About Noche

For a first visit, build the meal around the confirmed fusion menu rather than expecting a classic red-sauce format.
Go for the Italian-Argentinian crossover, not a classic red-sauce dinner

Crossover is the point. Noche is not best framed as a purely traditional Italian restaurant; it is an Italian-Argentinian fusion bar and restaurant. That makes it better suited to diners who want a less standard dinner than those looking only for a restrained regional Italian meal.
