The story
At the heart of Polanco, one of Mexico City's most sophisticated neighborhoods, Romina is a fine-dining restaurant built around a sincere love for traditional Italian cuisine. The ethos is captured in the restaurant's own motto — l'amore per la cucina italiana — and it shows in every corner of the space.
The interior design at Romina draws on a careful fusion of colors and finishes to recreate the warmth of a classic Italian dining room. The result is an intimate atmosphere that manages to feel both refined and genuinely welcoming. Beyond the main dining room, an elegant terrace extends the experience outdoors, while a dedicated VIP area is reserved for wine tastings — a fitting detail for a restaurant that earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
Romina's commitment to authentic Italian cooking has not gone unnoticed. In addition to the Wine Spectator recognition, the restaurant holds a fork from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative guide to Italian cuisine worldwide — a meaningful endorsement that places Romina among a select group of Italian restaurants operating outside Italy that meet rigorous standards of quality and authenticity.
The Romina family extends to a separate Pizzeria location on Campos Elíseos, also in Polanco, offering a more casual expression of the same Italian culinary tradition. A private chef and at-home dining service rounds out the offering for those who want the Romina experience beyond the restaurant walls.
