Experience Buenos Aires’ Golden Age at Artango Bar and Steakhouse, where the rich cultural heritage of Argentina comes alive. Set amidst a tableau of Art Nouveau and Neo-classical architecture and décor are the exciting tastes, lively music and dancing of Argentina.An evening at Artango feels as if you’ve traveled to Buenos Aires, and guests have the opportunity to enjoy authentic imported Grass-Fed Argentinian steaks. 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 had a fabulous time at our dinner. While we thought our empanadas were delicious, the steak flight for two was the highlight, along with the pisco sours. Our sides (we got asparagus and the truffled fingerling potatoes) were very good, but I will probably explore others on the list next time we go. But how could they shine next to the steak? We were there on a Saturday night when they had live music, and that elevated the whole experience to be super vibey and extra fun. We had churros for dessert just to stay longer and enjoy, and they were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

Head Chef Ceasar really knows how to bring unique pairings together, both flavor and texture, that will leave you meditating over each bite. An absolute must! Top service from every staff person; from the head chef to the host to the waiting staff. Everyone takes pride in their work and it is tangible in the overall experience

I took my girlfriend her for her birthday. I was looking for a different experience then the typical river north or west loop restaurants which are very expensive. We were greeted at the door and made to feel welcomed right away. We were seated right away and made simple talk with the owner and the chef as we waited for the other couple that would be joining us for dinner. As soon as they arrived, the owner thanks us for coming and told us how the concept works. The drinks he made were delicious. The food was next level. Every dish was delicious. They actively are engaged with you the entire time. Honestly, it felt like you were at a friends house have dinner instead of being at restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the experience and especially for the food!
