Ive never understood why it is sooo hard to find restaurants that follow the true format that you get when you travel to Italy (especially Rome).

D for ingenuity & creative effort - it was just a cut and paste job from one of dozens of restaurants

A for truth in advertising, and sparing me the effort.

An Indian and a Chinese restaurant would be welcomed by me. However I'd probably be their only customer.

By my estimate, you need a population of at least 50,000 to have someone dare open a Chinese Restaurant. For an Indian restaurant, you need to have 1 million plus..... and even then its going to be haaard to find a place with even a remotely Indian Menu. The number of places in Buenos Aires with an Indian menu can be counted with the fingers of your hands (and the somewhat decent ones are only two), so that pretty much sums things up....

Argentina is not a good destination for Ethnic Cuisine....
