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.
David
Very good food. Well prepared. Interesting fusion of Italian & Peruvian cuisines. Service was top notch.
Ivan
This spot is Peruvian & Italian fusion, & it works beautifully. The ceviche & carbonara were both exceptional, & the service was excellent.
Jason
Really nice food. A little confusing because we don't know much about Peruvian food (however there are Italian dishes too). all the Peruvian food was excellent, fresh & delicious. Halibut ceviche, pork in tuna sauce with truffle peach, seafood paella … all amazing & unique to my palette. .
Alice
Good food. The Tiradito is a must-try. The fish is fresh & very tasty. They managed to do a good fusion of Italian & Peruvian cuisines.

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)

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!!

Great peruvian-italian food! Eveything was delicious! Just keep in mind that portions are small here.

If your idea of good dining is discovering new flavours & unusual combinations that taste fantastic, go to Capisco. Chef Marcel Larrea had previously given us modern Peruvian Japanese & Chinese treats at his ultra-popular restaurants Tiradito & Chifa (where I always take friends). At Capisco, he delivers his wonderful take on Italian. Don't expect the ordinary. You'll have tons of fun.

Great Atmosphere with even even greater food! The Peru/Italian fusion is a work of magic. From the look of the restaurant to the waiters & dishes everything was excellent. Highly recommend.
Raúl
Very interesting & delicious peruvian/italian dishes in Montreal! I tried the capelottis of aji de gallina in huancaina sauce, the recommendation of the chef, the arancinis of duck & huancaina sauce, some lucuma ice cream & the classic pisco sour, it does not appear in the menu but just ask in the bar & also a passion fruit pisco sour! Cozy & welcoming environment & attentive staff, totally recommended spot! Just 4 stars because as a peruvian, I like bigger portions of food 😅
Jessica
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.
Carlos
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.
Jose
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.
Daniela
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
