Nestled in the elegant Barrio Parque neighborhood, Casa Palanti is more than a restaurant; it's a meticulously restored architectural masterpiece designed in 1922 by the renowned Italian architect Mario Palanti, also responsible for Buenos Aires' iconic Palacio Barolo. Popularly known as 'La Casa Redonda' (The Round House), the building's distinctive curved walls and Art Nouveau details offer a captivating journey, with its interior spaces symbolically inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, guiding guests through 'Infierno,' 'Purgatorio,' and 'Paraíso' themed salons. The careful restoration by Eme Carranza Studio respects its historical essence while introducing contemporary elegance, featuring original marbles, woods, stained glass, and bespoke furnishings that create an intimate and theatrical atmosphere perfect for discerning travelers.
Under the culinary direction of Chef Juan Ventureyra, Casa Palanti offers a sophisticated interpretation of contemporary Porteña cuisine, rooted in a deep respect for high-quality, seasonal Argentine products with a subtle nod to its Italian heritage. While Chef Ventureyra himself was awarded a Michelin Star and Green Star in 2025/2024 for his work at Riccitelli Bistró in Mendoza, Casa Palanti focuses on a refined à la carte experience rather than a formal tasting menu, allowing guests to savor each dish. The menu emphasizes organic vegetables, ethically sourced meats, and fresh seafood, presented with a keen eye for both tradition and innovation.
The ambiance at Casa Palanti encourages elegance, conversation, and the sheer pleasure of dining in one of Buenos Aires' most unique and historic settings. Beyond its exquisite cuisine, the restaurant boasts a carefully curated wine list by sommelier Leo Fernández Aquino and innovative cocktails by Ludovico de Biaggi, further enhancing the luxury dining experience. With its charming patio and outdoor seating offering views of Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, Casa Palanti invites guests to indulge in a culinary and architectural dialogue, making it an unforgettable destination in the heart of the city.
