About this spot
In the heart of La Boca, La Moderna serves up thick-crust pizzas that are distinctly different from the thin Neapolitan style found elsewhere in Argentina. The kitchen specializes in hearty meat pies like the massive 'pastel de papa' and savory empanadas that define the neighborhood's rustic dining scene.
