The Pasta Lab - Cuauhtémoc

The owner/chef is Italian and makes the fresh pasta. The flavors are the true Italian ones, not the toque Mexicano that happens to a lot of foreign food here in Mexico. This is the real deal. He has a small selection of fresh pasta to go, along with Italian charcuterie. He also said that given a day's advance notice, he would consider making off menu items. This is a trattoria so this means a relatively informal environment and it is open only from about noon to 6pm. I can't recommend this place enough if you want great pasta, good wine, and reasonable prices.

We arrived by chance, walking past and wondering what the place was about. We actually thought it just sold pasta given the name. But it is a small and informal eatery, with a friendly staff and a comforting menu. Some dishes are better than others. The nordic salad for example was geographically defined by two slithers of herring on top! Not so Italian or so Nordic in fact. Maybe some smoked fish or salmon would justify the name! The pasta was nice. And the chefs friendly. The wine list by the glass was quite limited. Either white or red. A good choice for a neighbourhood pasta place.

Llegué por algo específico y salí con más. Hay una muy interesante variedad de quesos, vinos y productos italianos. Declaro mi interés por convertirme en comensal frecuente. Me encantó. Gracias por la experiencia.

El servicio extraordinario como siempre, la variedad de cervezas artesanales es muy interesante Hoy probé Ravioles de Pecorino y Pera, Tortini de queso cabra y siempre hay que dejar espacio para el tiramisú

As good as to call home about. The pasta by itself is worth a trip, but the antipasti and the secondi stand by itself. I was there with friends, and we ended up trying everyone's dish! There are only 5 tables, so get there early. Desserts are also very good, I had the tiramisu and didn't one to share it!. The wine menu is all italian ,you can find very good ones from various regions. The service is also a plus, the owners serve you, the chef comes to your table and you deffinitly feel like being in a Gastronomia in Siena. I bought some fresh pasta, and definitly keep on buying there, I also bought other products I haven´t seen in any other specialized store in Mexico City.
