is a historic pizzeria located on Corrientes Avenue in Buenos Aires. It was founded in 1935 and is known for its traditional Argentine pizzas, made with fresh ingredients and a wood-fired oven. The pizzeria is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, and it has been featured in several movies and TV shows. The pizzeria's signature pizza is the Spinach and Béchamel Sauce Pizza, which is made with fresh spinach, béchamel sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Our second stop was founded in 1932 and is known for their Mozzarella with Faina. It's named after the quatrain, a 4-verse poem. Writer Alberto Vacarezza was fond of writing these types of poems on napkins in this place every time he came as a regular customer.
This tour is more than just food. We will take you to the Obelisc to get a bit of history. There are architectural wonders represented by theatres, and government buildings and we will point them out as we walk from pizzeria to pizzeria.
This pizzeria is actually a branch of the original one, located in La Boca, and inaugurated in 1967. They claim to be the creators of the most important Argentine contribution to the pizza universe: the Fugazetta, a sauce-less pizza of onion and massive amounts of cheese.
This pizzeria started life as a cafe called “Copetin de Corrientes" in 1952. Things didn’t go well for the cafe until they started making pizzas and they promptly renamed the restaurant to what it is today. This is a good spot to try “Pizza a la Piedra,” thin-crust, maybe more similar to Italian pizza than the deep-crust ones the other restaurants specialize in.
Cadore is considered as the best ice cream shop in the country. Its founders, the Olivotti family, started an ice cream parlor in Cadore, a town near Venice, in the 19th century. In the 1950s, its descendants moved to Argentina and opened this branch that remains to this day.
We will be walking from one restaurant to the next so you might want to dress according to the weather. Bring comfy walking shoes and your curiosity!
