We had an amazing dinner at Piegari's! My husband heard about this restaurant and wanted to try it based on its great reviews and reputation in Argentina. We went with my sister and friend and had a wonderful evening. The hostess was friendly and efficient. Becca, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable throughout the entire meal. As soon as we were seated, bruschetta and a small welcome cocktail that's Prosecco based was brought to us. Both were yummy. Here's a run down on the food between the 4 of us. The mozzarella di buffala is delicious. The giant heirloom tomatoes were impressive and the mozzarella was seriously out of this world. The polpo alla griglia was tender and flavorful. We all loved it. They had a salmon carpaccio that night and it was good. It was delicately smoked and sliced, but we were expecting it to be a raw salmon carpaccio (maybe we missed that it was smoked). Then, we had homemade pastas: parpadelle al funghi, tortellini verde alla valdostana, ravioli alla piegari, and a special shrimp gnocchi that they offered that evening. Each of these pastas was fantastic and we had a hard time identifying a favorite because they were all so incredible. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, pistachio gelato, and the chocolate lava cake. Yum yum yum! I wish I could remember the names of the specialty cocktails that we got, but all you need to know is that the drinks at Piegari's are delicious and perfectly made. I even told the bartender how much we loved them because they were so impressive. With dessert we were given complimentary limoncello. It was so tasty. At the end of the meal, the GM came by (he had checked in with us and chatted a bit earlier in the meal) and gave us hugs and handshakes goodbye. We told him we felt like family there because all the staff were so welcoming and friendly. All of us absolutely loved Piegari's and were amazed that it was only their 10th day open. Usually brand new restaurants feel like they need a lot more work, but everything (the staff's professionalism, ambiance, food, drinks ...) was polished and excellent. Plus, the price of the entire meal was reasonable. And no, I am not connected in any way to the restaurant or any of the workers. I just truly enjoyed our meal and time at Piegari's. Definitely looking forward to returning!
