BARTOLA

Some of the best food i’ve had in mexico city and the best chicken parm i’ve ever had hands down (I’m from chicago). The chicken parm is big and cooked to absolute perfection……flavor and spice is amazing. Will definitely be a cdmx staple for me going forward. Dinner menu is from 1PM and on. Service is great and food comes out fast, but if you go during peak times it is recommended you have a reservation

One of the best meals we’ve had in Mexico City. Bartola in Roma Norte hits that perfect balance of cool and welcoming—chic, sexy, and contemporary without ever feeling pretentious. The crowd skews young, mostly people in their early to mid 20s, but there’s a good mix overall. The penne with burrata was perfectly cooked and full of rich, comforting flavor, and the chicken Milanese could easily feed three people. We ended with an incredible tiramisu, light yet indulgent. My mezcal tonic was balanced and smoky, and her Aperol spritz was crisp and generous. The music was upbeat and fun, matching the lively, stylish energy of the space. Prices are more than fair for the quality and huge portion sizes. Definitely coming back here. My new favorite restaurant in Mexico City.

I don’t leave negative reviews very often, but my experience here was disappointing from start to finish. For a restaurant that charges these kinds of prices, the quality and execution should be far better. I ordered the sandwich of the week, and what I received was nowhere near what the waiter described. He told me that it’s a chicken parm sandwich and it would come with cheese and vodka a sauce with the chicken, I would’ve think that they could’ve been a bit more original than using ingredients they already have under their hand to make a sandwich. Upon my food arriving instead of having what the waiter described, it arrived without cheese, without vodka sauce, and covered in a simple pomodoro sauce that anybody could make at home, the chicken was lightly seasoned not enough in my opinion. A chicken parm without cheese is honestly absurd. I had to call both the waiter and the bartender to come add cheese to the dish after it was served. To make things worse, the portion size was ridiculously small, especially considering the price. What really makes no sense is that the full chicken parm (500g) costs less than the sandwich which has a smaller portion. The pricing structure is incomprehensible and feels unjustified. The Caesar salad that came with the sandwich was actually good — probably the only positive note of the meal. Unfortunately, the biggest issue for me was the lack of cleanliness. The restaurant itself wasn’t clean, and the bathroom was in noticeable poor condition. I even saw insects walking and flying around the bar, which is completely unacceptable in any dining establishment (you can check the video). They clearly need proper pest control and overall better hygiene standards. As for the service, it wasn’t the worst, but definitely not good. The staff wasn’t friendly, and there seems to be a clear lack of knowledge about the menu, given the inaccurate description of my dish. I genuinely wish I hadn’t trusted the TikTok recommendations that led me here. I do not recommend this restaurant, especially considering that cleanliness is my number one priority when choosing where to eat — and this place failed that completely.

I came with my expectations high, so i was disappointed. I ordered the fried artichoke , and personally didn't like it, was packed with cheese on top like most of the dishes. The Vodka pasta was a good average pasta . The chocolate mousse had a thicker texture , again not bad just average . The service was ok and attentive when needed. Nothing memorable i'd say , but they are still fairly new so.

Beautiful space and vibe, really kind service, one of the best cesar salads I’ve ever had and really good vodka penne. Definitely come here if you’re looking for comfort delicious italian.

We went for dinner at this place with a group of friends and we had a really good time. The music was really good, the vibe of the restaurant also felt really fun for a friday night. All food we ordered was amazing, don’t miss the viral chicken parm.

Had a great dinner tonight! Daniel gave us good service! Delicious food and nice atmosphere - ordered the calamari, Caesar salad, cacio e Pepe rigatoni, and the famous chicken parm! Tasty and fresh! Great Italian spot in CDMX. Would come back again to try different items!

Food was really good, one of my favorite meals in Mexico City. Service was ok! I am vegetarian, they have a couple dishes that I was able to choose from.
