Pizzerias
Argentina has a lot of Italian influence and it shows in its gastronomy. Tempted by the pastas and pizzas offered by Rome I went in and in the end I fell in love with two things: their pizzas and some empanadas. The latter are not very Italian but I recommend 100%, especially the onion cheese. They are small but they are delightful and super forceful, so do not underestimate them. It remains on the pedestrian street Lavalle and broadcast football matches, so it is a good option if they did not grab tickets for the superclassic or for another match.
