Michael Kauffman: Best bites: brick chicken and swordfish. Skip the seafood tower. Mind-blowing cauliflower carbonara and Spice Me Baby One More Time cocktail.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Beautiful space. Only had drinks but will be back for dinner soon!!
Whitney Fishman: Sitting at the bar is the way to go they have great snacks carved bar side, the cocktails rock, and it's the perfect post work drink or first date spot on a weekday.

Stephanie Nicole: Try the Sausage and onion lasagna! yum! And the linguine a la carbonara... Heaven!! The manager, Ruben is the best. Service is great and the guys are a blast! You have to stop by here!
scott "sfliny" falcone: The chicken parm is fantastic! As is the nicely toasted garlic bread served. The portion of the entree is generous and the prices are reasonable. Try it once and you'll find yourself coming back.

Kika: Nice wine selection. Tasty caprese empanada. Quiet, cozy ambiance complimented by an attentive wait staff. Great spot!
7th.List: Argentinian specialties. There is a bar and dining area. On the menu, pollo a la paprika (chicken breast with skin thoroughly immersed in paprika), jujeña empanada. Dessert? budin de pan Read more.
@JaumePrimero: Love this hidden gem in West Chelsea! Argentinian restaurants are hard to come by in NYC, definitely worth a visit!
Elizabeth Burstein: The sangiovese wine was delicious. Also enjoyed the simple cheese pizza (the "zia maria"). The carbonara pasta was very decadent, likely good for a pre-race indulgence as it was swimming in oil!
J.R. Reed: Prosciutto pizza and arugula/pear salad are must orders - really solid pizza spot and good place to take friends
DoubleDeuce: Tasty foods, great prices, solid wine list, quite fair prices. Definitely a great place to share food and conversation with friends.

Tom W: Great for that after-doctor pick-me-up
LogoTV: My favorite place to eat! It's like the gay Cheers. The atomosphere is so inviting and the home cooking is just like Mom's (if she could cook, I mean). - Mike Ruiz, The A-List: New York
Richard JMV: try the steak salad MR... it's pretty damn good... don't worry about too much dressing bc the juicy steak will dress it enough
