The story
Cimiciurri, tucked away on Via Pietro Panzeri in Milano, has been generating buzz for its empanadas—but the reviews tell two different stories. Creator Mochohf found the empanadas decent, yet noted they “lack the authentic juiciness of a true Tucumana,” and questioned the high ranking compared to the ramen. Meanwhile, a separate review from Qui si Taffia described a spot near the Two Towers in Bologna as a hidden gem that “feels like Buenos Aires,” praising its authentic Argentine empanadas.
The contradiction in location suggests either a second outpost or a mix-up in creator coverage, but the Milano address remains the official home. Dishes like the Empanada di Carne and Empanada di Prosciutto e Formaggio are on offer, though opinions diverge on execution. For those in Milano, Cimiciurri offers a casual, hole-in-the-wall Argentine fix—just don’t expect the same experience that earned a thumbs-up in Bologna.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Cimiciurri’s empanada di carne earns rapturous praise for its flaky, savory perfection, while the overall vibe is one of unpretentious, soulful warmth that makes every bite feel like a homecoming.
“This is my favorite one — the beef empanada. It's really authentic, with a proper filling. I can taste the Argentine vibe here.”
“The empanada has a lot of cumin and spices, the meat is minced — not shredded like in the traditional Tucumana. The pastry isn't super crispy, it's a bit breadier. I remember other empanadas being much juicier inside, almost brothy with a thickened sauce. Here there are olives too, which are banned from the real Tucumana. It's good, but I'm not sure it deserves 20th place, way above the ramen.”

Cimiciurri serves decent empanadas but they lack the authentic juiciness of a true Tucumana, and the ranking feels too high compared to the ramen.

Empanada di Carne
The empanada has a lot of cumin and spices, the meat is minced — not shredded like in the traditional Tucumana. The pastry isn't super crispy, it's a bit breadier. I remember other empanadas being much juicier inside, almost brothy with a thickened sauce. Here there are olives too, which are banned from the real Tucumana. It's good, but I'm not sure it deserves 20th place, way above the ramen.
Empanada di Prosciutto e Formaggio
This one looks more like a panzerotto than an empanada. The pastry isn't crispy, it's a bit breadier. It's baked.
