Il Gabbiano

Frommer's Review

If Bariloche's dining scene has a sure thing, this outstanding Italian restaurant is it. Located close to the Llao Llao, Il Gabbiano is a labor of love for its owners. It's set inside a bungalow that has a Mediterranean feel, with brick, iron, and stonework reminiscent of a countryside farmhouse. The menu is authentic italiano. Antipasti include bruschetti and salmon with grapefruit. Delicate homemade pastas are varied and fresh. Main entrees include osso bucco, rabbit with garlic and rosemary, and a simple trout with lemon. The wine cellar has more than 250 labels, including a good selection of European varieties, rare in Patagonia. Note: They do not accept any credit cards.
