Sartoria

Michelin star… OK. I suppose when a restaurant has a Michelin star you have higher expectations often of which those expectations are never met. That probably doesn’t make sense gramatically, but you get the drift. And, don’t tell me that I can’t decant my wine! I will decant a two buck chuck if I want Moving onto the experience. I dined outside on a pleasant evening. The weird and uncomfortable thing about the location of some of the outside tables are they sit directly near the window, which is common, but what isn’t common is, there is a raised dining bar, which looks directly down upon those tables. A couple initially sat there, but they also realized the awkwardness of it and then moved. No one sat there during my dinner. There are maybe up to 20 seats outside, and 20-30 inside. A guess. The interior space is modern , clean with a barrel ceiling. Very nice. Service was OK, but what’s the deal about hoarding the decanters or do they only have one or two decanters. I ended prying one away from them, but it took a little effort. Now for the food. It was very good not great. Flavorful, nice preparation. I don’t know about one Michelin star good but who am I to judge. Food ordered: lasagne -339. Why 339? mallaoreddis de sémola al ragú- 347, heirloom salad - 315, croqueta de prosciutto-86 each, asparagus- 197 tiramisu- 185 (very good) and went for the cheap Nebbiolo - 1330. So an expensive evening. Was it worth it? Depends who you are with, and if no one is looking down at you while dining and if the one decanter is not on use. I would go back and dine again but may bring my own decanter. Decent pics below, and that’s all for now

Visited yesterday for a quick feed and were promptly seated. However, service was lacking as it did take the servers awhile to give us menus and to take our orders. Additionally, when we asked for more olive oil and vinegar for the bread, the server seemed to forget and we had to ask someone else instead. Maybe he was new? We also asked in Spanish as initially we thought it was a communication error, but after asking another server in Spanish, she still understood. As for the food, for a Michelin style restaurant, you’d expect the quality overall to be exceptional. My friend said her lasagne was good but the rest of our party found our spaghetti al pomodoro lacking. The pasta texture itself was not quite right. A little over done. Honestly, you could definitely find a better place to try.

Absolutely amazing food and drinks. Everything tasted fresh and refined. The flavor combinations made you want to chew with your eyes closed. Service was excellent as well. The octopus carpaccio was life changing.

Do they own the whole block? I think they own a few of the places in the block, the pizza place, the cafe, and this. It's a cute nook that feels intimate, perfect for a date. The food is exceptionally well done and the service impeccable.

Food was decent but nothing really amazed me. The service was horrendous. Took 30 minutes after being seated for the waiter to take our order. Asked to pay and the employee acknowledged but then we had to ask whom I believe was a manager for the check 25 minutes later. Once we got the check it took an additional 10 minutes for him to return to take payment.

We discovered Sartoria by chance while visiting Buna, the excellent coffee shop next door. Drawn in by its stylish and inviting atmosphere, we were intrigued to find that Sartoria is a Michelin-recommended restaurant (not starred, but included in the Michelin Guide). We returned the following evening for dinner, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable meals we had in Mexico City. Every aspect from the presentation and plating to the flavor and creativity was exceptional. The attention to detail in both the food and overall dining experience truly stood out. The only downside was the extended wait for our check at the end of the meal. While we understand that longer waits are typical in CDMX dining culture, our experience bordered on excessive, taking nearly an hour and a half to settle our bill. It became difficult to get a server’s attention, which was frustrating and unfortunately put a slight damper on an otherwise outstanding evening. That said, I highly recommend sitting outdoors if possible. The interior can get quite lively, and the outside seating offers a more relaxed vibe—plus the added charm of occasional performances from local street artists. Overall, Sartoria is a must-visit for anyone looking for an elevated culinary experience in CDMX.

Food is generally delicious. Their interpretation of the Italian dishes they serve don’t seem to make sense though. For example, the Panzanella on the menu is more of a tomato salad with pesto. And the ravioli is one humongous ravioli with a hat like brim. Cuttting and eating it is a bit messy. Also, the service can be fast at times but careless at the same time. The sparkling wine we ordered didn’t come out with the dish, so the dish was cooled down by the time the wine came. And the sparkling wine was like warm appearing to have sit out for a while before the pour. Really good price point so worth a try to see if you end up having a good experience overall.

Great Italian spot. Risotto was seasoned and cooked beautifully. We were celebrating a birthday and received a complimentary dessert with candle. Overall amazing value.

Not only is the ambiance beautiful, romantic, and perfectly lit, but the service was 10/10. I was immediately seated and taken care of, the staff was so friendly and accommodated all of my requests. Even when I was leaving and waiting for my Uber, one of the waiters noticed I was standing around outside and offered to call a taxi on my behalf. The food The beet salad was refreshing, presented in a gorgeous fashion, and a perfect mix of sweet and savory. While I felt it could've had a bit more cheese, it was still a great balance and starter to my main course. The pasta was fresh, creamy, with a hint of smokiness from the pepper. Highly recommend if you're trying to sneak away from Mexican food while in CDMX.

This restaurant is not recommended due to high price, low quality food and poor customer service. The space is very small and the service is poor. DO NOT GO THERE. It is a waste of time. THERE ARE MORE AND FAR BETTER RESTAURANT IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD. The manager does not know how to run the business.

Food took well over an hour staff and manager were unfriendly. We wasted about an hour and a half waiting for food. Would not recommend this place

Little chic restaurant for cozy tasty dinner. They have outside seating which is also charming. We ordered 1. Tomato salad - beautiful presentation and tomatoes are very sweet. Made us happy 2. Cream pasta - a bit too heavy 3. Ink pasta- beautiful presentation but tasted slightly off. 4. Tiramisu - amazing! Overall we really enjoyed this restaurant. We will go back again.

You owe it to yourself to plan a meal here. This was by far our favorite meal we had during our time in CDMX. We started things off with the olives, the Pear Salad and the Panzanella. The olives were a perfect starter. The Pear Salad was unique but was dressed well and had pops of flavor. The Panzanella was tasty and had a very nice broth aspect to it. However, the star of the show was the pasta. Perfect bite, perfect consistency, beautiful sauces. We tried the tortelli and the tagliolini. The tortelli was bursting with flavor and was so creamy in the middle. The Tagliolini was reminiscent of some of the finest pasta we had in Italy. A simple sauce with butter, loads of truffle flavor and handmade pasta. Perfection. We ended with the Warm Brownie which was also amazing. Fudgey, chocolatey, just amazing.

La mejor experiencia culinaria que e tenido ! This is by far the best culinary experience I've had in Mexico City , as someone native to the country we have some of the best gastronomy and cuisine but this place blew me away with Italian cuisine and the fact that the noddles are made from scratch and the customer service was fantastic they greeted us right away cleaned our table and checked on us frequently it was 10/10 for me

Honestly some of the best pasta I have ever had and I have traveled. They made a small mistake and I was left with gnocchi covered in truffles. No complaints here. We are it a d our own choices lol. It was a mistake with benefits. We had a nice bottle of red. Great experiences.

Amazing Italian food in Mexico City! I'm not sure why there's only 3.5 stars but I rank it 5/5. I used to live in nyc so I know good Italian when I see/eat it. The ambiance and service is great too!

I think I originally found Sartoria on Conde Nast Traveler, and I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was a bit overrated (probably should have anticipated this with how easy it was to make and adjust reservations...). While it was a good mix to all of the tacos we had been eating throughout or trip, with so many options in Mexico City, I would try something else. Service was nice though. The squid ink pasta (tagliolini nero) was super over salted--tasted like mostly salt. In addition, the cacio y peppe was almost under done--the texture seemed off. Tortelli ricotta was just ok. Three pastas, two salads and two bottles of water came out to about 1600 MXN ($85USD).

Sartoria has delicious pasta! The dishes are creative and the pasta is definitely worth the hype. If you're craving Italian, then definitely come here.

We loved the room, the staff was lovely and efficient... but the food. Oh my goodness. I'm not easily impressed, and I don't usually bother with reviews. I realized when they brought my entree that I'd been watching the chef stuff my raviolis while I ate my (incredible) appetizer. So delicious. Everything so fresh and such great flavors. Really amazing, and even though we ate three courses, I didn't feel stuffed, just happy when we were finished. Highly recommend.

Terrible service. Cancelled a NYE reservation that had been made several weeks ago just a couple days before because they "decided last minute" to close early. Our reservation was for 1 hour before the new closing time but they still refused to honor the reservation or reschedule us for a reasonable alternative. They offered us 3:00 or 4:00 o clock for NYE dinner. Very disappointing way to treat paying customers. Do NOT trust this establishment.

Nothing was bad and one dish was very good. My girlfriend has food allergies and navigating the menu was very challenging, and the kitchen couldn't offer us a simple plate of lettuce for her. That would have been enough to make us happy. The focaccia was average and served in a strange box at the bottom, I guess because they thought this was cool. It was sets hard to get to and pointless. In general there were some high points but a lot of style of substance. Personal pet peeve, the beautiful barrel vault ceiling is oddly lit with led lights the color of fluorescent lights. It would be so much more inviting if the lighting was warm (2700K) which would match the rest of the lighting. The harsh white light felt very out of place against the other lights and especially the table candles. The ambiance would be much bigger with such a simple change.

Very rude staff. The food was OK. The pasta was too salty. The service was poor - they rudely rushed us to order as soon we sat down. The service got worse throughout the meal. We had to flag down servers multiple times for assistance. We asked for the dessert menu twice and no one brought it. When we let a server know, she said she would adjust the bill but the manager declined to do so. We were ignored multiple times once we tried to pay. Personal muy grosero. La comida estaba bien. La pasta estaba demasiado salada. El servicio fue deficiente: nos apresuraron groseramente a ordenar tan pronto como nos sentamos. El servicio empeoró durante la comida. Tuvimos que marcar servidores varias veces para obtener ayuda. Pedimos dos veces la carta de postres y nadie nos la trajo. Cuando le informamos a un servidor, ella dijo que ajustaría la factura, pero el gerente se negó a hacerlo. Fuimos ignorados varias veces una vez que intentamos pagar.

One of the best meals we had in cdmx. Excellent service and perfectly executed/portioned dishes- highlights were the octopus salad, cacio e pepe, risotto...and last but far from least: dessert (don't miss out!). Will visit next time in town.

Everything about Sartoria was top notch: from the friendly staff, to the interior design, to the menu and food quality. We are already talking about visiting again. A big shout out goes to our waitress, Charon (sp?), who worked hard to make sure we felt welcome and comfortable while also entertaining my attempt at speaking Spanish while ordering. The food was delicious and some of the best Italian I've had (and I love Italian food). If you're in the area, definitely try Sartoria. You won't be disappointed.

Sartoria might have had the best pasta I've ever had. Do not miss this gorgeous restaurant and its carefully crafted dishes.

This place is AWESOME. Wife has been here like 4 times, and me twice...we hit it on every trip to CDMX. Great space, full bar and coffee shop, and EXCELLENT pasta. Get the rye pappardelle and eggplant strudel appetizer.

I truly hate to give mediocre reviews but this night was not good at all. I think the main complaint besides the food was the staff was not attentive at all. First, as a vegan I always ask if the chef can make something vegan and when asked the waiter said NO! Come on Italian food is made to be vegan! Then we were never asked if we wanted a cocktail ( had to ask for it) and then told the whole order had to be placed at once. So the croquete de prosciutto and panzanella came out prior to the cocktail and the main courses came out soon thereafter. The croquete was very cheesy but lacked prosciutto. Panzanello was a couple of tomatoes with two croutons and not very tasty. Cacio de pepe was good but not special, tagliolini de sepia was very salty and the risotto de mar had Arborio that was perfectly cooked but the fish was over cooked. Desert was a chocolate tart that was just ok. I guess "pretentious" is the way I would describe this restaurant. There is potential but staff needs to be trained to accommodate guests as we are there for them, not vice versa. Also, 11% of our population is vegan so to not have one vegan dish on the menu or create one is unforgivable.

Reservé mesa y me dijeron que era "counter", en visitas previas, jamás vi que tuvieran una barra, pero dado el alto estándar que siempre han manejado mi expectativa era que aunque fuera barra, la experiencia sería excelente, como siempre Al llegar vi con gran decepción que me querían sentar en la barra que anteriormente usaban para servicio pegada a la ventana. Me ofrecieron los puestos al lado de la pared, si queriamos pararnos incomodabamos a los comensales de la mesa de atrás Y al estar sentado la vista era la Cara de los comensales de la mesa de enfrente que está afuera. Sin mencionar que había como una cubiera de metal que creo que era instalación eléctrica y permisos de la delegación mal pegados en la pared. Le solicitamos amablemente al host que si podia darnos una mesa dado que la barra no era adecuada para comer, y su respuesta fue que podiamos esperar pero no tenian ningún ETA, y que no era culpa de Sartoria que la experiencia de reservación fuera mala (open table es un app que se alimenta con la info que el restaurante da). Que mal que estén destruyendo la calidad de la experiencia del comensal para maximizar ingresos. Por cierto otras dos parejas se fueron cuando estaba esperando por la misma situación

Everything was fantastic - gorgeous restaurant, attentive service, and simple yet delicious pastas. Even the cheese with balsamic and honey was amazing. Highly recommend!

One word: yum! We came to celebrate our late honeymoon and were immediately treated to a celebratory glass of Prosecco. Our waiter was incredibly passionate about the menu and recommend the best dishes. The octopus salad is a must have!! We have never tasted more perfectly prepared octopus before. Braised short ribs is another dish to not miss!

Wow! This food was incredible. I know most people don't visit Mexico City for Italian food but this meal was well worth the visit. We ordered the gnocco frito, the pasta omakase and the short ribs. Everything was delicious. The omakase was really cool because I got to sample 3 types of fresh pasta at the chef's discretion. Additionally I mentioned to the manager that we were celebrating our engagement and he gave us a delicious coffee and cream dessert as well as few drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The authority in everything Italian, especially pasta in CDMX is found only Sartoria. Besides a mouthwatering experience, service is topnotch, warm, welcoming and down to earth! Gerardo our server was so kind, efficient and attentive. Alejandro, one of the co-owners, is so generous and inviting. He impressed my whole party with his sweet demeanor. This is place is a must visit! Tell Alejandro, I sent you! Manga!

Very good but not the best pasta I had. The place is beautiful and the service is perfect. Their menu has lots of options and I love that they offer pasta omasake (3, 4 or 5 dishes). Unfortunately the pasta were not as delicious as I hoped. Don't get me wrong, it was good and enjoyable but not exceptional.

Absolutely one of the best meals I have had in my life. I did not expect such amazing Italian cuisine in México city. Compliments to the chef and owner? Complex beautiful flavors with the best ingredients.

Food was excellent, but the service was terrible. I felt so unwelcome from the start. They had plenty of tables but wouldn't seat me unless I had a reservation. I went online and got an instant reservation. The tables stayed open the whole time. After they took my order they didn't come by once. I wanted to order more but no one came to my table. I would still recommend this restaurant for the food but don't expect the same level of service that the restaurants nearby provide.

Much like the design of the interior, the food has pretensions to greatness but ultimately fails miserably. The curved ceiling of the dining room looks cool, but as soon as you sit down you realize how flawed it is... like sitting in an echo chamber! Incredibly loud and it focuses voices from across the restaurant right into your ears. It's nearly impossible to talk on a busy night. If you really want to eat here, sit outside so you don't go crazy from the noise. As far as the food, the menu talks a good game but the actual dishes are mediocre at best. We tried some of the favorites like the tamale, fried gnocchi, chiatara spaghetti and langosta pasta. I was excited when the gnocchi came out, looked like something from Bazaar in Los Angeles, but turned out to be just pieces of bread with a little cheese and ham.. bland and boring. Tamale was equally bland, a total missed opportunity to do something exciting. Pastas were totally blah as well. The chitara tasted off, the spaghetti was so over-cooked as to be gelatin like... I'm a big eater and I wouldn't even finish this dish because it was so disappointing. I had to really concentrate to taste the langosta in the pasta of my date. And the heavy tomato base with pine nuts just isn't a good combination. All in all a huge let down.. I don't really understand.. they have cookbooks from Noma and Gjellina sitting on their bar, a couple of the best restaurants in the world. So if you know what good food is how can you let something so mediocre come out of the kitchen? At least the desert was good, a salted caramel ice cream over a sweet cinnamon cake.

Wow I can't believe this wonderful place wasn't on yelp yet. Not to mention the beautiful interior design, the place is seriously so amazingly delicious. Everything has a nice Mexican twist to it without sacrificing the authenticity and originality of Italian cuisine. This is what we had: - Bread and olive oil: bread was fresh, my favorite was the whole wheat with cranberry. The olive oil was very flavorful - Stracciatella artesanal del estado de méxico: one of the best stracciatella I've had - Es tamal o está mal?: Highly recommend! Super unique and it just completely melts in your mouth and exploded with flavor - Crudo que quiere ser un ceviche: fish was super fresh and light - Spaghetti a la chitarra "cacio e pepe": the spaghetti, lovely and homey, highly recommend - Risotto de arroz acquerello. shiitake- well prepared - tiramisu: I was okay with it. It's not a traditional tiramisu so they didn't use lady fingers wasn't espresso enough for me but the chocolate ice cream that came with was very rich, great with my macchiato The service was very nice. We sat outside and though it was nice, unless you don't mind having four people pass by and ask you for change during the meal, sitting inside might be a better option.

I left this review on Opentable but have to leave it hear as well. This place is amazing.... We have been back in NYC from our Mexico City vacation for 2 weeks and I am still thinking about our evening at Sartoria. The food was AMAZING, and the service was beyond exceptional. We went mid week and had a lovely meal. The restaurant was busy but not overly, which is exactly what we needed after a very long day. We started with the Ceviche/Crudo and the Tamale. The ceviche was great, but the tamale was the best thing I've eaten this year, and its the dish I think about most when I think of Satoria. We then had the Cacio e Pepe Pasta and the Pesto Past, both were amazing. The Cacio e Pepe was my favorite because I was craving something rich that went well with an intense bottle of red. We also had the Tiramasu which was an interesting take on the traditional and very good. The service was truly exceptional. Maybe it's because they weren't slammed, but we received very attentive service. Looking forward to going again next time we are in Mexico City.

This place is cute, but very small so make reservations ahead of time. The food was ok, the green ravioli dish was by far the best of the three dishes we tried. I wouldn't recommend the gnocchi dish even though this seemed to be highly recommended by others. The sauce was bland and left me wishing I'd ordered something else. Service and ambiance were great and this place is not too expensive though higher in price than most restaurants nearby.

If you are from any major city you should avoid this restaurant purely based on attitude and service. For the same prices you can visit Contramar or any of top restaurants in this city. The pasta is good but nothing so memorable that pouring your own wine and arguing over silly things such as being charged for water you did not order, would make it worthwhile.

Sartoria was amazing and I am still dreaming about the delicious pasta we had! The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous as well and made for the perfect date night spot!

Very bad apathetic service. We sat at the table for 20 minutes before anyone came up to us. I asked for a glass of wine three times. Then another 20 minutes after we ordered the hostess asked us what we ordered because our server forgot. All of this could have been forgiven if the food was outstanding. However the food was very bland and overpriced. Definitely skip this place.

Mucho ruido y pocas nueces! Nice environment, the restaurant is very nice, but i was not impressed about the food at all. Octopus carpaccio was interesting and fresh but we had the Ragú Ñoquis and they were tasteless and the texture was like from the supermarket ones. Caccio Pepe spaghettis was nice but I was expecting great for everything. Disappointed.
