Named for a waterfront neighborhood in Buenos Aires that was home to generations of newly arrived Italian immigrants, this handsome if somewhat crowded new restaurant is at the gateway to an area filling up with trendy boutiques, including a truly stylish Harley-Davidson showroom. Like the cooking in Buenos Aires, the menu marries the traditional Argentine love of beef -- and lots of it -- with traditional Italian recipes and techniques, and the results are entirely satisfying. A long list of sizeable steaks is crowned by the parrillada, a feast of beef cuts, sausage, and chicken served on a table-top grill. The sliced tomatoes in a creamy Roquefort sauce open the meal perfectly, and if you don't want beef, try the unusual "Bombonera" pizza, which shares its name with the BA soccer stadium where the Boca Juniors play.
