il Fiorino — Restaurant in Mexico City

Such delicious Italian food! This has been one of the few places in Mexico City where I felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were incredibly inviting and helpful from the moment we arrived. We started with an alba salad, and all the ingredients came together to make it absolutely delicious—I especially loved the dressing.

We ordered an Aperol Spritz, which was refreshing and perfect for the evening. The extensive selection of pasta dishes felt a bit overwhelming, so I asked the server for a recommendation. He suggested the tagliatelle al porcini, which was simply delicious. The dish had the perfect balance of flavors, and the sauce was a standout. It was a limited-time dish because they were running low on the specific mushrooms used, making it feel even more special.

The server checked on us throughout the meal to ensure we were enjoying everything. We ended the evening with a panna cotta, which was the cherry on top of an already wonderful meal. I had this particular restaurant at the top of my must-visit list, and I’m so glad I finally got to experience it.

With such a wide variety of pastas, I can’t wait to return and try more. This restaurant is unpretentious and inviting, with food that feels homemade yet elevated. My favorite for Italian in...

Today was the second time we went to this hidden gem. We went to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better place. Without even knowing we were celebrating such an important day, we were treated so incredibly. Fernando is just fantastic. Coming from an Italian background myself, I always appreciate Italian owned restaurants (and that is just so hard to come by in Mexico!). This one not only is owned by an Italian, but Fernando is always there making sure you are having the time of your life, he'll recommend dishes or even make some up from scratch depending on what you like. He's so kind and generous, not only his food just tele-transports you to the most authentic Italian trattoria, but you feel like you're part of a family. You're also never rushed, he understands the importance of just taking your time to drink your wine (amazing wine by the way).

I just don't have words to describe what an amazing experience dining here is. Please don't...

The food itself was lovely, but the service was very weird. We arrived without a reservation and were seated. As we were making our way through the menu at a normal pace, the waiter kept coming over asking if we were ready to order and was agitated that we were not. We ordered an appetizer, and it was taken before we were finished and without asking if we were done. In the middle of our main course, the manager came over and asked if we had a reservation… after we were already seated and eating. Then the waiter took our main course dishes before we were finished. He came over a final time while we were finishing our bottle of wine and I asked that he leave the bottle since we weren’t done and he laughed at us and said “yes, of course.” It seemed that they’d seated us without thinking about reservations and then tried to rush us through our meal. Very annoying and it tainted the...
