Restaurante Rosetta Ciudad de México Reviews
Overhyped and overpriced
Came here for lunch which we had booked weeks in advance. Overall, very disappointed. Had the kampachi seafood and white mole with fermented carrots to start. Both were meh. Daughter had pasta with bolognese sauce which she liked but was nothing special. Husband had suckling pig which was very good and was served with a smoked sweet potato purée. I had the cod baked in salt. Was very tasty but one dimensional as it was served on a pile of bitter greens and nothing else. For the price and the reputation, I was very underwhelmed. And the servers removed plates before we were even done eating our appetizers. I do not recommend.
I recommend, but not at the level of a theworlds50best restaurant
After seeing this restaurant on several TV shows, given the title of best female chef in the world and being placed in theworlds50best, we were very eager to try this restaurant. Not my style of decor, but very beautiful place. The decor is quite romantic and their bar on the 3rd floor is very dynamic. As for food, we fell in love with their classic Savoy Cabbage Tacos and their fish. Very well prepared. We also tried two pasta dishes (Carrot Risotto and Stuffed Pasta with Tomato Sauce), very good, but nothing exceptional. Same thing for the desserts, very good, nothing more. As for the service, it is good, but lacks a little professionalism. In addition, we are served the dishes very quickly, which is a shame, because if it was not for the bottles of wine that we ordered, we would have eaten everything in less than an hour. As for alcohol, I find their cocktails very expensive and few bottles of wine affordable. Basically, yes we eat well, yes the decor can be charming for the majority of people, but this restaurant is absolutely not at the level of a theworlds50best restaurant and very far from it. We see with this restaurant the limits and relevance of such a ranking. But if we forget this aspect, for the price (because it is 1/3 of a great restaurant), I recommend it. We also tried the Bakery for lunch, very good, it is really worth the detour.
Friday afternoon lunch
We were pleased with the service and the food. We ordered an entry, minestrone soup, Ribs with polenta, and desert, coffee and the house beer. They offer unlimited free bread with olive oil which was very good and water. We share the main dish. We paíd around 2,500 pesos for two persons wich we feel is quite reasonable for the food and service we received. They also have a bar to wait for your table. We recomend the place. Then, we went to Rosetta bakery which is excelllent.
Fell short of a star
Wondering how they got a star. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. I came here for my birthday dinner , they seemed overbooked lots of tables crammed. Staff frantically rushing all over the place , my drinks and food were subpar. Ate next door the night before excellent, and would recommend going there or anywhere but here. Save your money!
Regrettable!
Despite the mixed reviews, we decided to visit Rosetta due to its Michelin star—a grave mistake, as we fail to understand how it earned such recognition. The venue is overcrowded with tables, and unfortunately, the service is focused solely on maximizing table turnover. There was constant pressure to order quickly, our dishes arrived just five minutes later, and we were continuously rushed to leave. The wine list is unacceptable for a Michelin-starred restaurant, lacking a single high-end or well-known wine. Instead, it features entirely unknown low-end wineries. To top it off, the food was simply bad, with little effort in preparation and more in presentation. We returned some dishes and left others practically untouched due to how terrible they were, yet the waitstaff didn’t even bother to ask what went wrong. The highlight of the night: a mango with a scoop of coconut ice cream (truly basic but the best of the night). Mexico City has hundreds of better places. Rosetta is worth forgetting. We regularly visit Michelin-starred restaurants and have never had such a bad experience.
Disappointing given the rave reviews
Atmosphere lacking - what are all these reviews talking about a great atmosphere? Restaurant is set in an old mansion, you’re placed in one of a number of small rooms, we were in one with maybe 5 tables, very quiet and boring. Service was fine, reserved, and definitely not overly helpful . Drinks selection- wine list by the glass limited, and at over $20USD I expect the wine to be better. Food wise, we had the beet salad, tasted fine but is it exceptional or different in some way? Nope. Fish ceviche was nice. Bread with a special butter I would skip. For entrees, we had the vegetable risotto, flat iron steak, short ribs and the salt fish. All were fine, but again, nothing outstanding or exceptional, best was probably the fish. I would not come back or recommend this to my friends given the number of options in CDMX.
Rosetta is a gem in Mexico City
Great spot is a lively and fun neighborhood. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is quite nice and the food was fantastic. This is one of the three restaurants in Mexico City in the world's top 50 list and it is by far much less expensive than the other two. I would highly recommend the bread that comes with butter mixed with ants. It was out of this world. The short rib was also amazing. I was told they change the menu daily, although I assume only a few things change each day. If you like good food, try this while in Mexico City. After dinner you can walk around the area and find a few places with live music if you wish.
Six stars
Simply delicious. Every plate was exquisite, the flavors perfectly blended for an amazing results. Wine list is original but misses a few heavier weights. Service is ok and attentive.
Less can be More!
Food was flawlessly cooked and amazingly delicate. Just a few ingredients made up my favorite dishes which included the white corn tamal, pappardelle with chicken liver, and the camote fagattini with salsa macha. It’s no wonder this restaurant is on most ‘must’ lists for Mexico City. FYI Be sure to book as far out as possible. Timing will dictate if you get prioritized for indoor vs outdoor seating.
Great venue but very disappointing food (never again).
Great venue in a beautiful villa that got transformed into a restaurant. The bar has some window seatings over-looking the street. The service was good (not great). Food was really disappointing. I had the scallops appetizer (you can barely see the scallops hidden in slices of cucumber in a very over-powering limy sauce. I would definitely not recommend it. The pasta with chicken liver was edible. Not sure what the hype is about. Food is really not impressive. Will not repeat.
Disappointed after our high expectations.
Our expectations were very high due to the reviews on Trip adviser as well as in the media. Slightly disappointed with the food, it tasted nice but the portions were very small. We spent £170 for 2 starters (scallops which were very tasty, but no cookery involved), and 2 mains (prawns with mole sauce, the prawns weren't cleaned properly with the prawn vein still intact in a couple - which is really inexcusable for a restaurant that is supposed to be one of the "top 50 restaurants in the world") and wine. We decided to cut our losses and leave without dessert. On a plus the waiters are attentive and helpful. The setting is nice.
Bit disappointing
Popped in as a walk in lunch on a whim, I was travelling solo and they had a table available for 90mins. I ordered two dishes on the recommendation of the waiter - a beetroot tartare and a tagliolini with strachinella cheese and chile Serrano. Both were very bland and in my view overpriced for what they were. Service was efficient but not particularly friendly. I popped next door to Blanco Colima and had a much more fun experience with some great cocktails in a much livelier atmosphere. Was a bit disappointed by Rosetta restaurant as other places within the group such as Lardo are great.
Very mediocre food
Good service, lovely place, VERY mediocre food. Bread and short ribs were good. Grilled celeriac, tamales, pozole, and other appetizers were small, bland and lukewarm. A real disappointment
Good but no need to come back
The atmosphere is amazing and the restaurant has really character. The service is very efficient (maybe a bit too efficient as you get the feeling that the faster you eat and go, the better). One receives the cocktail and wine list w/o menu which is weird in my opinion as one might chose the wine as a function of the food. We had four starters: ant butter with bread was very good, though disproportionated. The tartar and endivias were average. Crudo de kampachi was by far the best and most elegant starter. We did not get the focaccia bread (maybe because we had the ant butter as a starter). Mains were the pappardelle and the lechon. The former had a fantastic sauce and higaditos were well cooked. The real problem was the pasta which was chewy, I think out of some problems with the “impasto” (did they put cheese in it?). The pig was unappealing and uninteresting chromatically, the sauce too dense but well cooked. All in all a good dinner but definitely no need to come back.
Beautiful setting, lovely dinner!
Two things come to mind when I recall our dinner at Rosetta: the beautiful setting and the absolutely delicious tres leches lavender cake! Not that the rest of what we had wasn’t great! It was! And the whole dinner experience and service were top notch.
Expensive and disappointing
The food is described in fanciful terms but is nothing special . We had the endive salad in a vanilla sauce which was bland. I had the sea bass baked in salt. The fish was overdone and had no spicing at all. Very ordinary, but expensive. My husband had the tagliatelle with chicken livers. It had no sauce and no spicing and the presentation was ugly. The cocktails came in tiny glasses and the wine by the glass was poured in such a way that it was just one third of a glass. We have never seen such meagre pouring of wine. We ate in other top restaurants in MXC, and this one was the most expensive.
Fantastic restaurant in a beautiful area
Our friends recommended this restaurant and made reservations for the 4 of us which was great because it appears that you need to have advance reservations. The service and food were outstanding. We particularly loved the tamale starter and the tagliatelli with chicken livers. The mescals were good, but, we were also happy that they had saki on the menu as we liked to have a departure from the usual drinks. We were sat inside and the high ceilings and plants made for a nice environment. We would go back to this restaurant.
Great place, fantastic pasta
We visited the rooftop bar one night and were impressed with the great cocktails and view. Came back for dinner and had a terrific time - 4 different pasta dishes, all wonderful, homemade pasta that was both flavorful and delicate. A lovely evening.
Stylish restaurant, starts strong.
Visited this location on a friend's recommendation. The location is nice, service was quite good. The drinks were creative and tasty. The appetizers started us off strong, they were amazing, but after that, well, it was OK. It's a good place to eat, though in a city like Mexico City, it didn't 'Wow' me as many places do... so it's a 'maybe' for a return.
Okeish
I really loved the panaderia so we decided to book for the restaurant. While the food is good, it is not extraordinary. I really liked the starter with carrots and mole but otherwise the rest was just average pasta, but expensive.
