Casual Argentinian-Italian spot for big milanesas, pizzas, and burgers at fair prices; food is hearty but inconsistent and service can swing from warm to brusque.
Restaurante Entre Olivos delivers reliable comfort food with strong execution on burgers and milanesas and excellent value for generous portions, but inconsistent quality across menu items—particularly divisive pizzas and empanadas—alongside occasional service lapses prevent it from reaching higher territory. A solid neighborhood choice for casual dining rather than a destination restaurant.
Set just off the Old Town, this casual spot feels warm and bustling with shaded tables and a steady mix of locals and visitors. Portions are notably big—one diner joked their milanesa fed two—and several praise the friendly staff, though others report brusque interactions. A representative sentiment: "Hearty plates, fair prices, but service can be hit or miss." No major authenticity alarms here, but expect a genuinely mixed experience depending on timing and team. The cooking leans classic and generous rather than cheffy—think Argentinian-style pizzas with thicker dough, crispy milanesas with various toppings, burgers, simple pastas, and a sweet finish of brownies or pancakes with dulce de leche. Burgers and cutlets draw the most love, while pizza and empanadas are divisive across visits. Come for comfort food and value, not for culinary fireworks. Families will do well: there are kid-pleasers like Margherita pizza (€9.9), spaghetti bolognese (€10), burgers (€13.6), fries, and simple desserts (€6.5). No clear kids menu, but the mains are approachable and shareable. If your crew prefers very plain flavors, steer to pasta or milanesas and skip the more adventurous toppings.
