Chef Salvatierra was born in Argentina, he's of Italian descent, and he's married to an Austrian; thus, the menu at his restaurant, Bontá, features a fusion of Argentinian and Italian cuisine, and it also features German cuisine. I stayed on the Argentinian & Italian page and chose Gaucho Pasta. It was penne pasta with mushrooms, peas, and slices of sausage. The dish was tossed in a marinara sauce that included cheese and white wine. The sausage was supposedly home made Argentinian style, but to me it resembled sweet Italian sausage (I could taste fennel). The tomato based sauce was a bit creamy, undoubtedly due to the cheese in it, and there was plenty of it. The dish also included plenty of the sausage, most of which was hiding under the top layer of pasta. The chef made a visit to everyone's table, something I always enjoy, and our waiter was a real hoot. Turns out that he went to London and earned himself a master's degree in Shakespearean literature!
