"Given more than 60 percent of the population in Argentina is of Italian descent, locals take their pizza very seriously, often getting into heated debates over which pizzeria serves the best Buenos Aires-style pie. So when Roma, a “bar notable” (deemed of cultural importance by the city government), nearly shuttered after 90 years in business, the pizza-loving restaurant group behind La Fuerza Vermouth took over the idyllic Abasto corner spot. To order like a pro, start the meal with chicken and beef empanadas, followed by a wood-fired pizza al molde (thick crust), and wash it all down with the house vermút con soda water." - Allie Lazar
