We went on a Tuesday evening. It was also 1/2 price wine day. I love the way pizza is served Gaucho style. The varied number of pizza brought to your table lets you try combinations you would normally not eat. The appetizers are very good….. except I am not a fan of arugula, but my friend enjoyed it. The meatballs are my favorite.
