What people say

"In a country with no shortage of Italian heritage and tradition, it can be tough to stand out from the crowd. Luckily, La Alacena has no problem doing so, as it serves up some of the most incredible pasta Buenos Aires has to offer. Located on a sunny and tranquil Palermo corner, this charming trattoria uses the best seasonal ingredients around to make any pasta-lover's heart sing. From ricotta tortellini with mortadella and pistachio, squid-ink spaghetti, and meatballs so good they rival your nonna's, head chef Juli Oriolo knows her stuff. Make sure you save room for dessert! The chocolate mousse with Amarena cherries and the tiramisú, both made in-house (of course), can't be missed."

"Michelin Bib Gormand Award, Eater 38 Essential Restaurants - "This quaint trattoria just outside of Palermo’s trendy epicenter is the type of neighborhood restaurant everyone wishes to have in their barrio. Head chef and owner Julieta Oriolo channels her Italian roots to create simple and tasty home-style dishes. Be sure to try hand-made, fresh pastas like cavatelli, tortellacci, and tía Carmelia’s lasagna bolognese. Most of the pastas, sauces, freshly baked breads, and pastries are available for takeaway at La Alacena Pastificio, the team’s pasta shop a few blocks away." "
