International Pasta Day: origin and where to eat the best in Buenos Aires

OLIVERA THE STILL LIFE

In Parque Avellaneda, the eatery with a hidden bar that highlighted 80 years of neighborhood gastronomic history is Olivera the Bodegón. As the star dish, we chose the vacuum sorrentinos with bolognese sauce in a bread basket, you can choose from 6 featured sauces. All pastas are homemade and made fresh. Options such as egg noodles, vegetable ravioli, various sorrentinos and potato gnocchi. Everyone comes on their edible “plate.”

Furthermore, below Olivera the Bodegón is found Populacea hidden bar with a Buenos Aires theme that recreates the golden age of Argentine tango.

The bar has a collection of old tango books, a collection of photos by Ignacio Corsini, piano scores that are more than 90 years old, old photos of Buenos Aires and a bandoneon gift from a friend whose father had been a tango presenter and claims that it was played by Aníbal Troilo.

CARMEN

To celebrate World Pasta Day, on Sunday the 26th at noon Carmen will take her kitchen to the sidewalk and offer cavatelli with ragù Bolognese al disco, an off-the-menu preparation. Additionally, for those who cannot attend, there will be a 15% discount on online purchases of their pastas, only for this week. The Palermo restaurant and pastificio celebrates its specialty with a unique imprint: pastas made in plain sight, fillings cooked over embers and smoked sauces that reflect the seal of fire, the central axis of its cuisine. Among its most representative dishes, the Kamado sweet potato Girandola stands out, stuffed with roasted sweet potato, parmesan and chestnuts, finished with mint butter, and the roast fagottini, with vacuum and roast beef cooked for five hours at low temperature on espinillo, accompanied by a passata of smoked peppers and organic tomatoes. Added to them is the classic Cacio e Pepe, with egg tagliatelle, butter, cheese and freshly ground black pepper, an ode to Italian simplicity. The ideal pairing: a glass of Tilia Malbec, which enhances the smoky flavors, or a Chenin, fresh and floral, perfect for lighter pastas.
