“ Small Italian restaurant in Polanco. Cozy place with only a few tables inside and in the outside patio. They have a menu but manage a lot of daily specials. Shared a burrata with ham, tomatoes and figs on a bed of salad with drops of balsamic winegar. As a main course i had rigatoni with wild pig ragout. It was served al dente and it was delicious. We accompanied our dinner with a bottle of red wine, which nicely matched with our meal. To wrap it up we shared tiramisù - good not great. Very friendly staff. I would definitely go back when I'm in the mood for a plate of pasta. ”
“ Amazing Italian food. I recommend the spaghetti vongole. ”
“ Nonpretentious place. Small, just a few tables. Food was good. Service is attentive, except for a couple of waiters who are too serious/somewhat rude. Best to reserve if you don't want to wait standing in the street. No parking. ”
“ Phenomenal restaurant! Our last dinner in CDMX and our favorite. We started with a glass of the Corte Chardonnay, which was lovely. We had the Tres Variedades de quesos for an appetizer. The softest of the cheeses, which I cannot recall the name of, was out of this world! For entrees, we chose the Gnocchis a la sorrentina and the Risotto azafran con ossobuco de temera. Both were incredibly delicious. I could have had a double portion of the gnocchi dish. The risotto dish was a great contrast to the gnocchi (we share every plate) and was my wife’s first time having marrow. Overall, we were very pleased with the service, and the food was unquestionably good. ”
