I'm Argentinian, and was quite pleased with the food and service. There are so many options on the menu. It was hard to decide what to order. It's great to go eat at a place that feels like home 🇦🇷. I think my Abuela would approve, which says a lot.

The best Italian food I’ve had in my life. Everything we had was amazing. Ham and Cheese empanada, fried cheese, bread, meat cannoli, spaghetti, chicken Alfredo, lasagna. Tiramisu, not just tiramisu. The best tiramisu ever. Margarita was tasty but switched to sangria. Would recommend a liter of sangria over margaritas.
This quiet little restaurant is full of flavor in a laid back atmosphere. Stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. There were occupied tables, but immediate seating. I had Bife de Chorizo (NY steak). It was cooked to perfection. Well seasoned and tender. The fettuccine Alfredo is some of the best pasta I have ever had—homemade fresh noodles and creamy buttery goodness. Empanadas were good and the chimichurri was pretty good. I was disappointed with the dinner salad. Just a basic lettuce mix with a couple of grape tomatoes. Creamy Italian dressing was on pointe, but I would have appreciated some variety of veggies and hand-torn lettuces. Food presentation was dated.
For the food and the friendly service, I would make this a regular go-to spot. Delicious steak and pasta.
Plenty of vegetarian options available at reasonable pricing. Loved the vegetarian lasagna and the empanadas. Definitely going next time to try and find out what more they have to offer. Update : Eggplant parmigiana was equally amazing. This place keeps surprising me everytime.

What's not to like? The food is amazingly fresh, the portions are big, the service is great, both inside and outdoor dining areas are lovely. Good for date night, girls night, boys night, family night. I heard they have a good brunch as well. Faves: ham and cheese empanada, tortellini in pink sauce
The food was absolutely delicious, the service was amazing and the prices fantastic. I would absolutely suggest going a few blocks off the beaten path for this little gem. The Argentinian and Italian food are both delicious and such an unexpected and delicious combination. Very family friendly atmosphere too.
We are from out of state and we are so glad we picked this family restaurant for dinner tonight. The food was fantastic and we had wonderful service for our large group. They were very accommodating for our kids. Highly recommend!
Came here once, I ordered the salmon with linguini, and my husband ordered the spinach fettuccine. I could not decide which plate was better as they were both cooked to perfection and each uniquely delectable!
First time here. I went to a birthday party on a Saturday that was nice. They had a live band, and the food was good. Italian and Argetinian food. Empanadas! I had the salmon and pasta, which was delish.
