You have to queue to get in, they do not take kindly to credit or debit cards, the decor is bland and the view your get is that of container trailers parked across the road, and yet this is supposed to be the best fish restaurant in town. The place is run by third generation Italians and is very popular... More

The location is not the best, but the inside of the restaurant is pleasant and the staff very nice. However, if you want fresh fish, go elsewhere. The fish here is frozen.

Very few foreign visitors go to Mar del Plata so this may not be a problem as Argentines are not fond of credit cards. Easier to hide your pesos from the taxman this way. However it is a... More

I made reservations almost 1 month in advance after being told that this place was almost impossible to get a table on short notice. Having done my homework I went with high expectations... and the experience fell short. Yes, the seafood is good, but overall the quality is average, the staff has an attitude and prices are expensive... we had... More

Last January I had lunch with friends at this restaurant, which is not so fantastic as it seems to be, First of all you can`t pay with credit card, then there`s no air conditioning ,taking into account its ceiling is not high, and temperatures in Mar del Plata in summer are pretty warm. Fish was good but not extraordinary. It`s... More
