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 dont les quantités etaient adéquates, 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 , fettucinis, excellente version , l arroz con mariscos délicieux, les cocktails péruviens sont bons dont le fameux chilcano sour ,& il y a un bon choix de bières , les vins de collection privé sont bons mais dispendieux, le resto est quand même grand sur deux étages, bien structuré & le décor est cool car vintage & le bar moderne.
I was having a big expectation from this place since the owner is the same of chifa & Tiradito which the two of them are amazing. But this place was ok the tiradito capresse was our favorite with ordered twice . The ceviche was also really good & the lomo saltado to share is nice. The tiramisu was ok nothing extraordinary. The cocktail I got was good. I guess the only comment about it was the service or I mean the lack of it. You can totally tell that the waitress didnt like her job. I mean I work in the same industry & I know sometimes you can have one of those days but she really didn't even try it. To me service is 80% of the tip & when they are expecting 22% of tip with that kind of attitude no way. I guess old port service is really something. Ps the place was not even full when we arrived it was like two or three tables more

I wish I could give this restaurant a higher rating. Unfortunately, our first visit on New Year's Eve was disappointing. We waited quite a long time before anyone came to take our order, & the service felt a bit disorganized with different servers coming to our table.
We were told that two of the main highlights of the special menu were already unavailable: the pulpo as an appetizer & the arroz con mariscos as a main. Our reservation was at 8:30 p.m., so it was frustrating that these signature dishes were already sold out, especially knowing the restaurant was fully booked & offering a limited New Year's menu.
The waitress was kind & apologetic, & management tried to offer a tiradito instead of the main dish, but as this is normally an appetizer & much less expensive, it did not feel like an equivalent replacement. They also offered us a shot at the end, which was appreciated, though it was something many guests received due to the occasion.
That said, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the staff is friendly, & the food we did have was delicious. We especially enjoyed the pork carpaccio & the braised lomo saltado. While the prices are quite high for the portions, this is understandable given the location in Old Port.
Overall, it's a lovely place with great potential, but better planning & organization on busy nights like New Year's Eve would make a big difference in the experience.
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.
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!
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.
