Forno Ardente Independencia

Their pizzas are just of if the best I’ve ever eaten (and I’m very picky…).

Great location, lovely staff and the food was also amazing! Calzone, pasta, pizza, salad, we had a bit of everything and it was all great! The staff were very helpful when we needed to order and constantly checked if we were ok. - Cant remember seeing a drink menu from them. PROS: would definitely recommend as the food was delicious and there was a live band playing jazzy songs. CONS: It could get a bit overwhelming as there are a few other food restaurants in the same floor and as soon as they see you arrive they will hand out their menu, we ended up with like 6 different ones.

I never expected to find such delicious Italian food in a food court. They have a large oven in their small kitchen for baking pizzas. I tried the Mediterranean salad, where the sourness was perfectly balanced, the vegetables were very fresh, and the ham was exceptionally tasty.

Food was absolutely delicious. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Price was very reasonable. It was hard to find as it is up (many) stairs in a shared restaurant space with several other small restaurants. The music was very loud but the staff let us eat downstairs in another restaurant’s space where it wasn’t so loud. We definitely want to eat the food again, but we will get delivery next time.

Delicious, affordable food in a great ambiance! Best part of the food: extremely fresh ingredients made both the salads and the pizza delightful, as well as a fluffy and crispy crust. Cost was ~170-250 pesos/pizza, which is super reasonable especially given how good they are! The ambiance: when we went there was 80s & 90s music playing (love), and it's a big market-style, where there's a bunch of long tables in the middle with tons of food and drink options around, and you can order from a combination of places if you want, great for big groups Only trick is finding it - the location on Google maps is spot on, it's a pair of large double doors marked "Mercado Independiente" (subtly) and you go up to the rooftop level for most of the restaurants, including this one.

Amazing meals, spectacular ambience, and wonderful service. I had the ribeye steak well done with vegetables and mashed potatoes instead of french fries. For my drinks, I had a very Frisca with mineral water and a chai latte for dessert. As a solo traveler, I was comfortable and we’ll definitely be returning for another meal.

This place is on the second floor (la terraza) of the Centro Gastronómico - go up the main flight of stairs, then follow the sign toward the back for the second flight up to the terrace. You can sit anywhere, and servers from each restaurant will come and bring you their menus. You can order from one or multiple places at once! A very unique, very fun experience. We had the mixed salad, caprese salad, and pepperoni pizza. The pizza was served with herbs and peppers in oil, and everything was delicious! We will definitely be back.

This lovely little Italian restaurant is nestled in a food court upstairs on the terrazza. The pizzas were just divine, we had a margarita and the supreme. Fresh and so, so tasty and outstanding value for money. 100% recommended.
