Corrientes
Argentine Pizzeria
137
Bannatyne Ave
This review
has been sitting in the "posts not posted" folder of my computer for
almost six months and I decided it was time to let it see the light of day.
There was no reason that I didn't post it until now. The entry just got lost in
my file system for a while.
The day we
went was busy and the only spot we could get in the restaurant was a small
outdoor cafe-style table for two in the back. It was shorter than the rest of
the tables and the server had to kneel to converse face-to-face with us, or
else tower above us. It was sort of a fun atmosphere and the awkwardness of our
table height made the whole place feel friendlier. That in turn helped make up
for the fact that we were dressed the cold, not for going out for dinner.
We ordered:
- Rucula
Pizza
- Humita
empanada
- Argentine
Beer
My wife and
I thought that the food was tasty but not exceptional. Our omnivorous friends
were quick to point out that the meat pizzas are really good. I can't confirm or
deny that. However, it is probably true because our main complaint about the
vegetarian food was that it needed more salt. A vegetarian dish shouldn't just
be a meat dish without meat. It needs to be something unto itself, and part of
that is compensating for the lower salt content of vegetables. This is a
restaurant that seems to be better for omnivores. So, if you are omnivorous my
advice is reserve a table ahead of time and try it for yourself.
Until next
time,
