Unfortunately the restaurant I went earlier in the night served small portions and I was still hungry. Decided to go to a Pizza Restaurant and La Cicciolina certainly filled me up. This is an intimate restaurant on the side street off Reforma. The waiter was very friendly and we had a great chat asking where I was visiting from (Australia) and how he knew a few Australian people through his travels. Bonus, there was a TV screen with a local Mexican football match being showed. Also had a nice juice, coffee and pastry to top off the night.

Loved the carrot cake especially! But the coffees and pizza were also great :). Fair price. The waiter was very nice and we had a chat about CDMX. We already went 3 times, and will be back!

Very cool place with awesome food and best location next to the angel de la indepencia. I was surprised about the carne asada and the Matcha Latte. Really good! The ambient is very nice and comfortable with all the plants and lights. To recommend!

The freshest salads I've found after trying *many* restaurants in the city. I enjoy the eclectic music and sitting next to the warm oven is comforting on a cold day. The staff are friendly too. Some of the other dishes are a bit hit or miss though. I wasn't in love with the pacualina.

Delicious, fast, convenient. Server was extremely kind to us with the language barrier. The food was top notch. Dessert (chocolate cake) best I've had!

Great food and wonderful coffee - very good "carajillo". The place is a bit hidden from the main restaurants area if you want a quiet place to enjoy.
