The Best Italian Restaurants in Argentina
Argentina is considered the Italy of South America, so it’s no surprise that there’s some incredible Italian food on offer. We round up the best Italian restaurants across Argentina.
1. Siamo Nel Forno
L’Adesso
The comfort and warm ambiance of this Italian restaurant in Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires, is a stealthy mask for the intricate dishes and explosion of flavors you will experience as you enjoy a meal that could have been shipped across the Atlantic all the way from Italy itself. Typical Italian cuisine is given a modern twist and each dish will make you want to get to know it better before you move on to the next delectable course. If you want the full experience, go for the tasting menu of the chef’s selection.
La Locanda
This restaurant run by a young chef from Sardinia is a real treat. Be transported to the idyllic shores of the Mediterranean with food that lingers on your tastebuds long after you have finished it. Everything on the menu from fish, to pasta and meat is prepared with lots of Italian amore, and even though the restaurant itself is on the low-key, local side, this doesn’t mean the food is as coy as its surroundings, quite the opposite!

Restaurante Bruno
Rosario’s food scene is strengthened by the presence of this great Italian restaurant. Known for their consistent quality, especially in the pasta dishes, Restaurante Bruno is a stalwart of the local culinary scene and a firm favorite with locals. Go for the gnocchi, a typical dish shared between Italy and Argentina.
La Cefira
Salta may be better known for its fried empanadas, folklore music and dancing, but the Italian fare at La Cefira brings its A-game as far as food is concerned. A cosy and rustic setting typical of the north of Argentina offers guests a family-style atmosphere that is reflected in the food. Everything is homemade and the meats are especially good. Treat yourself to some tiramisu at the end.
