We were in Roma Norte awaiting friends for dinner when we decided to drop into Cafe Toscano to kill time over drinks (and dessert). Cafe Toscano has locations in Lomas, Polanco, Condesa, and of course, Roma Norte. The patio at this location is what attracted us. Streetside patio that faces a small park - it was a perfect spot for a few Aperol Spritzers and a slice of cheesecake. 9The cheesecake was more like panna cotta, which I didn't mind.) The menu is made up of sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, and salads. read more

A+ vibes but lacking in food quality. On the hunt for dinner in the Roma neighborhood, there is no shortage of patio presence these days - but Cafe Toscano won over us because of the corner location and cozy but sultry ambiance. From the countless wine bottles lining the walls, quirky art, and plush couches, we felt this place was ready to deliver some serious eats. Cafe Toscano specializes in Italian cuisine. The English menu is located on a Google Drive document which can be accessed via QR code. We selected drinks and decided on a few plates to share, making some quick changes when we found out the charcuterie board was not available. We indulged in every juice type they had - including the Lassi (tasted good, but strangely similar to Danimals smoothie drinks). Drinks are good, but comparable to what you would get from any other cafe/bar in the area. The food was incredibly disappointing. The Ravioli was too doughy and cold, while the Eggplant Parmesana had no flavor at all despite the expert breading. The Tuna Steaks were way too salty but the accompanying green beans were more than palatable. The Margherita Pizza's ratio was a little off with a lot more cheese and not much sauce or tomatoes, but at least the crust was good. As with any slightly upscale place in a touristy neighborhood, service was excellent. Might come back for a cup of coffee or glass of wine outside, but certainly not for the main food. Lessons learned - don't let your heart fool your palate - when in Mexico, the grittier the place the tastier the food! read more

A very pleasant surprise. We well into Café Toscano for lunch after finding that a boutique we were looking for was closed for a holiday. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and we were seated after a very short wait. Our outdoor table faced a wonderful little park. The wait staff spoke perfect English, and we were soon served tasty enchiladas and bowls. All of the food was very well done, flavorful without frying your mouth, and we all had an enjoyable experience. The price of lunch, by New York standards, was a pittance, with the exception of the bottled water. Highly recommend! read more

Super cute little cafe! We sat outside right next to the park. We got the molletes and a croissant relleno (like a sandwich) The mollete is like a pizza with refried beans instead of sauce and comes with diced tomato. The two of us got two plates and a coffee each and the total was $16USD read more

Went to Cafe Toscano for breakfast with a friend after walking by it several times during our trip. We were able to be seated at a table outside overlooking the park, which made for a nice meal. To start, we went with the corn muffin with strawberry jam and a cinnamon roll--both of which were decent, but not the best we had in the city. We split an order of the french toast and chilaquiles. The chilaquiles were decent, but the french toast was the real winner here--great flavor and very tasty. Overall, this is an excellent spot for breakfast not only for the food, but for the view overlooking the beautiful park. read more

Poor service... Food is average at best - keep walking. There are some amazing restaurants right around the corner!

Los chilaquiles !!!! la salsa verde es el mejor que tuve en la ciudad! Y esta alado del parque! para comer solito o con amigos!

Great spot, very good breakfast, nice menu. Pleasant seating with good service. Fresh baked goods, fresh juices. read more

This place has very slow service. I was seated quickly. My coffee and juice came at a good time but my meal is taking extremely long. I'm believe it's been 40 min of me waiting and since then no waiters have come to check in. I'm still waiting for my breakfast. I would not recommend. Update: waitress had never put my order in! Then she tried to blame in on me that she didn't hear me when we had a whole dialogue about the different egg preparation avaialble. Please! Take responsibility. I left. Again I will not recommend. read more

Words cannot describe what a terrible experience I had at this cafe. I ordered a fresh puréed juice of guava, orange, pineapple, and mint. The juice tasted like an ordinary orange juice blended with espazote, without any tropical notes or mint detectable. So naturally I went to the bar to watch the drink making in person, request remediation, and offer suggestions. The battle to get a decent sprig of mint in a drink that was supposed to have mint was crazy, and a quick addition of a wedge of guava did the trick. I saw a procession of beautiful dishes, all cradled in consuelas, that looked flavor packed and expertly prepared. The first egg dish on the menu, which I ordered, stood out as an unappetizing plating of individualist components, a deconstructionist interpretation of British style eggs in the shell, dried melba toast instead of fresh corn tortillas, and a kindling of overcooked cold asparagus, as though a London chef from the 80s were transported into the Mexican establishment to mess with my meal. I sent that back to get a tempting dish another diner was enjoying. The other dishes around me looked flavor packed and expertly crafted. Instead of the dish I had observed, they brought me a bowl of cooking water with uncooked beans and a flavorless mess of submerged eggs. I could only surmise I was receiving a discriminatory experience because I was an American lawyer in receipt of an important message directed at my government. Perhaps I was to infer there were a flood of people of color requesting equitable treatment from my government, and that diplomatic huevos were required to keep the people of Mexico afloat to avoid some immigrastory quagmire? I left with food for thought, if not for digestion. read more

I had early lunch here today, the food was good. Our waiter, Juan, was excellent. Very attentive and well mannered. The reason I am giving this place 2 stars is because of the manager during our visit. She was extremely rude and condescending, making my mother and I uncomfortable multiple times throughout our visit. I would've enjoy the experience more had these interactions not occurred. FYI; I'm Mexican and these interactions were all in Spanish. read more

This place was as good or better than the other reviews. I thought the other reviews were fake. The music and atmosphere was great. It didn't cost much and we loved the chilaquiles and concha. Especially the concha. I didn't make it back the morning before my flight but I wish I had. Coming back eventually. read more

Very cute brunch place! Ordered pancakes and enchiladas. Wish the enchiladas were a bigger serving but overall food was delicious and the pancakes- amazing with blueberries inside. read more

This place is very casual and cozy. Came here for a light snack and hot chocolate. I'm lactose intolerant and the great thing is they have options lactose free milk and soy. I got the lactose milk and it was the best hot chocolate ever. Got a couple of sweet breads and it was all delicious! Will recommend anyone to try! Also had breakfast the next day I got the ham and eggs, it was pretty delicious! read more

Loved this place, good service, the place has a warm and cozy atmosphere. I didn't have any food but their coffee was right in point.

With a nice and modern decor, this inviting restaurant is a great place for a casual meal. We had a Sunday brunch there and enjoyed our chilaquiles with mimosas and coffee. It is located in a up and coming/hipstery part of Mexico City called Roma Norte. read more

Deli! Beautiful brunch place with a traditional Mexican menu. The ambiance was also lovely because random musicians would play for the clients. The waiters were very attentive and friendly! Definitely a must! You can also enjoy a walk around the beautiful fountain before or after food! read more

A slightly "hipper" version of many of the cafes in the area. Omelettes feel a bit overpriced at $125, but they do come with some nice crusty bread. Illy coffee is nice. Service was efficient. read more

Café Toscano is a restaurant overlooking Plaza Luis Cabrera in Roma Norte. The breakfast options are all delicious. I tried several different omelettes and pastries while staying in the neighborhood for a week - all of them were excellent. The cafe serves Illy brand coffee which was also very good. Service was always friendly and attentive. Overall a very good experience on each visit. read more

Great coffee, cute space and a wonderful pumpkin squash blossom omelette for breakfast.

Meh. Great location, terrible pizza, piss pour service. Way better options for quality food. The space is beautiful.

Had an Americano yesterday and dos cervezas tonight in this hip cafe right across the park. I like the neighborhood feel of this place.

Very cute location right next to the park, but food was kind of bland (I had the eggs on tostada with beans and ham)

Fantastic little cafe nice vibe and aesthetic and the eggs are great as are they espressos
