Banchero at the corner of Corrientes & Talcahuano. The original location was opened in 1932 in La Boca. But the history of Banchero dates back to 1893 when a Genovese immigrant, Agustín Banchero, arrived in La Boca and - like many Italian immigrants at the time - settled in the neighborhood.

Soon he opened a bakery named Riachuelo after Lo Boca's river. In 1932 he opened the current restaurant with his two sons.

Banchero: Home of the Original Fugazzetta

Banchero is a pizzeria with a claim to fame: they are the founders of one of the city's most iconic flavors.

Fugazzetta is a classic Argentine pizza. It's a filled pizza, with mozzarella sandwiched between two pizza crusts and topped with raw onion slices and sometimes a bit more cheese.

This is called fugazzetta, fugazzetta rellena, fugazzetta con queso... regardless of the name you'll get a very cheesy onion pizza with no sauce.

It is better than it sounds, especially when done well.
