The best Italian food in Mexico City, according to the experts: MexBest, Eater, and The Infatuation have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Bar Nino comes out on top.
More Less
Galea and Romina hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide and The Infatuation show up on more of this list than any other guide.
-
Rank 1. Bar Nino
Italian
Most seats are outside, the way Roma Norte tends to prefer it, and Bar Nino earns that open-air ease with an elegant take on Italian fine dining. The team behind Hugo El Wine Bar opened this one nearby, and the two feel like a matched set: food that knows what it's doing, a wine list worth drinking by the glass, and service that reads as genuinely warm rather than just correct.

Rank 2. Galea
Italian
A corner spot in Roma Norte with a terrace out front and a wood-lined interior that splits the difference between a Roman trattoria and something newer. Galea is a small, easygoing Italian restaurant with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, where the menu stays focused and the pasta comes in half portions so you can order two without the guilt. Daily specials and crudo are worth asking about, and the locally priced tabs explain why the regulars are always already there.

Rank 3. Sartoria
Italian
The terrace fills early with couples and the kind of people who dress like they read Italian Vogue, making Sartoria feel more Milan than Roma Norte. It's a neighborhood osteria at heart, with an industrial-chic interior and a focused menu that runs from antipasti through pasta to secondi. The kitchen takes presentation seriously, and the tiramisu is the kind that makes you question every other version you've had.

Rank 7. Bella Aurora
Contemporary Italian
The pink facade on Calle de Puebla gives away nothing except that someone here has good taste. Bella Aurora is an all-day Italian spot in Roma Norte, from the same team behind Rosetta and Lardo, and it runs from breakfast pastries through pasta lunches to full dinners without ever feeling like it's trying too hard. The room is green and airy, the crowd is local and unhurried, and the tiramisu is a reasonable argument for skipping the main course entirely.

Rank 10. Bartola
Italian
Bartola is a loud, candlelit Italian dinner spot in Roma Norte, all white tablecloths set against deliberately broken cement walls. The host handles walk-ins with a smile that translates roughly to good luck, and the open kitchen is staffed by cooks who look styled for a menswear lookbook. Expats fill the room, mostly watching each other. The chicken parm gets finished tableside, which is the only moment anyone looks at their food.
