The paradise of meat! Not only is it of great quality, but it is also cooked on the embers: the combination of value meat and slow cooking gives an astonishing result - the meat is soft, juicy, it melts in the mouth. One of the bests I have ever eaten. No full marks due to the noisy guests, even though the interiors are nice and good representation of Argentinian households, people are actually a bit loud. Maybe also because the tables are close. The price is fair, I paid 67 € each for one starter and main meal each plus a bottle of wine for two. Must go!

Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience at this restaurant. The food was good; however when it comes to menu prices, they are not giving you a detailed information. We visited this place for dinner on 29 September. We ordered a Tomahawk steak for two and on their menu (attached) it says the kilogram price is Euro 85. Based on this information, we ordered a 500 kg of this steak for two people. As it was our first time at this restaurant, we confirmed with the waiter if this would be enough for two people. The waiter confirmed that it's enough for two people and asked the kitchen to prepare the food. We also ordered a couple of side dishes together with an Argentinian wine. After the meal, we asked for our bill and were shocked that the price was way higher than expected. When we inquired about it, we were told that the restaurant served us 1.2 kilograms of steak, although we asked for a 500gr steak. The restaurant claims that the Tomahawk steak orders start from 1 kilogram and anything less than that is not possible. This wasn't clear in their menu that a minimum order is required (the menu is attached) and we weren't warned when we ordered. The restuarant knew that we ordered 500 grams of steak. As it was our last night in Milan, we didn't have a budget to pay 1.2 kilograms of meat which we didn't even order. The restaurant manager wasn't there to solve this issue so that wasn't a good start. A restaurant of this caliber should have a restaurant manager on duty at all times. Anyway, a sommelier came in to explain that they are sorry for the confusion and wanted to blame the waiter for this misunderstanding. He told us that he would talk to the manager and after his telephone chat with the manager, he told us that he was allowed to only offer a 10 Euro discount, which was still way over our budget. Long story short, the food was good but please make sure that the you get what you order, as this restaurant would like to take advantage of international customers.

We really enjoyed this elegant Argentinian restaurant. The meat was fantastic and the wine they recommended fabulous. What really stood out was the great service. The staff (all from South America) was really helpful and they kept on bringing many little “presents” throughout the dinner. You get a taste of many sauces and side dishes without asking. We will certainly be back once in Milan!

Carne eccezionale, ambiente molto elegante. Chiaramente si paga la qualità.

L'ambiente è bellissimo, con arredi e rivestimenti in stile Buenos Aires di inizi '900. Il servizio è curato e attento, ma con un'unica pecca, ovvero che non ci hanno guidato nell'ordinazione e abbiamo finito per sovra-ordinare non conoscendo le porzioni. Il cibo è sensazionale: dalla lingua marinata alle animelle al brandy, passando per l'immancabile asado, per il vacío o la entraña, tutto di un livello superiore. Anche i vini che abbiamo preso, consigliati dal sommelier, davvero di livello. Resta una delle migliori esperienze gastronomiche di Milano.
