Description
In both decor and spirit, Industria Argentina may be New York’s most thoroughly modern Argentine steakhouse. The presentation begins with a miniature flaky empanada delivered as an amuse-bouche—it’s more artful than it sounds. The tuna tiradito, often a rustic raw fish jumble at other places, isa delicate appetizer that layers frothy avocado puree atop silky tuna slices. Whisper-thin oven-dried tomato slivers are added to a ramekin of oozing smoked provolone, making for another stellar starter. For the main event, the kitchen hews more closely to the classic steakhouse formula, serving flame-licked steaks with piquant chimichurri. Check out the Tuesday night parrillada special, a mixed grill for two, featuring a platter of lamb chops, sausages, hanger steak and short ribs.
