Why go
Romina is a practical Polanco pick when the goal is an easy, low-pressure dinner rather than a trophy reservation. Book it for convenience, group flexibility, a calmer Mexico City plan; cross-shop nearby peers if you want a clearer seafood, steakhouse, Greek, or party-dinner identity.
About Romina
Romina is a Mexico City restaurant with daily hours and a smart-casual dress code. Beyond those basics, cuisine, chef, pricing, signature dishes, seating format, awards are not specified. Romina is a practical option to consider, rather than a restaurant to book for a specific documented specialty.
For planning, timing is a useful detail. Romina opens at 1:30 PM daily, closes at 11 PM Monday through Saturday, closes at 8 PM on Sunday. That makes it easier to place in an afternoon or evening itinerary than a venue with a narrower schedule, while still leaving the exact meal style and menu expectations to be confirmed directly before booking.
Book it when the plan needs to stay easy
This is not the place to choose based on a chef-led tasting menu, named awards, or a signature order, because those details are not specified. What is clear is simpler: daily opening, evening-friendly hours most of the week, a smart-casual dress code.
Set expectations around fit rather than hype. If the group needs a restaurant with a clearly defined cuisine, price point, or menu format, confirm those details directly before committing. If you are comparing options, Romina can be weighed against Campomar Masaryk, Cuerno Masaryk, Ilios Greek, La Buena Barra CDMX, or Taboo, depending on what kind of plan you are building.
Where it fits in a Mexico City night
Romina makes the most sense when the basics are enough for the plan: Mexico City, daily hours, smart-casual dress. It is better treated as a flexible candidate than as a once-per-trip destination with an accolade or signature format.
Use it as a practical Mexico City option when timing matters and the table is comfortable confirming menu and booking details directly. For broader planning around the city, start with Our full Mexico City restaurants guide, then cross-shop other options such as Campomar Masaryk, Cuerno Masaryk, Ilios Greek, La Buena Barra CDMX, Taboo if the meal needs a more specific point of comparison.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Romina sits in Polanco as a wine-forward counterpoint to the district’s prevailing tasting-menu culture. The room leans on a European sensibility: small, focused and centered around cellar selections rather than culinary spectacle. That orientation creates a calm, classic dining environment where bottles and provenance take pride of place. The experience reads less like a high-ceremony tasting event and more like an Old-World salon adapted for Mexico City — measured service, an attentive wine program and plates designed to accompany what’s in the glass rather than upstage it.
Best For
Romina is best for diners who prioritize wine as the main event. It’s well suited to evening meals where guests want to explore cellar-driven selections alongside familiar Italian plates — think relaxed business dinners or quiet special occasions for groups focused on bottles and conversation. The address functions as a destination within Polanco for those who arrive as much for the wine as for the food, offering an alternative to the neighborhood’s tasting-menu circuit and rewarding guests who are curious about the cellar’s holdings.
Ordering Tips
Let the cellar guide your choices: the house positions wine at the center of the meal, so start by looking at bottles or curated selections that showcase the cellar’s strengths. Pair lighter, briny dishes such as spaghetti with clams early in the meal and move to richer mains like tuna tagliata or eggplant parmigiana later. If you’re focused on wine discovery, indicate that preference when you arrive so the staff can orient you to standout cellar offerings. Keep portions and pairings in mind — the kitchen structures plates to complement what’s in the glass.

Restaurant context
How Romina compares in Polanco
Romina is the easiest recommendation when the brief is simple: keep the night in Polanco, avoid a reservation fight, choose a room that should work for mixed preferences. La Buena Barra CDMX and Cuerno Masaryk are stronger cross-shops when the group wants a more defined steakhouse-style or see-and-be-seen dinner, but they are less useful for diners who want the evening to feel relaxed.
For a more specific cuisine lane, Ilios Greek is the cleaner choice if the group wants Greek food and a brighter room, while Campomar Masaryk is the better match for a seafood-led plan. Romina is the safer middle when the group has not agreed on a category.
Taboo is the cross-shop for a higher-energy dinner where ambiance is the point. Choose Romina instead when conversation, timing, booking ease matter more than a big-night feel.
