The story
Sepia Cucina Italiana sits on Sinaloa 170, in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City — one of the capital's most vibrant and food-conscious districts. The restaurant earned a Fork from Gambero Rosso in 2024, the prestigious Italian food and wine guide, placing it among a select group of Italian restaurants outside Italy deemed worthy of that institution's recognition.
A Gambero Rosso Fork is not handed out lightly. The guide, founded in Italy and respected worldwide as an authority on Italian cuisine, evaluates restaurants on the quality and authenticity of their cooking. For an Italian restaurant operating in Mexico City to appear in its pages speaks to a consistent standard that goes beyond novelty or concept.
Detailed information about the menu, chef, and interior is limited in available sources. What is clear is that Sepia Cucina Italiana has built enough of a reputation — in a city with no shortage of dining options — to attract the attention of one of Italy's most demanding food guides. For anyone in Mexico City seeking Italian cuisine that has been vetted by rigorous outside standards, Sepia is a name worth knowing.
