Galea

The Best Date Night Restaurants In Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Galea is quietly stunning, without even trying. Although the frutti di mare panzerotti are incredible, as is the rest of the Italian-ish menu, it’s not packed (yet), so you might just snag a quiet table just walking in most of the time. The space feels airy and uncluttered with wooden benches and plants all over, making it the perfect setting for a well-executed, no-pressure dinner. And if things don’t go as planned, your credit card won’t be feeling the burn either." - guillaume guevara

Galea - Review - Roma - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"This cozy corner spot is run by two NYC-trained chefs who blend young energy in the kitchen with Italian-Mediterranean flavors on a menu that changes often. Rafa, the kitchen mastermind, serves up a decadent duck cappellacci with creamy eggplant purée that’s worth your time. And Michelle, the pastry mastermind, makes some of the best desserts in the city—her torta al formaggio with roasted marshmallow and salty caramel is a rich and sticky delight. They often take walk-ins, but it’s better to arrive with a reservation. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Guillaume Guevara

"This corner charmer boasts a terrace out front, while inside, the use of wood keeps things firmly planted between the old and new worlds. There is an amiable, casual vibe to Galea, and with prices that don't break the bank, it's a favorite among locals.The focused Italian menu is concise but manages to present a varied selection all the same. Be sure to check the dishes of the day (and note the crudo specials, too) and always order a pasta. In fact, all of the pasta dishes can be made as half portions if you're tempted to try more than one. Focaccia made in-house starts things off, then a plate of gnochetti with ragu de mariscos feeds the soul. Fish of the day in a creamy beurre blanc is a hit, but save room for the panna cotta, given a bit of a Mexican slant here." - Michelin Inspector
