Some very good friends treated me to dinner at 50 Friends Pizza. This is one of those hidden gems usually only locals know about. This one is in front of the Lincoln Park, and has a great casual atmosphere, appropriate for small gatherings of friends or family. The front of the restaurant is open to the sidewalk so as you walk in there is seating along the front and then to the left going all the way back. The kitchen and bar is on the right-hand side. They had a menu for just the wines and alcoholic beverages, and another menu for food. They offer pizzas, pastas, salads and risottos. The pizzas are baked in a wood fire brick oven, and they offer all kinds of toppings: from the usual pepperoni and Italian sausage to European prosciutto and gorgonzola cheese, to asparagus and others such as I have only seen in places like São Paulo, Brazil. I tried 2 types of pizza off their specialty pizza menu, the Benjamin and the Pavarotti. I enjoyed both, though the Italian sausage was different than I had expected. The cream cheese or something also had a sweetness to it that I had not expected. Yet it was cooked well and was delicious. My friends and I were in the back two tables. Towards the end of our visit someone in the front was smoking, and some of the cigarette smoke reached us. Fortunately it didn't last long. However, as the father of a son who once suffered from asthma, that would've been an issue for us. I did not see the bathroom so I cannot comment on that. This restaurant is in a very nice location with several other restaurants nearby. I can imagine it would be very crowded on some nights - especially during the weekend. I understand they do offer takeout. I really enjoyed my visit and if you're in the mood for some really good pizza, this is your place.

Super cute and great brick oven pizza! The chef let our daughter watch the pizza making and even sent our table a bit of dough for her to play with and sample. The pizza was delicious and also came with three different oils to add on - garlic, olive and chili - to create the right flavor profile. Also they have a few options for Mexican wines to try. Yay for keeping it local!

I went and asked for a menu in English. They just said no. They told me to leave. Rude and disrespectful. Dont go here.

This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had…read more We visited during the Spain vs. France match last Tuesday. The service was already poor, but the real issue was far more serious: I was served a rotten steak. After the first bite, I immediately noticed it tasted awful. I smelled it to make sure, and the odor was unmistakably foul. We called the manager over, and what shocked me even more was that he admitted this was not the first time something like this had happened. About a day and a half later, I became so sick that I had to go to the emergency room because I couldn't even keep liquids down. It took me an entire week to recover. Serving spoiled food is completely unacceptable and puts customers' health at risk. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I did.

Don Asado en la Ciudad de México es un lugar agradable con un personal muy amable y servicial. La…read moreatención al cliente es excelente, siempre dispuestos a ayudar y a hacerte sentir bienvenido. La comida está bien, pero creo que le falta un poco más de sazón para resaltar los sabores. Con un poco más de atención en este aspecto, los platillos podrían ser realmente excepcionales. Además, el restaurante podría beneficiarse de un mejor sistema de enfriamiento, especialmente en los días calurosos, para que la experiencia sea más cómoda. En general, es un buen lugar con un gran potencial. Seguiré visitándolo, esperando ver algunas mejoras en la comida y la climatización.
