The dining experience was one of the best I have ever had. I walked in without a reservation since it was a last minute decision to eat here because of the great reviews. I asked if they could seat me and my spouse, they were able to find us a table which I was grateful for. The restaurant space is amazing with a live tree growing on the back wall and plants everywhere. Lighting was good and the over atmosphere made the experience just that much more.
Our server was Lisa. She was so great! Friendly and knowledgeable to the menu. She provided the perfect amount of service. She was always there when needed, but never did I feel like she was hovering. My water was always filled and she inquired after each plate, how it was and how did we enjoy it.
We started with the Prosciutto from Parma Italy. It was presented like a flower with an amazing sauce at the bottom. It looked like a flower, to pretty to eat. Next was the in house made Italian Sausage. It was cooked to perfection with little pieces of chicharrones chips. After this was the octopus. This was mixed with a white sauce. The octopus was cooked to perfection and the sauce complimented it well. We had the Focaccia homemade bread as well. For Dinner we had Vincissgrassi which was individual lasagna rolled and topped with sauce and the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe which was a pasta with a simple sauce which was mixed by one of the staff in front of me. Both were amazing and just as good as any pasta I have eaten in Italy. For dessert we finished with a shared a cake with cream. The entire dinning experience was amazing and delicious.
After the meal we were invited to the kitchen to meet the chef! Chef Mateo is from Italy and he has a new vision for innovative Italian food that is more than pizza and red sauce. He explained his kitchen which has a cold station, hot station, a station with a kamado bbq and small grill, and an oven. There is a store attached that he took us to and talked to us about his culinary journey from Italy other countries to finally how he ended up in Mexico City. Another one of his partners came in and she introduced herself and talked about the space. If you want a great experience please eat here you will not be disappointed. I have traveled the world visiting more than 30 countries and this meal and experience is one of the best I have ever had!
