What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Buenos Cruces Pasta Bar is lauded for its unique and expertly crafted pasta dishes, presented dramatically under metal domes. Diners praise the friendly staff, generous portions, and charming ambiance with classic music. While some reviewers mention a potential wait during peak times and limited beverage options, the overall consensus highlights delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a highly recommended spot.
"Lovely outdoor dining area, one enclosed dining room, and one dining area that’s close to the kitchen to see the action and opens to the outdoors. Choose the one that suits you. The real star of this restaurant is the pasta. Green spaghetti is unique and wonderfully crafted, and while the ‘choose your sauce’ option sounds like typical Alfredo, Bolognese, etc., the preparation is exceptionally good. Each pasta dish is served piping hot and presented on a wooden board covered by a metal dome. The great reveal is done with a flourish that matches the deliciousness of the dish. We loved this place so much, we went back on another night. Sooo good!!"
Debbie Brady
"This place is divided into 2 areas for dining so staff go in and out every now and then. Walked in around 915pm and waited for around 20mins for a table. I had the sorrentinos which was really good and had a mendoza malbec which was also great. If you pay by cash there's a 10% discount. Nonetheless, tips are only in cash. They do not serve tap water, soft drinks or beer. Very good pasta! Lady boss is also very hospitable and speaks excellent English."

"A very cosy little place to enjoy pasta
I enjoyed one of them (the first pic) as it was fragrant, flavourful and came hot. The other dish was so white it felt sad. Servers were pleasant."
