The story
Siamo nel Forno, on Costa Rica in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, has earned recognition that few pizzerias in South America can claim: a 2-slice rating from Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food guide, in 2023. That distinction places it in serious company and signals a commitment to craft that goes well beyond the ordinary.
"Siamo nel forno" — Italian for "we're in the oven" — is both a playful expression and a statement of intent. The name hints at the centrality of the wood-fired oven to everything the kitchen does, and at a culture that takes its pizza seriously without taking itself too seriously.
Earning slices from Gambero Rosso, a guide with deep roots in Italian gastronomic culture, is meaningful precisely because the standard being applied is an Italian one. For a Buenos Aires address to meet that bar speaks to the quality of the dough, the sourcing of ingredients, and the consistency of the bake. It is the kind of recognition that travels, and that draws visitors and locals alike who want pizza made with genuine care.
