Fodor's Expert Review Puerto La Boca

Located on the fringe of Little Italy’s bustling restaurant scene, this intimate Argentine steak house is named for a Buenos Aires waterfront neighborhood home to generations of Italian immigrants. The dimly lighted spot may not be as trendy as other dining spots here, but it's still a romantic and comfortable destination for visitors and neighborhood regulars. Patio seating is perfect for happy-hour munching on popular empanadas or tender marinated octopus in olive oil and garlic. The many steaks get a flavor boost from the tangy chimichurri sauce; other entrées include seafood, pasta, and the traditional Milanese, a breaded chicken cutlet.
