Everything was great. The food (we had multiple seafood options) was just amazingly tasty, fresh & unique. Definitely recommended.

We were a group of 6 with kids & we were super thirsty. We weren't hungry so we told it before we entered. They were super nice about it. Considering we were only having beer & soft drinks it was obvious that we weren't going to spend much money. However their service was friendly. Because of this we plan to return there to eat &/or to have cocktails!

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)

Very nice evening. We split three appies & each had the drink of the day. The ceviche was delicious, ate that before the photo! There was a good amount of seafood on the menu, like you would find in Miraflores in Peru. The verdura mix a la plancha had the option to add grilled octopus, which was a great addition & the vegetables weren't overdone so still had texture. The pan con chicharon was good as well, but not the star of the show for us.
We sat in the terrace & enjoyed some buskers performing. Being outside with many tourists walking by might not be for everyone though, so do consider that when choosing your seating.

Didn't order any food but grabbed some drinks at the bar. Wonderful decor & clean atmosphere! Bartender(s) were kind & very familiar with their menu. Drink prices were not tourist-taxed, which is nice for a local who works nearby. I'd love to visit again 😁

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

Coup de coeur pour ce resto de quartier qui allie bouffe d'exception & ambiance touristique.

Quelle belle découverte. Amateurs de cuisine péruvienne, vous y trouverez votre compte. En passant par les aranccinis au canard, la salade de pieuvre aux olives, arroz con mariscos, les drinks fait sur mesure par un barman qui connaît son affaire & un service impeccable, nous avons adoré notre soirée.
S'il petit bémol, le lomo saltado avec gnocchis dans une sauce fromagée, ça ne marche pas, de là 4 étoiles sur la cuisine. Ça goûte surtout la sauce au fromage, & le lomo saltado est complètement dénaturé, ce qui est bien dommage car c'est un plat emblématique de Lima. De tout ce que l'on a goûté, c'est le seul bémol, à mon goût & celui des invités qui nous ont accompagné.
Bref je recommande vivement ce restaurant qui vous fait voyager au coeur de la cuisine de lima avec une inspiration italienne.
Après le Tira Dito & le Chifa des mêmes propriétaires, nous avons été aussi charmés par le goût, l'ambiance & la qualité des plats servis.

Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the staff were also incredibly kind & welcoming. I enjoyed every bite of the dishes I tried, & the warm, inviting atmosphere made the entire experience even more enjoyable!

The staff is great, the food even better. Shoutout to Joseph & Megan.

Belle expérience! Nous avons essayé plusieurs petits plats délicieux de poisson, crevettes, calmars, etc.
Les cocktails de Joseph au bar étaient parfaits! Nous avons essayé le Pisco sour & un cocktail avec de la tequila.
La focaccia servie en accompagnement était délicieuse, un coup de coeur!
La clientèle est variée. Les prix sont raisonnables si l'on compare avec les autres restaurants du Vieux-Montréal & des environs.

Chaque plat était excellent, le service était très bien & le personnel très amical. On a pu prendre un dernier verre sans pression alors que tous les autres clients avaient quitté, sans se faire pousser vers la sortie & sans sentir qu'on dérangeait, pendant que le personnel faisait son closing.
Vraiment très sympa.

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!!
