A piacere — Restaurant in Puerto Iguazú

Slow. And then some. 55min before appetizer, battered calamari, was served, soggy and almost cold. My friend had the beef stroganoff and he asked how it should be cooked. I pepper steak. Food came much later, almost cold. Fries were soggy, beef stroganoff was of course part of a stew so cooked well done, and my steak was a really poor cut, silver skin and huge chunks of fat. We tried to talk to the server, but my Spanish didn't go far on this matter, so we tried in English, and since he didn't understand that, he said "One moment" and disappeared. We thought he would get some that could maybe understand our concern, but no. I totally understand that I shouldn't expect people to understand English everywhere, that's why I learned Spanish myself. But the waiter was obviously too busy waiting too many tables and missed a lot of food to be served. Maybe they should have any person deliver food from the kitchen, it doesn't have to be the waiter. Apart from that, the food was tasting ok, nothing particular. Was expecting a bit more from this place, since it...

We chose this restaurant as it was a bit chic and had moderately nice reviews lately but we didn’t have a good experience here. When we entered the restaurant, the waiter ignored us and didn’t show us a table, we just found a place to sit by ourselves and waited for some attention. The staff was not friendly and welcoming. The prices are too high when it is compared with the low quality of food and quite small size of the portions. We had a fish plate including surubi and pacu, very small pieces and the fish had so much salt on it that my tongue felt numb after the second bite. The caprese salad was prepared very inelaborately, huge chunks of tomatoes, a very small hint of pesto sauce, a couple of dying basils and a missing ingredient (walnut) even if the waiter said that it is crushed inside the pesto sauce(?) there was no taste of walnut at all. We felt fooled with such a response. We paid 10000pesos for a pretty bad quality. There are many places in Iguazú that you can eat much better quality for less than half...

My girlfriend and I were here on our vacation through Argentina. We visited "A piacere" and were served by Manuel (our waiter) he did a fantastic job, he made us feel really comfortable and gave us his full attention! We were given a beautiful spot near a water fountain and it was made sure by Manuel that we would have a great evening! We orderd a starter for the two of us and I ordered the best T-bone (The best piece of meat I have ever tasted!) it was expertly cooked and served with red fruits. I ordered it rare; the amount, the temprature and tenderness of this T-bone was perfect. Thank you A piacere and Manuel ofcourse for the wonderfull experience!

Ps. A limoncello or a cognac as digistive would be very nice to top of this wonderfull experience, nonetheless this is a restaurant I would recommend to everybody visiting the Argentinian side of the...
