Étant une grande amatrice du poisson je me suis bien régalé avec ces délicieux plats, la star était la poulpe très bien complémenter avec la foccacia qui était juste parfaite j'étais déçu de ne pas trouver le tiradito de pétoncle sur le menu mais ça sera pour une autre fois.

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.

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!

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

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!!

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 Peruvian food (tiradito, ceviche...), wonderful cocktails. We will be back!

Excellent restaurant qui marie le péruvien & l'italien dans le Vieux-Montréal. Nous avons pris 4 excellentes entrées pour partager: tiradito caprese un ceviche avec une touche italienne, pulpo à l'olivo avec de la pieuvre émincée à la mandoline, porco tonnato qui marie porc & thon & pêches, puis causa de camaroni avec crevettes & sauce au homard. N'hésitez pas à prendre tous ces plats à partager. En plat principal à partager ce fut brisquet lomosaltado avec une viande hyper tendre cuite 7 h avec gnocchis dans une excellente sauce au fromage. Très copieux. En dessert, une crème glacée au lucuma faite par le bilboquet: goût de caramel avec texture de crème glacée aux fèves rouges. Excellent. Sans oublier les cocktails: prima donna, cinderella, & pisco sour Capisco (photo). Tous exquis. Merci à Nelly pour son super service très attentionné!!! Une visite s'impose.

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)

Bon cocktail, équipe serviable malgré l absence d ambiance.. Quand à l adition ils nous ont fait payer deux fois le pourboire.. Musique inappropriée.. On a fini au tiradito ou notre soirée s est terminée sur une bonne note.

Los platos tienen buen sabor y sazón. Los sabores en cada plato están bien logrados . Las pastas tienen un tamano correcto pero pedimos el tiradito y tenía una cantidad pequenisima de carne y por más de 21 dólares no vale la pena parece una muestra de un plato solo lo recomendaría si quieres una muestra y no un plato completo.

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.

I celebrated my birthday at Capisco with five foodie friends, based on a recommendation from an industry connection. We ordered: • Parmesan scallops • Crab causa • Brisket lomosaltado • Duck arancini • Ceviche • Tiradito caprese • Porco tonnato • Capelettis • Octopus & veg Every single dish was outstanding. The execution, creativity, & thoughtfulness behind each plate were really remarkable. Our standout favorites were the brisket, which was as tender as butter, the duck arancini, & the ceviche caprese. Cocktails & wines were great & Sacha's service also added to the experience. He was super friendly, attentive, & caring without being overbearing. Will be back!

Service très agréable, idem pour les cocktails, très réussis. Cependant les plats n'étaient pas tous égaux & relativement chers. J'ai beaucoup aimé les fruits de mer frits, par contre très déçue par les croquettes de poulet , on sentait à peine le poulet & la portion était vraiment très petite. Le tiradito de pieuvre était déséquilibré, le goût des olives prédominait largement le plat, on aurait aimé apprécier davantage la pieuvre.

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.
