La Bistecca — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

My wife, our son (a 1 y.o baby) and I arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before noon (the time the restaurante was supposed to open). Another couple was already waiting. As time went by, other people arrived (including another couple with babies), and some employees would keep getting in and out of the restaurant, as the customers were all waiting. Around 12:30, the restaurant doors finally opened and as we entered, a couple of employees were telling the first ones on the line that the restaurant was fully booked and that tables would be available only after 1pm or later. So far, nothing wrong, maybe a large group of people booked the entire place. But since there were customers waiting outside (my family and others), new customers were coming, and restaurant employees saw that, if the restaurant was fully booked I expected the restaurant team to be kind enough to let us know in advance that we wouldn

t be served right away. But they just kept us waiting for 40 minutes (the couple who was waiting when I arrived was there for longer, probably) without saying a word. So as the couple before me was leaving (angry and frustrated, of course), I tried to tell the restaurant employees that what they did wasnt fair, that they could at least have told us the situation, so that we could decide whether to wait or not. Surprisingly, they didnt even bother to listen to me or at least look at my face, and start talking to someone else. So, honestly, if you

At first, I was puzzled by the negative reviews about this restaurant because, upon entering, it appeared formal and elegant. However, I now understand the complaints.

The biggest issue is the service. There was only one person in charge of serving the asado—from slicing the meat to plating it for all the customers. Just one asador for everyone, which led to a long wait in line. Even the pasta station had a queue. On top of that, the asador was quite stingy with the portions. If you want more, you’ll likely feel discouraged because you have to queue all over again.

The food selection is also very limited, offering few options. Considering the price—nearly 40 dollars per person, excluding drinks and tips—it is definitely not worth it. If you’re really hungry, this place will leave you...

A tener en cuenta si venis a la Bistecca: ⬇️ Gastamos $72.000 total, 2 pers. Menú por persona mediodia ofrece entrada, plato princip, fondues de chocolate, 1 postre a eleccion.

• El lugar logra la tematica: "MERCATTO", cuenta con diferentes "locales" uno pegado a otro, donde podes pedir o servirte: Para empezar, entraditas como por ej: Fiambres (10/10, destaco los salames y los quesos, el reggiano es t r e m e n d o) Rabas (10/10, frescas , crocantes, exelente empanado, la porcion abundante, y fritas en el momento, nada de recalentadas como en otros lugares, realmente riquisimas) Empanadas (9/10 de carne, para mi gusto le falto un poquito de condimento, pero eso es personal, son riquisimas, la masa realmente parece casera, te las sirven calientes recien horneadas pareciera tmb) Distintas ensaladas, varias, vittel tone. Fritos: buñuelos, papas, etc.

Comida: Sushi: de sabor un 10, pero obviamente no son piezas de sushi re mil elaboradas, son basicas, de restaurante, no de casa de sushi. Son arroz y salmon, arroz y atun, arroz y camaron, arroz y kanikama, todas con queso phila y obvio. Pero son piezas bien sencillas, las salsas maracuya y soja riquisimas. Podes pedir de 6 u 8 piezas por personas, las veces que quieras. Pastas: riquisimas todas, hervidas en el momento, las elegis con la salsa, y te lo calientan en una sarten individual en ell momento. Recomiendo las de pesto, y salsa roja. Los sorrentinos de salmon son ricos, pero estan mezclados con ricota pareciera. Los fideos y ravioles, vendian mucho mas a la vista. Asado: el parrillero nos dijo que solo habia punto jugoso, no reclamamos, pero no fue un 10 por el punto de la carne. Si van en fecha patria, ofrecen locro. Postre: podes elegir, volcan de chocolate, helado, flan c ddl, o tiramisu. Nosotros elegimos tiramisu, estaba tremendo, fresco, la crema riquisima, fue un 10. Las fondues de chocolate: chocolate muy rico, podes comerlo con frutillas, sandia, anana, vainillas, nueces, y otras frutas. ( las frutillas se terminan rapido, si no hay, le decis a los mozos y reponen enseguida) Bebida: vinos a partir de $11.000 (catena), aguas y gaseosas $2700. Aperol $6500 Cortesia: champagne, al final.

● Destaco la atencion de los mozos, muy educados, amables, y atentos. Recomiendo ir temprano, si es mediodia, 12hs exelente horario para disfrutar, y comer tranquilo...
