Roman’s selection of 120 day wet-aged, grass-fed black angus beef cuts are grilled on an Argentinian parrilla at a slightly lower temperature and for a longer period of time – similar to the Patagonian method of barbecuing crafted by Buenos Aires-born celebrity chef, Francis Mallmann. Argentine cuts are lean, tender and full of flavor. Pair your meal with Prohibition-era cocktails and both classic and rare European and Argentine wines. Dining at Artango is a memorable journey to Argentina.

We left it up to our server to determine what/how much to feed a group of 6 with no dietary restrictions. Best decision we could have made! Every bite was excellent, and it was just the right amount of food.

We are LONG time fans of the Little Goat Diner when it was on Randolph. I love the new space but disappointed with the food. Some of the staples are gone (Los Drowned pot roast au jus ) and other things aren’t as high quality. We had the Kale salad (and thankfully it was mostly unchanged) but the chicken added was minimal. We then ordered the sloppy chicken Sammie and it was super salty - and had the same Cole slaw as the salad. We want the old food back. Waitress was lovely!!
