La Peca


Gascon 1493; Tel. (011.54.11)4867.4282
Hours: M-Sa lunch and dinner, Sundays dinner only
Price range: $$-$$$

La Peca is neighborhood pizza in a warm atmosphere.  This small corner café is clean of foreigners and full of local 20somethings enjoying mounds of crispy fries ($9AR), homemade bubbling pizza($12-$19AR), and a variety of thick sandwiches ($11-18AR) served on wooden pallets.  This isn’t the place for an intimate evening, rather it’s perfect for crowding in friends for evening food and drink.

This place shouts cozyness; the thick wooden tables are all a little close together at night, filling the place with a fun, party-like atmosphere.  Posters and antiques adorn the walls and windows.  Be sure to look up- from the ceiling hangs dozens of antique lamps. 

If you’re looking to see young Porteños in action on a Friday night, this is the place.  Its way off the gringo-trail, so either take a cab or don’t leave home without a map and cash- no credit cards are accepted.
