"Topped with herbs and served sizzling in a cast iron pan, this melted provolone cheese was ridiculously good! Hands down my favorite of the night. I couldn't recommend this highly enough."

"To start, order the goat cheese provoleta—cooked on the grill to form a crackling crusty exterior with oozing melted cheese inside—plus the mollejas (veal sweetbreads) extra crispy with salt and lemon juice, and the arugula and butternut squash salad."

"This modern parrilla caused a buzz when it opened in 2014. The menu is limited but everything on it is spectacular, from the crispy provoleta (barbecued cheese) to the tenderloin and rib cuts."

"Enter the soccer themed traditional Argentine steakhouse to feast on grass fed beef so tender the waiters cut it with a spoon. Order your steak with a wild boar chorizo sausage, cheesy provoleta right off the grill, creamy flavorful sweetbreads, and a bottle (or two) of Malbec."

"We start with provoleta, a cheese that comes as a disc and is grilled on the parilla. It is soft on the inside and somewhat like a halloumi without the squeak – a tasty cheese melted."

"Intense. The only word I can think of to describe how good this starter is. Squish that lemon juice all over and slice this warm piece of dairy up as well as you can out of the dark ceramic serving dish. We shared between three and that was perfect."

"A big old round of provolone cheese grilled directly on the asado and brought to the table sizzling hot and melty, to be cut up and eaten with basket-bread immediately to avoid it hardening. Deliciously gooey and oily with tons of oregano sprinkled over the top."
