Broccolino - Buenos Aires

Price, service, ambiance, bad. Won't be back. I also had a salad which was nothing but rocket and a few slices of cheese. No mix. I ordered prosecco. Thrown on my table with a wine glass. Unimpressed

We are in Buenos Aires the day before a cruise. The hotel suggested this restaurant as it was only a 7 min walk. We arrived around 6:30 (early for this area). The service was impeccable. Our server spoke excellent English. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thankfully the waiter suggested only one dish per person (splitting an appetizer and a main dish, or two main dishes for two of us). And he was right. The portions were very large. Hubs had Veal Marsala, it came with 3 large pieces of veal. (Way more than he could eat). The gravy was delicious and hubs really enjoyed it. I had Gnocchi with bolognese sauce. The gnocchis were melt in your both delicious. And the sauce was also really good. I too could not finish my entree. The house Malbec was quite lovely. And we got a tiramisu to go. The server even brought out a taste of limoncello that was obviously house made and delicious.

Place was recommended by a local. Fresh, daily made pasta with different sauces it's the way they do it. We were a party of 7, so we were seated in the second room and had to walk thru the kitchen (that was very clean) to get to the other side. It was fun! We all ordered different dishes, I had the seafood pasta that was perfect. The Stromboli (like a ravioli but larger) was also a great choice. All the sauces (bolognese, carbonara, pesto, etc) were flavorful and fresh. We love wine but we were so thirsty that we ordered a local beer (Patagonia) and it was great, family style. I just wish we could have water offered, but other than that, You can't go wrong with anything in this menu! The best part? The price: less than half compared to other touristy places by Puerto Madero. Highly recommended!

Really a nice way to end our trip to BA. We got there at 8:00 on a Saturday night and got one of the last tables. Our waiter Andres was great and gave us perfect suggestions throughout the meal. We started with a nice Cab from a vineyard we just visited in Mendoza area. We ordered our meals of eggplant parm and chicken Milanese. Both came out about 15-20 minutes after ordering piping hot. My wife said her eggplant was the best she ever ate. My Milanese was huge and I could only eat about half of it. The restaurant is old school Italian place you would see in NYC. Wonderful dining experience.

Very good Italian food, more of the red sauce variety than anything new, but that worked just fine for me on a sleepy, drizzly weekday. Service isn't friendly, but it does the job. The ambience is photos and articles (the chef cooked for the Rolling Stones when they were in BsAs on tour in the 00s, that kind of thing) and a mural of the Roman Colosseum. The star attraction is the giant pizza/bread oven in the center of the room. They were out of the burrata, bummer, but the caprese salad was just fine. I had the Tony, housemade fusili with a nice tomato sauce and covered with cheese. A large and hearty portion. The complimentary bread basket was full, with the best option the pan con tomate slices. House wine was good.
