My girlfriend and I went to Corrientes the other day and we were blown away with the food (amazing pizza) and the service. We were sitting in the patio section and the bleach they were using on the furniture between guests was a tad too strong and ended up staining my shorts. My girlfriend has some Karen in her and messaged them over Facebook, and Corrientes said they would send over money to post for the shorts (we sent a picture of the shorts too). Turns out they gave us an extra $20 on top as a sorry. The food is already 10/10 good, but the service is just as great and it’s save to say I’ll be going there for a very long time.
We have been to Corrientes a few times in the past couple of years. Tonight was the latest and as usual, the food and service is excellent. We ordered the smoked salmon pizza. Thin crust, smoked salmon, balsamic and arugula, a perfect pizza. The room is clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable.
Excellent authentic South American Pizza! The staff were professional and the atmosphere was appropriate. The only complaint would be the squishy table placements.
A great little gem in the exchange. Romantic atmosphere, great pizza and friendly service. Interesting selection of non traditional pizza. Will definitely be back.
Stopped in for lunch the other day as a result of their advertised lunch special when I was walking by: 2 empanadas and soup or salad for $11. This may sound a bit steep, especially since you can find empanadas for $2 a piece in some places, but these were huge and tasty and did not disappoint. After I finished my salad, I only ate about half of each empanada (1 beef, 1 ham and cheese) so I got leftovers.
The service was attentive but not cloying. My water glass was never empty and my food came out fairly quickly, but I was also the only one on the patio as I beat the weekday lunch rush.
Fantastic empanada and I tend to be pretty critical of them but they really get it right. The empanadas and the pizza are delicious though I am not such a big fan of the sandwiches. Could be just a personal preference but I prefer to have more flavour. The pizzas give opprotunity for many different toppings.
First time diner and very impressed. Made reservations ahead of time and were seated promptly at an out of the way window seat for two. Perfect. Our server was pleasant and patiently answered our questions despite it being a busy Friday night. My guest and I started with 2 empanadas each before diving in to our pizzas. The star of our table was the Steve B: a peanut butter (yes!!), bacon and chicken pizza. Too crazy sounding to resist and it was fantastic! This night at Corrientes made a fan of us both!
I have come here for lunch a handful of times and I'm never disappointed. 11$ gets you 2 empanadas and a side salad or soup. The selection is amazing and the chimichurri sauce you get is delicious. Definitely recommend lunch, will try dinner soon!
I had the smoked salmon empanada to start and it was awesome. Pizzas were good. There are pizza options that I think I would have preferred but I was with a group and went with the consensus on what to get. We were there the night before good Friday and it was moderately busy. Service was fast and the highlight was definitely our server. She was fast, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Pretty much the best server I've had in winnipeg in the 3.5 years I've been here. Wish I caught her name so I could give her credit.
Beautiful location and tasty pizza, although perhaps not up to the price and the hype. Last time I went we had some really great pizza and wine, but the service wasn't great and everything seemed a bit overpriced for what it was.
I always have a good experience at Corrientes. Tonight was no exception. It was very vibrant and busy with a live guitarist. It created a lovely atmosphere. I had the pizza with goat cheese, ricotta, Brie, figs and seeds. I don't remember the name but it was delicious. Excellent service once again.
Decent place for lunch in the exchange. I came in a little late for lunch but the lady who I assume is the owner said it was fine. I got the lunch special which was a half salad and two empanadas. The salad was good, although a little heavy on the dressing (tasted like thousand island?). The four cheese empanada was a disappointment but the spinach one was excellent. Even the owner said it was her favorite. Good value for around $10.
The Swizzle Styx had lunch here today and it was OK. Unfortunately none of us ordered the pizza and I wish we had because it looked good. We all had the lunch special sandwich or empanadas with soup or salad. The soup was very good, the salad was OK, and the empanadas were OK...kind of bland but definitely nice and fresh. Service was very good and atmosphere/ambiance very nice. Of course parking in the area is a huge pain so not sure if we will be back, although I'm thinking we should give the pizza a try.

The pizza was good, but the high prices make this place a poor value.
I went for a very late lunch and the place was not busy. There was one other table with five people at it. The decor is very nice. For the most part it is an elegant setting. The place is broken into two rooms. The main dining room has about nine tables with a padded bench running along one wall. The rooms are separated by a wall made of exposed brick. There is a service window in the wall to allow the kitchen to pass the food to the servers. The main dining room features dark wood furniture and posters of people enjoying pizza. The second room is much smaller and has a crowded bookshelf and is adorned with large framed photos of the rock band KISS. I am assuming that the photos show the owner meeting the group. While I am a fan of the group as well, it seems a bit out of place in this setting.
My server was nice, but not overly attentive. This was a bit of a surprise as the place was definitely not busy. The restaurant bills themselves as an Argentine Pizzeria. I asked her what are the characteristics of an Argentine pizza and she didn't have an answer.
They have some sandwiches available for $14 and they also feature South American appetizers such as empanadas for around $4 each. You have the choice of thick or thin crust for the pizza. They have the regular toppings that you see as well as things like spinach. The prices are a drawback. Pizzas come in 12 inch or 15 inch sizes. A 12 inch pizza is in the $20-24 range while the 15 inch is $27-31. I had a pepperoni pizza and it cost $20 for a 12 inch. This, quite frankly, is an expensive pizza. The thin crust that I had was good. It had some crunch to it yet it was soft and chewy on the inside. I couldn't detect the sauce, I have no recollection if there was tomato sauce on my pizza or not. There is a rather thick layer of cheese. The coverage of the toppings was slightly underwhelming. For the price I paid, I would have appreciated more topping. The pepperoni was slightly spicy and had a good flavour. After ordering, it took a little over 15 minutes for my pizza to arrive.
Soft drinks come in glass bottles and are about $3 per bottle.
Overall, I liked the ambiance and the pizza itself..however, it is hard to justify the high price. For that reason, I am uncertain as to whether i would come back.
Unique Pizza!. I've been to Corrientes 2 times now and have loved it both times. The atmosphere is relaxing and intimate. Service was prompt and warm. Great place for a date! We have tried 4 Pizza's and all of them have been fantastic. Fresh cheese, not overly oily and plenty of toppings.
Excellent Pizza........ This was our third visit there and the pizza was better than ever!! Sooo good. Great service, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere.
This is one of the only restaurants in the city with real ambience! Amazing live jazz being played helped really bring the atmosphere to life and complimented the food. This restaurant is not for the faint of heart wallet-wise but definitely delivers high quality food, service and atmosphere for your dollar. I had the corrientes pizza and a pollo empanada. I haven't had such good empanadas since I was in Argentina! I will definitely be returning to Corrientes... Once I save up a little ;)
Great Food. Hd dinner last night at Corrientes. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. Had the Beef melt with potato salad. If you like a little zip in your food you'll love this. Try them - worth the visit
Really good dinner! This was the second time going to this restaurant. First time we weren't too impressed. However, 2nd time around the olmedo salad and pizza was delicious. Can't remember the pizza we got but it was the special and half of another with garlic cloves. We also had the slam empanada that was also delicious.
The service was great! The atmosphere was a nice place for dinner and had a great selection of drinks.
Definitely return sometime soon
Pretty good. Went to Corriente's on a date this summer, it was a good experience. We ordered two pizzas to share, one was the "Manitoba" pizza with pickerel cheeks, goat cheese, arugula, and a couple other toppings... I can't remember what we chose for our 2nd pizza, but they were both very satisfying. We were also interested in trying the "chef's selection" of appetizers offered in the menu but were told it was unavailable that day (a Saturday), which was the only minor disappointment. The empanadas looked tasty, so I'll probably return one of these days to give them a try. Overall, it's a small establishment (make a reservation!), with a cool vibe. I liked the assortment of books on the shelves lining the back walls too, thought it was a nice touch.
Quaint Exchange Spot. Love the homey feel near the back of the restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed the pizza selection. My partner loved her empanadas. Will return when theater season begins.
We were staying in a nearby hotel down the street and found Corrientes while out for a walk. We decided to go with the Chivito pizza because it had different toppings than your usual pizza place. The pizza crust was the perfect thickness, thin but still moist. The toppings were great and worked really well together. I know pizza and I can tell you this place does it well. I will definitely be going back to try more!
Good quality ingredients and nice embiance. We had the chefs choice app which was ok, loved the bumblebee salad! We ordered 4 different empanadas to share and a pizza. We were disappointed in the empanadas. The dough was quite chewy, reminded us of overworked pie crust. Pizza was ok. Considering we paid over $70 for two of us with no alcholic beverages plus parking for a meal that was just ok, I can't imagine we will be rushing back. A definite place I would recommend for others to try out at least once.
Great service, cold beer on tap and amazing pizza and apps. That's the way it should be.
Like it. I have been here on three separate occasions and I quite enjoy the food. Twice I indulged in the empanadas and once, the pizza. I prefer the empanadas.The pizza is expensive and nothing exceptional: thin crust, nice sauce. I shared the one with arugula and there was far too much of it uncooked on top.(that may be just my preference). I enjoy people watching on the streamlined patio and the service was good. Not much either good or bad to comment on.
Awesome. A couple of my co-workers and myself went for lunch early at 11 am on sept 11 2013.The melt was tasty and flavourful. The atmosphere was great and our waitress provided great service.

Potential, but not there yet. It was a perfect evening last night for sitting on the Corrientes patio.
My wife has been wanting to try them out for a while now, so off we went.
We showed up, and wanting to sit outside, stood beside the "Hostess will Seat you" sign.......for a good 5 minutes before we gave up and went inside.
There wasn't a single customer inside, expected, because it was so nice out. We were quickly seated.
Service was.....I'll say "ok".....not bad enough to complain about, but not good enough to compliment. The girls working were just there.....not friendly, but not rude. Not happy to see us, not terribly inspired to make a good impression. Putting in time, for the most part.
When our drinks were brought out, my beer glass was dirty. Well, not really 'dirty', but 'used'.....it still had the remains of the previous guy's beer in it. It was replaced with a "ewww....that's gross" from the server.
Given that there was not a single patron inside, the servers spend almost ALL of their time inside, away from the customers. I was never offered another drink, or a water refill.
Anyway, we ordered the flatbread app, which was good, with a nice red pepper and feta spread, as well as a zucchini-and-tomato-based relish.
Our pizzas, hers a margarita on thin crust, mine a ham and tomato on thick, were, again, ok. There's no difference between the thick and thin crusts, so why bother having a choice? Both pizza's were technically cooked, but were still too soft to pick up..... not quite "raw", but not quite 'right'. The cheese was melted, but not a hint of browning on top. A few more minutes in the oven would have made a big difference. The flavor was ok, but everything needs some sort of seasoning in the worst way.
All in all, very underwhelming. I'd love to taste a properly-cooked and seasoned pizza at Corrientes, because I think the potential is there, but they've got more than a few issues to deal with first.
Nice atmosphere, good service, great food! Pizzas are loaded with toppings! It's a definite place to check out!
Fantastic! My favorite is the Crudo thin crust pizza. Great wine selection and drink menu. Please keep in mind that this place is almost always busy... if you're in a rush, maybe go elsewhere. Otherwise relax, have a few drinks and enjoy some wonderful food.
Excellent!! My boyfriend and I went for dinner at Corrientes last night before heading to a fringe show. Our pizza was delish and our server was prompt and friendly! Also, the new patio was very cozy. We will definitely be back!!
Amazing Winnipeg Spot!. I've been here twice. The first time was during a busy lunch, and the food was great!! The pizza flavours are definitely unique and we also got the chef's choice appetizer - which was an experience in itself! Very tasty.
The second time I sat on the patio and had flatbread with dips (SO good! I crave it to this day) and an empanada!! I had the chicken empanada and it was delicious.
Looking forward to going back to the patio again this summer.
Delicious food and great service. The spinach empanadas are so great as well as the pizza.
Good Eats. Went to Corrientes before the theatre. Was very happy with my meal. Had the Margarita pizza which was delicous. Our group had various types of pizza and they all looked great. I had a Latte which was equally fabulous.
My only complaint is that my Caesar was not very good.
Good experience and will go back.

An Argentinian Experience. We visited this quaint pizzeria on February 8th and had a great experience. Reservations are simple on their website. This service is provided through urbanspoon, which also sends a reminder email.
When we arrived, the soft-spoken waiter took us to a small 2 person table that wobbled. With so many other tables available, the waitress wasted no time in finding us a sturdy table.
We were keen to try some of their wide selection of wines. While only a few are available by the glass, the prices by the bottle are quite reasonable and they will cork them for you to take home. The waitress was not well acquainted with the wines offered but was able to answer our questions after checking with someone else.
The Ciao! Dine About Winnipeg event (http://accesswinnipeg.com/2013/01/ciao-dine-about-winnipeg-2013-returns-february-2-12/) was on so we took advantage of the offer. For $28, we could choose from 2 appetizers (empanadas with either spicy beef or ham & cheese), 2 pizzas (Chivito or Crudo), and it also included a dessert of chocolate soufflé with ice cream and chocolate ganache. We decided to try one of each.
The spicy beef empanada was full of flavour and delicious. The ham empanada was tasty as well, but lighter.
Of the pizzas, I preferred the Crudo. It was topped with prosciutto, sundried tomatoes, and Buffalo mozzarella. The sundried tomatoes were rich and juicy and blended wonderfully with the cheese. I would definitely order this again.
The Chivito was topped with shaved angus rib eye, bacon, ham, hard boiled eggs, onion, banana peppers, provolone and mozzarella.
This small restaurant, which opened in July 2012, is owned by Noel Bernier. He also owns Hermanos, just down the street, and is opening a Brazilian BBQ restaurant called Carnaval at the corner of Bannatyne & Waterfront this month. Rumour has it he will be taking over the revolving restaurant as well! Based on my experiences at Hermanos & Corrientes, I’m definitely looking forward to trying them!
Funky pizza without the drive. So glad that I now don't have to drive across the city for funky pizza. It a good place with great staff. Ask our server to surprise us with a stuff pizza and it was great, can't remember the name but it had onions on top! Glad to see that this area is start to attract more funky restaurants.

Great Space, Good Food. The space is beautiful, amazingly light for being in a brick heritage building. The restaurant is inviting, and there's a great lounge-y area at the back, complete with a bookshelf full of interesting-looking books.
We went for lunch, and shared a "Manitoba" pizza...a crisp, thin-crusted pizza with pesto, pickerel cheeks, bacon, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese. The cracker-like crust was so thin and crispy (just how I like it); it seemed a little under-seasoned and could have used a touch of salt, but the toppings worked nicely together. A 15" pizza was $26, and was just the right size to share with a friend, because it was so thin and light.
They had a nice lunch-time drink special of a six-ounce glass of Cabernet for $4, and my friend enjoyed his chocolate and gelato dessert. When split, my bill was $29...a bit much for lunch all the time, but fine for catching up with a friend during the holidays.
Service was friendly and quick without being suffocating, and our food arrived quickly after ordering.
---19-August-2016---
I have now sampled almost every empanada and rating is going to a 4.5 as the quality is so good and never waivers. The prices are reasonable and the chimichurri is the best I've ever had. This is now also on my favourite collection.
---2-February-2016---
I just ordered a beef and a salmon empanadas for take out at lunch today, and I have to say that I enjoyed it much more than the pizza on my previous visit. The flavourings were great, but it wasn't piping hot... I ordered via skip-the-dishes, not knowing for 1 dollar more I could have had the special with soup or salad. I will try a Cuban next time, but I am increasing my previous 2.5 rating to 3.
---21-August-2014---
A let-down. Went here expecting great, authentic pizza.
As I love thin crust, crispy and smokey.... I was really disappointed. There was soooo much cheese on our marg. pizza, that the crust was floppy and soggy.
The appetizer was good though... but not enough to bring me back.
Best Service and Staff in the City.. I have been to Corrientes a couple times since it opened. I really like the place. I think the staff here are so friendly and helpful You can tell they are all straight from Argentina, or of Latin background. I am studying Spanish and my girlfriend speaks it and they even talked some Spanish with us. They are really helpful with there menu, and very helpful with their wine selection. The restaurant is very gorgeous inside, great location, and a very nice place for dinner. The empanadas are very nice, as are the pizzas. The charcuterie board we had was not the best however. The items on it just weren't worth the price you pay, and look like basic deli meats and cheese cubes you would see at a social. Despite this minor setback, I really enjoy Corrientes. The staff and ambience will keep me coming back.

Delicious Appie-Standard Pizza. My bf and I tried Corrientes on a Saturday night around 9pm with no reservation, but despite the restaurant being full they were able to squeeze us in right away. The interior is nice, albeit on the dark side, especially at the bar where we were temporarily seated while our table was being cleaned off. For starters I wanted to try the Picada (6 small chef's choice appies) ($14) because Ms Warhaft from the WFP said it was the best thing--and she was right! That night we received: smoked chicken with orange, eggplant roll stuffed with feta, mozza rolls with balsamic, broccoli covered in a white sauce, pickerel ceviche, and beef carpaccio with some sort of topping. Our favorites were the melt-in-your-mouth carpaccio slices and the fresh, lively ceviche. The orange complimented the smokey chicken fabulously and the bite size pieces of mozza and eggplant were good as well. I did not care for the broccoli, the sauce tasted almost Aisan-like and overall just wasn't for me. I would definitely order the Picada again, it was my favorite part of the meal. We also received a large basket of toasted bread, which was OK. I would have preferred it come with some butter or olive oil for dipping because it was pretty thick, crunchy, and plain. Next we sampled the onion and cheese empanada ($3.75) which also was delicious, packed full of flavor, and had the perfect pastry to filling ratio. Lastly, we settled on the Humita 12" pizza ($16) which is thin crust and topped with cream sauce, corn, cheese, and bacon. I have never had corn on a pizza, but it was tasty. The bacon was a little light and the pizza wasn't overly cheesy. While the pizza tasted good (especially the cream sauce base) it wasn't anything I would consider special or unique--it wouldn't have me coming back like the empanadas or picada plate would. For 2 people with all that we ordered we still ended up with 4 leftover slices of pizza, so I would consider the food a good value. I would have loved to try the 3 different dessert empanadas but I was too full. They do seem to offer however an extensive coffee menu, so it makes a nice place to come for dessert and coffee alone. Service was good throughout the evening. I definitely recommend coming here to try the empanadas and appetizers. Don't come specifically for the pizza or you'll be unimpressed.
Awesome place!!!! Excellent food, finally real food and different flavors, the service was excellent and the ambience amazing :) I had a very good time :) I highly recommend it you will never regret
New place....some growing pains.. I have been here a few times and while the pizzas are a must, the younger servers are a bit rough around the edges. The pizzas are not the american grease mess you may be thinking. These are seemingly healthy pies that are subtle on ingredients but packed with flavours. While it is a bit pricey, this east exchange eatery is quaint and pleasant. Some strange interior design choices such as wine shelves right by the door (loaded with wines!?), make one think this is a work in progress. Romantic and warm. I have faith that this establishment can trim off the frayed edges to become a truly great place. Ummm....and the Argentinian beer is so good.
Dinner for 3: appetizer sampler, carrot provolone soup, Los immortales 12" hand tossed crust, margherita thin crust, Douro wine!
Fantastic service, great atmosphere, great food and wine, very fresh!
We had dinner here this evening and it was fantastic! There were 4 in our party; each couple shared a salad and a 12 inch pizza and it was perfect. Amazing salad, wonderful Corrientes pizza and lovely Argentinian red wine. The service was great too. And the decor is very very lovely. Will definitely return!!

Authetic? I don't know - but Tasty!. Went on a Tuesday night at six thirty - only one other table when we arrived, but by the time we left there were perhaps five or six occupied tables in addition to our own. While there seemed to be small tables on the sidewalk outside, these were not offered to us. Argentinian? music was played over speakers at a decent level.
Our server seemed a bit confused by our order at first, but did trouble to confirm if she had it correct before taking it to the kitchen.
Decor was nothing special - although the small library area towards the back is an interesting idea which could use a bit of explanation - perhaps a small sign indicating if the books are to be read at the restaurant, or if they are okay to take with you (and if it's okay for you to leave a book behind?) One note that struck off key were the paper napkins - as a relatively expensive restaurant, I had expected cloth napkins and perhaps even tablecloths.
Had the Mixta salad - which could have perhaps used a few more tomato pieces, but was otherwise satisfactory - my dinning partner enjoyed the white beans especially. Then came two of the empanadas - we ordered carne and pollo. Our experience with empanadas is limited, but we were pleased with the pastry and fillings for these two choices. Our pizza choice was the "Crudo" with thin crust - and while it was very pleasing to the taste buds, we found that after awhile the cheese became a bit on the over-powering side. The crust was quite good. We had ordered the 15 inch pizza, and with the salad and an empanada each, this was more then enough for two - the take home pizza served us for lunch the next day as well.
To conclude - the food is good, and the portions are generous - although a single empanada would probably not suffice for diner, the lunch special advertised within the restaurant - with a salad or soup paired with any empanada, for just under $10 sounds enticing, perhaps worthy of a repeat visit.
Excellent. I luv the restaurant, Pizza is crusty thin, luv that is not overloaded with toppings, so you can really taste the flavors. Bruschetta was just perfect balanced, between tomatoes, olive oil and basil. For dessert we had an empanada of dulce de leche and Banana, which was sweet but enough to enjoy it. coffee is strong and tasty.

Meh. I went back recently to try this place a second time. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside, where there are a few tables set on the sidewalk. If you end up sitting here, you should go inside to order and pay first then the server will bring your food out (at least that's what we were told when we assumed that it was table service just like the inside of the restaurant). Also, if you want some vino, note that they don't have a liquor license for the tables outside so if you want a drink, sit inside the restaurant.
Anyhow, I like the seating outside even if it's a little squishy as it's set on the sidewalk. I opted for the their lunch special because I didn't enjoy their pizza on the first go around. The lunch special is $9.95 for any 1 empanada with a side salad. Unfortunately it's a really small portion for lunch, I wasn't even super hungry and I felt like I needed at least another empanada or at least a larger salad. So my advice is to add an extra empanada if you opt for the lunch special. I wanted to like this place but it just hasn't worked out for me. Oh well, like I said in my previous review, Simon's Cuisine still has the best tasting empanadas and best value too.
-----24 Jul, 2012-----
More chicken on the pizza please. Corrientes is from the same owner and chef as Hermanos. In fact, it's a 2 minute walk from Hermanos, west of Rorie Street (right beside the new Boon Burger location).
The menu is short and to the point, there are salads, variety of thin and thick crust pizzas, empanadas and a few desserts. I was excited to try their Argentine pizza and empanadas. I am not quite sure what makes an Argentine pizza, distinctly Argentinian but I know that food in this region has a lot of influences from Italy. The pizzas come in 12" ($16-$22)and 15" ($23-$30); there are a few very interesting pizzas to select from. I opted for the "Corrientes" 12" ($22) - chicken, basil pesto, roasted garlic and provolone. The pizza can easily be shared between 2-3 people especially if you order some appetizers. But it can for sure feed 2 people if you're just there for pizza. This was thick crust pizza but it wasn't overly thick by any means. The dough was more bread like and there was A LOT of provolone cheese on this pizza and very light on the rest of the toppings (barely any chicken). So if you like heavily cheesed pizzas, then this is for you. I prefer more balance between all the toppings on my pizzas so this one didn't do it for me.
I love the empanadas from Simon's Cuisine (an Argentine place on St. Mary's Road). I'm sure different regions make their empanadas differently but because Simon's are the only Argentinian empanadas I've had, that is the benchmark I will use to compare to Corrientes. The empanadas are ordered as a starter or a really light meal if you order a few. $3.75-$4.75 per empanada - it's about the size of a pizza pop. Corrientes' version tastes like more like a calzone, thicker bread that encases the filling. I like how the empanadas are folded differently which helps identify what filling is inside. I tried the "carne ahumda" - smoked beef and onion and the "pollo" - chicken, onion and tomato sauce. The chicken one was seasoned well whereas the beef one was quite bland - tasted just like unseasoned ground beef. I still prefer Simon's empanadas as the exterior is lighter and the fillings have a lot of flavour.
I like that they have an extensive wine list and the few wines by the glasses were all very reasonable at about $5-$7 per glass. The restaurant is a moderate size with a bar and dining room and has a nice casual feel with lots of Latin music playing. Service is extremely warm and friendly and food service was pretty fast.
Great pizza. Lots of cheese and other toppings are generous. Empanadas are tasty as was the chefs appetizer plate.
EMPANADAS!. The historic and stylish setting sets the mood for delightful pizza experience. Charming staff, Empanadas to die for and fantastic fresh made pizza. The wine list is extensive for such a small place and creates a feel like no other pizzeria in Winnipeg. The Argentine dessert "ginduia" is a must have decadent treat.
Had dinner at Corrientes tonight- it was fantastic! The empanadas and pizza we tried were delicious, and our dessert (the gianduia, a chocolate hazelnut mousse) was decadent. Nice laid-back atmosphere and exceptional service. Will be going back soon!
This restaurant is charming! Tried two kinds of empanadas, both were delicious. And I really enjoy their small bites breakfast menu. Am in love with the ham & cheese croissant! The morning staff are so friendly.
Have yet to try a pizza, and while the prices do seem a bit high, I have no doubt that the quality will be worth every cent.
Welcome to the neighbourhood, Corrientes!
Fun and Delicious!!!. My fiance and I stumbled upon this on our way to Hermanos. I wanted Italian, he wanted Latin- he won. but then we saw "Argentine Pizzeria" and we found the best of both worlds!! I started with the salad, which was fresh and tasty, and my fiance had two empanadas. I didn't taste them because he looked like he was enjoying them way too much to share. We then split a 12" pizza, and (another big deal for couples) could get it half and half! It was amazing! And then we found out it was their first week open - totally unexpected since the meal and service were flawless. Great job!
We loved the chicken pesto pizza, the empanadas were great our favorite was the salmon/pickerel one. Great pricing on wine and beer. Noelle has made another restaurant success!
First time here yesterday, now easily one of my favorite restaurants! What a great place! This is the best sangria in WPG. Pizza was bomb, empanadas were delicious and priced great. Service was great We can't wait to come back. 5/5
We enjoyed our lunch today. Had been to this restaurant a few times in the past as well - always enjoyed the food there. We ordered 3 different pizzas today - Los Immortales, Guerrin, and the Salmon Ahumado. All were unique in their flavour profiles- and we liked them all. The Tuco sauce is their house pizza sauce - tomated based. The Salmon pizza had a pesto sauce as the base - fantastic flavour of the pesto and the salmon. Drink menu has a lot of choices - we decided on a couple of cappuccinos. They were blended nicely with a lovely coffee bean flavour. It wasn't busy today for lunch, hard to say what it looks like Monday to Friday with its downtown/exchange district location. We would recommend this restaurant for interesting pizza combinations. Nice decor. Street parking is available. A nice size restaurant- enough space to gather with a few friends or family. Thanks for another great meal.
I ordered a box of empanadas and they were legit! When I passed my dad the box he said I should have warned him because the box was so heavy. They were perfectly filled and had a tender and not-greasy crust. The bonus chimichuri sauce was garlicky and fresh. I can’t wait to go back and have pizza. (Photo was taken after carrying the box through two airports!)
Had dinner on a Friday night, there was available seats on the patio so we opted for that, parking is a bit of a hassle but just need to shell out 5 bucks on paid parking.
The pizza crust is really good, Corientes pizza is garlicky and cheesy remember to request for chilli sauce and they will give you a spicy tomato based dip that is really really delicious and pairs well with the pizza, we also tried 3 different empanadas the pulled pork, lamb and mexican comes with chimichuri sauce on the side, definitely go for the pulled pork 😋 and to end the meal we had the Flan Casero.
We will definitely be back to try their other pizzas and empanada flavours!
First time eating here and found the empanada tasted great! So as the pizza! Wow! Will definitely come back 👍🏼👍🏼
We ordered four empanadas as one main, a 15” Guerrin pizza as the second, and shared. They have so many empanada options, and we tried the corn, mushroom (++), beef (++), and mac and cheese fillings. All good, but the mushroom and beef in particular stood out. The Guerrin pizza featured ham and green olives, the salty toppings offset by the excellent Tuco, an Argentinian take on tomato sauce. We also shared a Chocorrupt for dessert, three rich scoops of Giandula mousses in white, milk and dark. Good food in a cozy atmosphere. They had an acoustic guitarist playing covers with a Spanish twist the night we were there. He was quite good, and not overpowering
Wow! Wow! Wow! It was our first time dining at Corrientes and I have only one regret - why have we not been here before? Honestly, the food, service and patio can only be described with one word - PERFECT! We started with their fresh salad and empanadas. We did a half and half pizza to capture the best of what we thought were the best on the menu - Canadian Flag and the Chivito. Finished off with the Frozen Leaves Autumn Creme Brule.
The beers are frozen, the servers are AWESOME (Thanks Cassandra 😊), the pizza is delicious and the patio is perfect for a summer evening date.
Would highly recommend to everyone!
