"Messi has been to Café Ragazzi twice. The first time, according to our waiter, was when he was a young whippersnapper with fewer tattoos and longer hair. The second time was after beating Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final when he had a celebratory dinner at this restaurant whose temperature is optimal for napping. Maybe, like us, he was just charmed by the complimentary bruschetta and sasquatch-sized pasta portions. Or maybe he’s familiar with the owner, renowned Argentine-Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner. Most likely it’s the latter. Because the over-sauced pasta here isn’t as entertaining as the collection of Latin American music memorabilia along its walls. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
