La Mezzetta
Open on Avenida Álvarez Thomas since 1939, La Mezzetta is one of the standard references cited by name for fugazzeta rellena in Buenos Aires, known for a thick, heavily-cheesed, stand-up counter format. A local Villa Ortúzar outlet profiled the family lineage that has run it since Marcelino, Gervasio and Abelardo Rodríguez bought the business in 1957, and named staff (Horacio Conde, son of Marcelino; Luis Dovale) as continuing that line today.
