Cancino Alameda — Restaurant in Mexico City

Great taste, Good and Fast Service, Fair Prices.

Place was packed, so knowing the way CDMX operates I expected to have slow service, however it was very fast, didn't have to wait for drinks for more than a minute.

The entrée was parmeggiano spheres, they took no more than 5 minutes to be on the table after ordering, they were fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked, the Chipotle dip brings a nice and to some a very spicy kick. You can ask for arugula sauce if you don't want spicy.

Main dish was pizza arrabiata, it took no more than 15 minutes to be on the table after I ordered, dough was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients were fresh and savory. One of the very few places were you can taste great Italian-style pizza in CDMX (that closes late).

Dessert was organic cocoa cake. Oh. MY. GOD. It was incredible, it looked velvety, it had a dense consistency but it literally melts in your mouth, and it doesn't leave a greasy sensation at all. It was accompanied by a carajillo that really coalesced with it.

Overall it was a great experience and I'll use it as my go-to date venue...

If I would rate this place 10 stars out of 5, I would. It was absolutely fantastic. I'll call it the taste of European in Mexico City.

The food was fantastic, the restaurant is small but has its own charm, and the staff was so friendly.

This is no doubt the best pizza I have had, anywhere. The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings worked so well together.

The staff was fantastic. They decided to combine tables to fit our group and were very nice. The place is a bit small so there might be a little wait but...

This was my second visit to the restaurant. Our first experience was great with a friendly server, and delicious food & drinks so we were looking forward to returning. Google Maps lists the opening hours as noon but when we arrived at 12:15pm the host told us the kitchen wasn’t ready & wouldn’t open until 1pm. We came back at 2pm & got a table beside the road. Our server was fine but slow to bring drinks and only checked back with us once....
