👍👍 This is one of the traditional restaurant in the city. After a improvement this place looks contemporary and cosy. The food is just great and the waiters were so kind. If you are visiting Montevideo or you are a biggest fan of one of the traditional dishes of Uruguay ( the Chivito) I would recommend... People often mention pizza, Great, good,

    This is one of the traditional restaurant in the city. After a improvement this place looks contemporary and cosy. The food is just great and the waiters were so kind. If you are visiting Montevideo or you are a biggest fan of one of the traditional dishes of Uruguay ( the Chivito) I would recommend the tasty chivito I have ever ate in Montevideo.

    Very popular and busy place. A short wait before we could get a seat. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza to share. Not speaking any Spanish, our waitress was amazing, using Google translate to help us navigate the menu. Pizza was ok. We thought it had too much mozzarella, too little pepperoni and under seasoned. We returned the next day to get the famous El Chevito sandwich, and we were not disappointed. It was delicious. It came with chips and was easily enough for two people. Delicious!

    Whether you want to have a cup of coffee, a snack, lunch or dinner, this place has it all. No wonder they have been in business for more than half a century. Regarding service, be ready to deal with real pros. Waitstaff will always get your orders right.

    Love this neighborhood restaurant! The same gentleman was my waiter both times and the first time, when I had just arrived, he very kindly told me about all the Uruguayan menu options, so I tried my first faina, which was amazing!

    Great Uruguayan food served by the most attentive staff.

    One of the best pizzas and fainas I've tried. Great service too!

    I went there because I saw there was a promotion of around 800 Uruguayan pesos which included coffee, scones, cake, alfajor, and many other delicious dessert. Definitely a must try if you have time

    Literally the worst spagetti bolognese I ever had. Pasta was overcooked by 10minutes at least, it had no other taste than oil. Atmosphere and staff were nice.

    Service is superb which complements the excellent food. Nice family atmosphere and very welcoming.

    Average place. The environment is of a neighbourhood's restaurant. Staff is quite friendly and it seems to have quite a fixed set of costumers, so you see them chatting at the tables as friends or ordering "the usual". The waitress seemed a bit too chatty, going into personal stuff that I'm not very sure the costumers were much interested on. Food arrived quite on time, very generous portions. Not always well done, the chicken beef was chewy and almost raw. They should warn when there's a dessert in the menu they don't have.

    Great pizza and menu for minutas. Not having good beer is a minus. Tables being very close to each other is another one

    A classic in Montevideo. Everything is good. Staff are friendly. They have withstood the test of time! Great place for a relaxed, not-too-expensive tasty meal.

  • 5/5 Fábio T. 1 year ago on Google
    The "Chivito en el plato" is really huge and absolutely delicious! Also, the staff is very polite, helpful and lovely!

    Best pizza in the barrio

  • 5/5 Santiago G. 2 years ago on Google
    A Punta Carretas classic. The pizza, mozzarella and fainá are among the best in Montevideo. Also try their milanesa napolitana, entrecot and chivitos.

  • 5/5 Lucía Pérez K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to eat Uruguayan pizza, faina, milanesa or chivitos!! Service is fast and kind, prices very affordable. Recommended!

    A popular and often crowded restaurant at the corner of 21 de Septiembre and Ellauri. Chez Piñero is kind of a neighborhood institution and watering hole for locals at all times of the day and evening. The closest typology that Americans could relate to is a diner, serving a pretty diverse menu. Servings are ample and reasonably priced. The food is pretty good, too --- well prepared and condimented. A number of the staff have been at the restaurant for many years; so, experienced crew working the kitchen and dining room. I think "chivitos al plato" must be a house specialty as so many tables order these very impressive mounds of food!

    Pizza is good here . It's so heavy. Too much of cheese . It's so yummy . But chicken pizzas are not available here. To much of tomato flavour . Thanks and Regards, TravelBiteFun. Follow us @fb, insta , youtube

    We are a small family of 4 and decided to share the appetizer tray for 2. It was a TON of food! Pizza, pizza mozzarella, fainà, french fries, milanesa, fish nuggets, chicken nuggets , mozzarella sticks, olives, spring rolls, pizza sauce and cheese sauce for dipping, soy sauce, cheese and a few slices of salami and another creamy type sauce. Oh- and the waiter made sure to bring a plate with lemon wedges for the milanesa and fish. No one left hungry! Service was wonderful and courteous as always.

🫤 Not as good as the Google rating. Fried fish is OK, very basic food. Nothing special here. Service was good. The seating is very poor quality and not as nice as pictured, unfortunately as it is near the water but with no water views.
