Amazing experience, high quality food full of unique flavors & tasty treats, Peruvian & Italian food is a great fusion, would highly recommend the chicharon sandwich, ouf that's good (sorry no pics, ate it too quick) Tiramisu was huge, rich & delicious.

Une ambiance des années 80 avec une cuisine qui fusionne des plats péruviens à des accents italiens. Pour deux personnes, nous avons pris 2 entrées, un grand plat & un dessert, ce qui fut suffisant. Je recommande le Capisco!

What a unique gem of a restaurant find this is, & in Old Montreal no less. We are definitely in the age of blending cuisines, so Capisco perfectly enhances today's foodie couture with a wonderful Peruvian/ Italian fusion. So creative, so modern.

We were just before the busy crowd, so we were treated to being served by the owner. He told us some fascinating facts about Peruvian cuisine, & described how it can be thoughtfully incorporated into Italian cuisine (& vice versa). Our group shared 5 dishes & every one was so flavourful & beautifully presented. Total wow factor!

I can't wait to try this restaurant again, next time I'm in Montreal.

Thank you! (The Vancouver group)

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 mais un peu trop frite la quantité adéquate, 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 , fettucini, excellente version , la carte des vins est intéressante & abordable pour la qualité de ceux ci , j allais oublié les verres de bières à 5 $ de 5 à 7

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 🍾❤?🥂

Expérience intéressante chez Capisco, un restaurant au concept original mêlant traditions italiennes & saveurs péruviennes. L'endroit est charmant, avec un décor rétro élégant, un bar central accueillant & une ambiance feutrée.

Côté assiette, le ceviche était vraiment excellent : poisson frais, leche de tigre bien relevée, maïs croustillant & belles touches de patate douce - un bel équilibre de textures & de saveurs. Les pâtes au ají de gallina étaient bien réalisées & savoureuses, mais la sauce manquait de l'intensité & du caractère typiques de la recette traditionnelle péruvienne. En tant que Péruvienne, je dirais que cette version revisitée adopte une approche plus douce, qui s'éloigne un peu de l'essence authentique du plat.

Les cocktails étaient corrects, notamment le martini bien réalisé, mais rien d'exceptionnel non plus.

Le service était professionnel, mais pas particulièrement attentionné.

En résumé : une belle adresse pour découvrir une fusion originale, avec une cuisine bien travaillée!

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.

J'ai passé une excellente soirée avec une amie assise au bar. Le service était impeccable & la nourriture vraiment intéressante. J'adore la nourriture péruvienne traditionnelle & ce restaurant offre une fusion italien x peruvien qui est à découvrir.

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)

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.

Such a great place in a top MTL location. Don't expect traditional Italian or Peruvian cuisine but a delicious fusion. Each dish I tried was a lovely culinary experience. My favs are the Tiradito, Ceviche & Chicharron sandwich. Def one of my new fav go to restaurants.
