Originally a traditional pizzeria, it gradually shifted focus to become a renowned pastry shop specializing in ricotta cake. The establishment, now known as 'El Capo de la Torta de Ricota,' has seen a significant increase in popularity over time, with daily sales of around 1,500 ricotta cakes per week during peak times. The owners, Joaquín Ciafardini and Hernán Cousture, acquired the business in 2018 and have since expanded its offerings while maintaining its heritage. The pizzeria has also played a role in Buenos Aires' cultural scene, hosting notable artists and musicians in its early years.
