My husband and I and a friend went to try ILatina on Wednesday, May 8. It was a 30 minute taxi ride from our hotel. The restaurant is in an old house that has been converted into a restaurant. The building is architecturally beautiful, with soaring ceiling and has a small garden. It was a perfect setting for a wonderful... More

ILatina truly deserves its number one position on TripAdvisor. Two brothers from Columbia, one chef and one sommelier have brought their style to an intimate location, providing excellent food and wine pairings in a relaxed setting at a worthy price. Our Neal consisted of a arepa amuse bouche, spicy pineapple shrimp, salmon tartare, ceviche, sugar cane glazed pork, persimmon sorbet,... More

This is an excellent place and worth the trip. Gosh it felt like it took forever to get there from Recoletta especially in the traffic even at 8:30 at night for a 9 p.m. reservation. The food was delicious and the chef was charming. Our daughter spoke to him in Spanish. They went out of their way for her to... More

We had an amazing dinner at I Latina in late January. The dining room and open kitchen are elegant, yet warm and welcoming. The food, wines, and service were exceptional. And when they overheard me saying that I forgot to take a picture of the sorbet, they brought me another one!

I Latina is such a cute little setting. You can see the kitchen from your seat. The food is amazing and the set menu changes often. The wine pairings are very good and they have a cute whiskey cart that comes around after dinner. A must-eat in Buenos Aires!

I went to I latina yesterday for dinner and I walked out completely satisfied and happy! Really a nice place, loved the service and the presentation of the plates were spectacular. My favorite thing though was the combination of flavors in each single course. Highly recommended !!

We live the San Francisco Bay area and have eaten at many of the top restaurants here and would put it on a par with the best in the bay... More

Do believe the great reviews on Trip Advisor. This beautiful home houses a lovely open kitchen restaurant. It is a bit off the beaten track in Villa Crespo but an easy taxi ride away. For dinner, the food is a fixed menu with the chef's selections and wine to accomodate each plate. On the night we were there, we had... More

I heard about I Latina through my sister who had eaten here a week before my girlfriend and I visited BA. You have to make a reservation beforehand, either via phone or email. Once the reservation was confirmed and we arrived at the address the next night, we weren't sure we were at the right place because of the empty... More
