I did later check this, and Scannapieco just moved a few blocks away, and these days they have two locations.

Alvarez Thomas 10, right across from the Mercado de las Pulgas. It’s as good as it ever […]

That’s a true shame, it really was one of the best in the city. Thanks for the update.

A huge loss to the neighborhood, and to the city’s gelato culture. Angelin (pizzeria) + Scannapieco used to be a favorite combo.

So, the vegetarian soy burger turns out to be actually pretty darned good. Not the best veggie burger I’ve had in my life, by any stretch, but better than, say, the frozen soy milanesas that show up on various local menus. No picture unfortunately, perhaps one day… On the other hand, a picture of the hamburguesa janio, the house “regular” burger with the works – topped with a slice of marinated pork loin, pickles, grilled onions, lettuce, cheddar cheese and mayo. The patty itself, a sort of pressed, pre-formed one, but doesn’t strike me as the usual thin frozen patty – like the soy version, it seems likely they make it themselves and just pre-form them. The toppings, great. Only criticism, asked for medium rare, received medium well. Fries, excellent.

Janio - burger
