Argentina Italian Restaurants
Due to a heavy influx of Italian immigrants, Argentina is in no short
supply of Italian influences in the cuisines found throughout many parts
of the country. Most restaurants just integrate these influences along
with Spanish, French, and native cuisines, however there are plenty of
restaurants that due stick as close to serving true Italian cuisine as
possible. These can range from pricey seafood restaurants to small pasta
cafes.
