I came here yeaterday for lunch after a long and arduous search for an Italian restaurant. I have…read moreto tell you that it wasn't such an easy process. The majority of Italian restaurants are located in a different colonia outside of Centro Historico. I thought that the service was fairly adequate, and it was pretty tylical from my experiences in the city. I ordered the simple spaghetti bolognesa which is one of my trusted Italiam dishes. This did take a little time for them to orelare, and the reataurant wasn't that busy, but when they did bring it to my table, I was more than dying of hunger. I thought it tasted pretty good, however the bolognesa sauce was somewhat watery. Still the sauce was exceptional in my opinion. Everything else about the reataurant was great and the inside was modern and clean.

After about a mile walking of not knowing where to eat, my friend and I decided to dine here as it…read morewas close to our Airbnb. And it was pretty good pizza. I got one of their specialties. I forgot the name, but it had the words "blood" and "opera" in it. It was basically a breakfast pizza with scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and maple syrup. I ordered it as a "monster slice" which is basically a personal pizza. It was really filling, though I also ordered buffalo cauliflower and are a lot of that. I would say it's good pizza to get if you need to sober up. Speaking of which, I ordered a sangria and it was more like a lemonade. Still yummy and the acidity helped with the heaviness of the pizza. If you're dining here at night, be prepared to dine in the dark. There's not much lighting. And it's very loud! They played rock music, so if that's your vibe then you're gonna like this place. And service was good. They may be short staffed as it took awhile to flag someone down to get the check. I would come back here if I was craving pizza.

The food…read morewas just okay - we got the Argentinian Chorizo pizza and two kinds of empanadas (meat and ham/cheese). The ham empanadas were too heavy on the cheese and slightly cold on the inside. The pizza was solid, especially the crust. Given how much good food there is in CDMX I think this is missable unless you need a late night spot in a pinch.

Other than great ambiance and service, I can't say I was too impressed with the food itself. It definitely satisfied our Italian food cravings, but it probably isn't the best you can find in CDMX. I think it's a little overhyped and I honestly probably wouldn't go back before trying other places to see how they compare. If you want to try this spot, I'd say go for the pizza and skip the pasta. The crust has a nice texture and the chili oil sauce was incredible!

As far as food goes--this place was great. Con--the service staff was kind but lingered near our table for basically the entire dinner. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we went so maybe they were looking for things to do but it made our experience really uncomfortable. At multiple points throughout the dinner, I could've reached out and held hands with staff members hanging near our table with eyes locked on us while we tried to enjoy dinner with our kids. I'm not sure if this is a directive from management; but it was overbearing and made us uncomfortable. It went beyond the type of attentive service that might be a positive--it made our experience worse despite the food being really good. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but I do think it's important to note, especially given that many other restaurants in CDMX have almost the opposite attitude where they leave you alone until you flag them down. This was the pendulum swinging too far the other direction.

We got an Uber to come over here, and we were delighted to see so many different Italian pizzas that they offered. I had heard of spaghetti bolognesa, but never in my life heard of bolognesa pizza. It must be an Italian thing because this restaurant has it. We were seated at one of the two sidewalk tables, and proceeded to order the regular bolognesa pizza. The menu indicated that it included their special tomato sauce, cheese, bolognesa sauce,,and onions. To me that sounded like a great combination. I'm happy to report that this restaurant does add the right amount of sauce, and you don't even need ketchup! It was a good portion,and we finished off most of the pizza. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I was captivated by the warm, eclectic ambiance--shelves stacked with old books, cozy little crannies, and fascinating antique items tucked into every corner. It felt like stepping into a hidden gem where every detail added to the charm. I ordered the As de Corazones, a gin-based cocktail with raspberry, egg white foam, and a spritz finish. It was hands-down the best cocktail I had in CDMX--beautifully balanced, slightly tart, and perfectly smooth. I also tried the Josita, which was incredibly refreshing (and deceptively strong!), making it the perfect drink to sip on while soaking in the atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive, with bartenders who clearly know their craft. Whether you're a cocktail lover or just looking for a great spot to unwind, Pata Negra is a must-visit. (I even went back as a goodbye to CDMX on my last night)

They had a few TVs with some sports on which is why we chose this place. Service was friendly, and quick to take your initial order but after that it was kinda hard to order a second or third drink you really had to flag them down. We came back on a second visit and they were out of some of the beers we ordered the previous visit. On the plus side the beers were ice cold. Much colder than out of the refrigerator which made it so easy to drink.
