Wine and pasta are a match made in heaven. The right pairing enhances flavors, balances textures, and transforms an ordinary meal into an unforgettable dining experience. At Amici Trattoria Italo-Argentina in Miramar, we take pride not only in serving authentic Italian pasta but also in guiding our guests to the perfect wine to accompany their dish.
Why Wine Pairing Matters
Food and wine are like dance partners: when they move together in harmony, the experience becomes magical. A robust red can highlight the richness of a ragù, while a crisp white cuts through the creaminess of a buttery sauce. Pairing correctly is not about strict rules; it’s about balance, contrast, and complementing flavors.
Classic Italian Pairings You Should Try
Spaghetti Carbonara with Pinot Grigio
Carbonara is creamy, salty, and rich. A crisp Pinot Grigio offers the acidity needed to refresh the palate, creating a perfect balance between indulgence and lightness.
Lasagna al Forno with Chianti Classico
This hearty, baked dish with layers of beef ragù and béchamel calls for an equally bold partner. Chianti’s tannins cut through the richness, while its fruity notes elevate the tomato sauce.
Lobster Ravioli with Chardonnay
Seafood pasta pairs beautifully with a buttery white wine. A lightly oaked Chardonnay enhances the saffron cream sauce without overwhelming the delicate lobster.
Pappardelle Bolognese with Malbec
Here’s where our Argentine influence shines. A bold Malbec complements the deep, slow-cooked meat sauce with earthy notes and a hint of spice.
General Tips for Choosing Wine with Pasta
- Match the intensity of the sauce with the body of the wine.
- Tomato-based sauces pair best with medium-bodied reds.
- Creamy dishes need crisp whites or sparkling options.
- Seafood pastas shine with light, mineral-driven whites.
- Rich meat sauces deserve full-bodied reds.

More Than Wine: Cocktails & Spirits
While wine remains the star, our drinks menu also includes refreshing cocktails and classic aperitifs.
