The Food is great, but the service sucks. Man this can be a really great restaurant if they change management. I wonder if they'd be willing to sell? haha.

A Peruvian and Italian restaurant?Yes, it's true ... marriage combined these two cuisines and a great little restaurant stands as a consequence. Whether you want Gnocchi or Lomo Saltado, the food...

This place is legit (I only tried the lomo saltado though). I really liked it, it tasted good from start to finish, I could have used a little more saucy-ness, but you can't win them all, and I'll...

We went on a Tuesday night and there were only two other sets of diners. The service was really slow, especially to get water and the check. We even asked a couple of times for the check. I ended up asking at...

The food is OK, but if you don't want to wait 30 minutes for them to pick up the check, and another 30 minutes to bring it back, then this is not a place for you. The owners loved to talk to their friends and...

Peruvian and italian exactly! - an odd mix. Forget about how it looks like from the outside - the peruvian dish I got is good enough to break the Thai/Filipino/Hawaiian/Japanese/mexican monotony.
