La Parolaccia is an authentic Buenos Aires Italian restaurant that is a no brainer. La Parolaccia is an Italian restaurant institution in and around Buenos Aires many fashionable neighborhoods so should you find yourself hungry in Puerto Madero, Barrio Norte, Belgrano, Palermo, or San Isidrio needing an authentic Italian food fix but do not want to take a chance with an unknown tratorria, which by the way would probably be just fine, you may head to a close by La Parolaccia for what surely will be a comfortably scrumptious Italian meal.La Parolaccia is a classic Buenos Aires Italian restaurant decorated in old world charm style with dark wooded walls adorned with detailed moldings and punctuated by authentic Buenos Aires art work. Our favortie part of the decoration is the plush leather chair-couch to sit back in to relax while preparing for service in style.
The waiters in tuxedos should not intimidate, even a corner coffee shop in Buenos Aires includes professional waiters dressed in tuxedos prepared to serve you in style. The traveler should know, however, that in Buenos Aires the portions are big so order appropriately. For me, on this night, that meant a stater of a penne arrabiata half order followed by a steak pizziola. But for my wife it was lasagna Mamma Mia, which has kept her smiling to this day with just the thought of it, and a salad fo
r good ediquette, while my father in-law decided to take it easy with a full order of spinach gnocchi with tasters of both my wife's and my order.I am not going to get into the finer details of the penne as everyone knows an excellent penne arrabiata means the pasta was cooked just right meaning aldente while the arrabiata was not too angry, but not too soft either. Further, for me, a fine Italian meal is capped by the company and on this night is was just right, which heightened the taste of this fine food to beyond tasteful to inexplicably delicious.
The steak pizziola was a perfect piece of lomo, otherwise known as beef tenderloin in the United States, cooked in a tomato, olive and red pepper sauce served with patata espanola - potatoes spanish style. For those of who think one cannot eat pasta and potatoes in the same sitting, well La Parolaccia will lay that old myth to rest.
My wife's Lasagna Mamma Mia was describer by her as [insert description here]
With dinner we enjoyed a Callia wine from San Juan. Although Mendoza is widely known around the world for its wine, San Juan's wines are sleepers Los Portenos are tightly holding close to the vest.
Whatever wine and accompanying food you choose at La Parolaccia, it is sure to be delicious served with a smiling style at this fine Buenos Aires Italian restaurant.
