 Carlitos Gardel offers the robust beef- and garlic-centric cuisine of Buenos Aires, along with an air of romance, created by low lighting and a live pianist on Fridays and Saturdays. Start with the matambre, a flank steak rolled around a mélange of pimientos, hard-cooked chopped eggs and pungent herbs. For a lighter beginning, share the refreshing ensalada de la casa, a platter heaped with diced cucumber, hearts of palm, raw onion, tomato and egg, all tossed in tangy vinaigrette. There's also a slew of traditional plates like empanadas, hongos, and chorizo. One dish sums up all the entrées: entraña a la parrilla, a grilled skirt steak (at least a foot in length) accompanied by skinny fries and a silver gravy boat of chimichurri sauce. What helps set this place apart, though, is a wine list boasting a selection of Argentine wines, along with fine French, American and Italian selections. Don't be intimidated, as any choice from the list is bound to serve you well.
