This Gen-
ovese trattoria serves up awesome lasagne bolognese and
tagliatelle alla rucola

;
San Martín 975; mains AR$75-110; noon-1am)
Popular
with the business lunch crowd, this large, pop art-style Italian pizzeria tosses great thin-
crust pies with fresh toppings - try a pie piled high with prosciutto and arugula. Other
tasty choices include
panini,
gourmet salads, various pastas and a whirlwind of desserts.
The menu is extensive - there's something to please just about everyone here.
Dadá
INTERNATIONAL $$$
( 4814-4787; San Martín 941; mains AR$75-130; noon-2am Mon-Thu, to 5am Fri & Sat)
The
tiny bohemian Dadá, with walls painted red and a bar cluttered with wine bottles, feels
like an unassuming neighborhood bar in Paris. Order something savory off the bistro
menu - the fresh guacamole and homemade potato chips are perfect for sharing. At night
you can dine on grilled salmon and down an expertly mixed cocktail.
Dill & Drinks

; San Martín 986; mains AR$70-140; noon-6pm Mon, to
2am Tue-Fri, 2pm-2am Sat)
Here's an intimate bar-restaurant with contemporary and trendy
design. Order the daily lunch special, which includes a principal plate and two cocktails
(!), the latter made with fresh juices and fruits. Bring your own Negroni recipe; it'll be
filed away in the venue's collection. Dishes are made with quality ingredients, like
shrimp risotto or pork medallions in honey mustard.
