Panini favorites are the Prosciutto with the namesake Italian ham grilled with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and spinach on ciabatta, and the Americano with smoked ham and Swiss cheese.

Aside from pizzas and salads—including the most popular “Tortoni Buenos Aires” salad, a layered chef creation with tomato, hard-cooked egg, cucumber, avocado, mozzarella, and carrots—there are also entrees like grilled flank steak with rustic mashed potatoes. Caffé Classico serves lunch and dinner six days a week. Weekends often see the addition of live entertainment, including musical ensembles and dance performances.
