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)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredible dining experience from A-Z. We went as a group of 5 & both the service & food were impeccable. We let the staff pick out the menu for us & we were not disappointed. All 14 dishes selected stood out from one another & nothing felt out of place. Great food, great wine, will be back.

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.
