Buenos Aires' Hidden Gem: Giuseppe Vicenti's Focaccia Sandwiches and a Taste of Italian History

Tucked away in the Villa Crespo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, lies Giuseppe Vicenti, a focaccia sandwich shop that's quickly become a local favorite. Opened less than two years ago, the shop is already attracting long lines. "Todos los días hay fila para comprar," says the video narrator, highlighting the shop's popularity. The shop's unique charm lies not only in its delicious sandwiches—with popular options like the Giuseppe Focaccia and Vicenti Focaccia—but also in its nostalgic decor. The walls are adorned with family photographs and documents tracing the owner's family's immigration from Bari, Italy, in 1923. The name itself is a tribute to the owner's nonno. Beyond sandwiches, Giuseppe Vicenti also offers a delightful array of Italian coffee and pastries, including cannoli, sfogliatella, and tiramisu. The shop's success is a testament to its delicious food and heartwarming atmosphere, making it a must-visit for anyone in Buenos Aires.
