The 38 Essential Mexico City Restaurants

"Inspired by classic trattorias, Darosa offers rustic Italian flavors in a petite, down-to-earth restaurant in the Juarez neighborhood. The menu winds through cacio e pepe suppli, ricotta with spinach gnudi, and an endive, chive, and pecan salad before hitting its stride at pasta. Order the rigatoni with beef ragu, the tagliolini a la puttanesca, and the house lasagna. Portions are on the small side, so order a couple of entrees and appetizers for a complete meal. Leave enough room for the hazelnut tiramisu and classic cannoli too." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza
