic Armenian recipes.
Sottovoce – Buenos Aires
This is classic Italian cuisine in a fairly traditional setting on the boardwalk on Puerto Madero. Ambiance is nice but a bit sterile. Service was spot on. Our appetizers on a recent visit were disappointing though. The main course dishes and desserts were better but still missing that element that elevates a meal to something that is truly memorable.
Status – Buenos Aires
Average food with average service in a less than average setting. Lunch menu at Olaya in Palermo Hollywood is an immensely better choice for Peruvian.
