Didn't order any food but grabbed some drinks at the bar. Wonderful decor & clean atmosphere! Bartender(s) were kind & very familiar with their menu. Drink prices were not tourist-taxed, which is nice for a local who works nearby. I'd love to visit again 😁
Quelle belle découverte. Amateurs de cuisine péruvienne, vous y trouverez votre compte. En passant par les aranccinis au canard, la salade de pieuvre aux olives, arroz con mariscos, les drinks fait sur mesure par un barman qui connaît son affaire & un service impeccable, nous avons adoré notre soirée.
S'il petit bémol, le lomo saltado avec gnocchis dans une sauce fromagée, ça ne marche pas, de là 4 étoiles sur la cuisine. Ça goûte surtout la sauce au fromage, & le lomo saltado est complètement dénaturé, ce qui est bien dommage car c'est un plat emblématique de Lima. De tout ce que l'on a goûté, c'est le seul bémol, à mon goût & celui des invités qui nous ont accompagné.
Bref je recommande vivement ce restaurant qui vous fait voyager au coeur de la cuisine de lima avec une inspiration italienne.
Après le Tira Dito & le Chifa des mêmes propriétaires, nous avons été aussi charmés par le goût, l'ambiance & la qualité des plats servis.

We stopped just to have a drink, rest a bit, & watch the people go by in the pedestrian zone. Our well tattooed waiter treated us just as well as if we had ordered their finest fare.
One of the best (& not pricy) restaurant in old port. They are innovative with drinks & food, it's simply amazing. It will be the 3rd time I go back...
We had a great experience in this new restaurant! At first I was skeptic of a fusion between Peruvian & Italian food, but I must admit they achieve it perfectly & very creatively too; the Tiradito Capresse is a great proof of that. They also have some traditional Peruvian dishes like Pan Con Chicharrón which I cannot recommend enough.
Something else that pleased me a lot is that although it is around the same price point as Tiradito, I found the servings to be much more generous here. You can easily order for 2 people with $100 (not accounting for drinks)
What an awesome place! The service was incredible & the food was amazing. I loved this Italian/Peruvian mix! The ambience & decoration of the space was cozy & beautiful. & I also can say the drinks were the best I have ever tried. 5/5
We had an awesome meal at Capisco. We really liked the decor & vibe when we walked in. For drinks we had a pisco sour (a classic), & the Rosa do Botija (like a salty gin martini - delicous!). For appetizers we had the Pulpo & the Tiradito - both really had amazing combinations of flavours. The octopus & olive combination was delicious. For entrees we had the lasagna & the short ribs. There was a slight delay getting the mains, but I feel that's pretty normal given that it's a new restaurant. The lasagna was great, though would have been cool to have more of a Peruvian twist on it. The short ribs & gnocchi was mindblowing. I will definitely get that again. We wanted to try another dish, so we had the Melosito di Mariscos, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Next time, I want to try the carbonara. One of the highlights was our waitress, Asia (hope I spelled that right!). She was super friendly, made lots of great suggestions on what to get, & gave us truly excellent service. Can't wait to go back to Capisco.
