Pro Tips

  1. 1.Argentine pizza is thicker and cheesier than what you might be used to. Order a variety to share so kids can try different flavors like muzzarella, fugazzeta, or napolitana.
  2. 2.Dinner in Argentina starts late, typically after 9pm. Arrive around 7:30-8pm for a quieter experience before the local dinner rush.
  3. 3.Ask for 'agua sin gas' if you want still water, as sparkling water is commonly served. Most kids prefer still water.
  4. 4.Credit cards are widely accepted, but have some Argentine pesos on hand just in case. Check current exchange rates before your trip.
  5. 5.The restaurant is located in Avellaneda, a neighborhood south of central Buenos Aires. Plan for a taxi or rideshare ride of 15-30 minutes depending on where you're staying.

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekday evenings around 7:30-8pm to avoid the late-night dinner crowds. Weekends can get busy with local families, so arrive early or be prepared to wait.

What to Know
