enjoyable fusion of cuisines, Peruvian & Italian. gnocchi with beef brisket was the slightly pricy highlight. ceviche delicious too. servings are smaller-moderate. great range of drinks.
overall Capisco is worth trying, but expect to spend at least $50 a person if not considerably more if you have >1 course & drinks!
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.
Hands down, one of the best all-around meals & now one of my favorites restaurants. Ordered the amor y fresca drink, homemade focaccia, fritto mixto - all of which were equally amazing. But the star of the show was the brisket lomo saltado - it was absolutely, out of this world. I would absolutely come back & recommend to anyone visiting!

Best meal in Montreal! Loved the tiradito caprese, the vegetables, the brisket & octopus carpaccio! Looking forward to returning soon to try the rest of the menu. Service was wonderful as well!
This is a great addition to the Tiradito & Chifa family of resto. Italian food with a twist. Great cocktails Santa Muerte with abysenthe & topaza pyra whisky coffe combo great choices
Waiter suggested Tiradito caprese a must & frito mixto another excellent choice. I was very impressed by the lasagna, well executed, perfect bechamel sauce with brisket ragu, may not the standard for American but this is the real deal for an Italian. Bravo!!! Great meal !!
Oh I forgot the tiramisu, very impressed by the execution!!
What a fabulous meal & an outstanding level of service. The Italo-Peruvian fusion is a winner. The Tuna was perfect, the beef brisket so tender. The menu is simple but diverse. Thanks to all the staff for making our wedding meal so memorable 🍾❤?🥂
Thank you Joseph & Capisco for an amazing'blind menu' dinner. Every course was a beautifully prepared & delicious with a mouthwatering gnocchi & beef brisket main course. Perfect Rue Saint Paul location for people watching & excellent street music during our meal. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Old Town Montreal.
Amazing Food! We had the brisket & it was melting in our mouths. Ambiance is great, the decor is very aesthetically pleasing. Overall great experience. Would recommend!
Delicious food but the Italian side is more well done than the Peruvian side of the fusion. Carbonara was fantastic. Ceviche was tasty but tiny. I'd skip the Brisket Lomo Saltado.
Nice Peruvian-Italian fusion restaurant in old port. Atmosphere inside was nice, & the restaurant was nicely decorated. Staff was kind & spends awhile going through their seemingly complex menu. I'd say the appetizers here are what make the restaurant special, they were honestly very good. Their brisket main dish was also good, but a bit salty. Overall a nice new spot.
