**** Caseros Restaurante, Caseros 486 (San Telmo) – wonderful, romantic atmosphere, interesting selections, good service. The only oddity was that they didn’t have steak knives . . . for steak.
** Marcelina and Garcia – this is a high end pizza restaurant. The décor is very nice, the service excellent, and the appetizers unexpectedly beautiful. But the pizza was disappointing. There is a lot of competition in BA as far as pizza is concerned, however, the pizza here didn’t match up to any we’ve had in BA. Too bad; such a nice place in a great location.
**** La Fachada, Aráoz 1283 – our favorite pizza in BA . . . at least at the moment. The restaurant is poorly lit and in serious need of remodeling. The service is characteristic of a place that caters to 20-somethings. The pizza . . . it’s amazing. The Fugazeta de la Casa is perfect. The dough is somewhat bread-like, but it has a wonderful buttery flavor and an extremely crispy crust. We went there three times in two weeks.
***** La Colonia Heladeria, corner of Julian Alvarez & El Salvador – This is the best ice cream we’ve had. The Mouse de Chocolate and the Crema de Marscapone are unbelievable. Open only until midnight.
