Editorial Review

Cool old dude stands up to the young bucks overrunning the neighbrohood with their shiny lounges. Lunch has giant portions of gnocci, ravioli, bifes, whatever the ladies in the back decide to cook. Afterward grab a Quilmes imperial and check the scene on the sleepy, palermo corner. Die-hard following of retired neighborhood cats, tv stars from America TV, radio jocks like Matias Martin, and local coolies slumming it without having to stray too far from home. Really one of the best joints around. Owner refused to sell out for a million dollars when the neighborhood exploded, and thank goodness. A classic.
