A Nice, Fun Karen
An excellent find ! The mix of Argentina and Italian food was spectacular. It’s not that the food was mixed together but everything they made cooked to perfection. The breaded cooked eggplant was thin and the marinara sauce was delicious. The portions are large and will last us 3 delicious days.

It’s pretty large. Restauraunt is Argentinian so expect Italian and lots of meats to choose from. I had a filet mignon. It was extremely large and cooked just right. It’s hard to beat the prices as well. There’s not much to to dislike about it

Our favorite place from now on. I might hate myself for saying this, but here it goes, the Chicken Parmesan is the best. The Canoli was remarkable, and my wife loved the Ravioli. “OUT OF SIGHT”. We had to dry the Italian coffee so we bout a bag, they even sell wine.

Initially, we found it strange at the Argentinian & Italian concept but a visit to the restaurant made perfect sense. The restaurant had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating although, a reservation is highly recommended for large parties on the weekend. The ambience was very comfortable. It seemed like dinner with the family. Our waitress was quick and attentive.

This place is pretty good. The portions are huge so I could say you’ll get your money’s worth. Food isn’t bad at all. We got Argentina style empanadas for appetizers and Italian pastas for entrees.. I was hoping for some kind of fusion but its safe to say the flavor is traditional.
