Doña

Originally a puertas cerradas restaurant (that is, one operated from a private residence), Doña gained such instant word-of-mouth that it quickly moved from the chef’s apartment and opened as a full-blown, public corner bistro in Almagro. Billed as comida tipo casa, the cuisine as an homage to the women in the chef’s family. As many Argentines have learned from their nonnas, pasta is the ultimate comfort food—and it’s the star of the show at Doña. Reserve a table for a dinner of house-specialty fusilli with meatballs and sauce.
