Review Summary

Capisco delivers a delightful Italo-Peruvian fusion that makes bold flavors feel approachable, with standout dishes like ceviche, lasagna, brisket lomosaltado and a variety of shared plates that showcase both traditions. The atmosphere mixes cozy, retro charm with a lively Old Montreal vibe, and the cocktails are frequently praised for creativity and balance. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, guiding guests through a diverse menu and ensuring drinks and courses arrive with care. Portions are generous and the overall value is appreciated, though a few busy nights may bring slower service or signature items being sold out. This combination of inventive cooking, pleasing presentation, and welcoming hospitality tends to leave guests eager to return and explore more of the menu.

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.

Finally a Peruvian restaurant in the Old Port & it's now the best restaurant in the neighbourhood. Octopus with this olive sauce is diiiivine. I cannot wait to come back. Must request anticuchos (duck hearts) back on the menu though❤️🇵🇪 love from a girl born in Cusco.

Bistrot molto elegante quasi semplice rispetto ad altri locali nelle vicinanze , ma la sorpresa è sul tavolo! Cucina Italo peruviana fenomenale In due abbiamo preso i 7 antipasti da condividere ed erano uno più buono dell altro , presentazione fantastica anche esteticamente i piatti sono ben fatti. Seguendo le recensioni degli altri ci siamo buttati sui cocktail e anche lì si casca veramente bene . Prezzi corretti per la qualità globale . Gestore molto gentile e disponibile Da provare a Montreal ( ci torno appena sarò qui di nuovo)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Peruvian food with an Italian twist right in Old Montreal

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.
