Vesuvio - Álvaro Obregón

It was Friday at 2om and it wasn't crowded, I appreciate that, I guess it was because in inside a shopping mall, and on a kind of secluded terrace, with a very nice view, or it could be because it is not cheap. But tasty that it is for sure, and maybe because it wasn't crowded the attention was prompt, efficient and friendly. The place is nice. It serves Italian food. Is inside a shoping mall called Samara.

Casual restaurant in the Samara shops -- street level. Excellent pizza and pasta. Friendly staff. Good listing of inexpensive wines. Very good value.

The service very good ok but the food was pretty regular. The four cheeses pizza wasn't very tasty and the pasta primavera didn't have vegetables!

I anticipate this won't be a nice review but someone needs to stop this shame and I am taking on the task. Stop calling Italian restaurants places where ingredients are not autentic. Stop pretending you are offering Italian food if you do not even know what these receipes are. National cousine restaurants should be approved by authorities of those country as part of national identities and cultures. Otherwise stop this shame!I have had bad experiences but this was the first time ever I refused to eat and sent the dish back to the chef. So, the menu tells the story of a genuine Italian restaurant. I ask upfront how autentic the ingredients are. They swear everything is autentic and flies in from Italy. Good! I ask for "prosciutto di Parma e parmigiano". What they bring is 4 slices of a given ham and chocked cheese. By the look of it I can tell it's not Parma but I try it anyway. Well, disgusting! As said, it's not Parma. Moreover it's most probably expired and the chef added drops of lemon on it in the aim of dissimulating the bad taste. Chees is not Parmigiano either. To me this is called cheating! You, guys, should not be allowed to cheat customers. If you do, you should be taken to court because these ingredients you are declaring in your menu are "protected" and you cannot use those branded names to cheat customers. You are cheaters! And the only reason I have given a "poor" and not a "terrible" is because the complementary bread you serve is actually good which might be telling that someone in that kitchen can actually cook.

I came back here, if you want an oven well made best quality ingredients this is the place. All pastas are great. People at restaurant always great attitude.
