A popular meat-eating spot along Sarmiento, La Florencia likely owes half of its success to its street-side kitchen, outside of which passersby can watch a cornucopia of carnes sizzling over a wood-fired grill. Prices are comparable with other restaurants in the area, with a perfectly seasoned brochette mixto (chicken, steak and pancetta) going for $9. Add an order of puree de manzanas for $2.75 and make it a meal. The wine list is extensive here, though pricier than those in surrounding restaurants. The inside dining room is large and bright, more akin to a communal dining hall than fine dining. Outdoor seating is available, weather permitting. Credit cards accepted.
