We were a group of friends celebrating a milestone birthday & had a wonderful experience. We were seated in a lovely corner booth, & the restaurant's retro style created a great atmosphere. The staff were fantastic, & our waitress was especially patient, kind, & attentive.
The food was excellent, & the Pisco Sour was outstanding! Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you for making the celebration so memorable!
Belle expérience au capisco , nous connaissions le chifa & tiradito que nous apprécions d ailleurs mais celui ci , est une fusion perou & italie , on a pris 2 entrées ,une causa vraiment bonne & une frito mixta dont les quantités etaient adéquates, pour le repas principal on a choisi lomo saltado ce classique peruvien mais très transformé à la sauce fromage huancaina,le boeuf est composé de briskets braisés gnocchis , fettucinis, excellente version , l arroz con mariscos délicieux, les cocktails péruviens sont bons dont le fameux chilcano sour ,& il y a un bon choix de bières , les vins de collection privé sont bons mais dispendieux, le resto est quand même grand sur deux étages, bien structuré & le décor est cool car vintage & le bar moderne.

Good food, nice atmosphere. Waitresses & waiter were super nice & great. Played the Habs game for them on the phone :) Got an AMAZING dessert recommendation from the manager! Get the gnocchi!
Thank you so much! Justin was the best server. He was the reason we decided to walk in, & he continued the amazing service throughout. Suggesting food, taking pictures for us & laughing together! Great food & overall experience.
I was expecting more & therefore I was sadly disappointed. Hopefully this review will temper the expectations of the italian fusion fans. I am a particular fan of italian -japanese fusion restaurants having tried a number in both hong kong & tokyo. From an instagram post I expected something similar from this italian-peruvian fusion restaurant. I am also a pretty big fan of peruvian food. Its not that its not decent, everything was OK, but everythig really could have been a little more excellent with a little more flair & effort. Three of us ate so I tried a lot on the menu, most notable was the cheesecake which was similar to a Basque cheesecake but with a creme caramel top - I have had better but it was very good. The carbonara was decent as well, but again I have had better. MD rating 6.
Food was excellently presented. Our server however knew nothing about them menu, when we asked questions prior to order & once the food arrived we wanted to know some information about what some things were on the octopus carpaccio but he didn't know & said he never tried it...
I would expect more from a place like this with such a lovely small menu. Would love to eat the food again some day though!
Food was super tasty & the presentation was beautiful!!
We took the ceviche, causa de camarones, pulpo a l'olivo & frito mixto as appetizers & they were all amazing. We also took the arroz con marisco (wow), the brisquet (great meat), the pasta a la peruvianesca & all three desserts. Everything was consistently good! The service was also great!
