Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy Filo – we’ve been probably two dozen times over the last few years and never had anything that wasn’t spot-on, including the service. On the other hand, my first choice for Italian in Buenos Aires would likely be Il Matterello.

I was very disappointed by Filo. If I want Italian in Buenos Aires again, I will go to Broccoloni. Better in every respect (food, ambience, service). Much better. FYI – I ordered the bacon and spinach pizza and sat at the bar. The guy serving me was not really interested in serving me, the pizza was extremely greasy. The crust was ok, not great. I ordered bruschetta to start and it was excellent.

Returned to Filo yesterday. I’d been hearing from people that they’d tried it and like it, but weren’t as impressed with the Pizza Filo as I’d been. I wasn’t either this time. The pizza itself is perfectly good, I like the crust, it’s got a decent quantity and quality of toppings on it. But, the combination like I’d had the first time was definitely missing. Instead of the dozen or so things in overlapping sections that made it so interesting, it was simply divided in quarters, each quarter with a different topping – chopped tomatoes, ham, spinach, and mushrooms. No combos. Not disappointing as a pizza, but disappointing in comparison to the one I’d tried a year ago. Now, one difference – the time I went last year, the place was only about half full; yesterday every table was full, and people were lined up waiting – maybe the chef isn’t as creative when he’s that busy, and I’m not sure I could blame him.
