Cicciolina on Postcard

"One of the city’s top restaurants, Cicciolina offers Italian-style dishes with a Peruvian flair, such as quinoa-encrusted prawns and osso buco with pumpkin ravioli topped by local cheese and a touch of Andean mint. There’s plenty to choose from, including seafood, duck, beef, alpaca, chicken, and even a few vegetarian dishes, as well as perfectly done handmade pasta. You can pick from either the tapas or the full-restaurant menu in the bar area, but not the other way around, so you may want to go twice, as the tapas are fabulous, too. A great wine list and yummy desserts finish out options in a small, lovely venue. Reservations are a must."

Absolutely incredible. The food was just amazing. I had an alpaca steak and words do not do justice to how good it was. I celebrated my birthday here and they went all out with a brownie dessert! So good. Would highly recommend Cicciolina if you are in Cusco. Staff, all of them, not just our server, were super friendly and and a delight. Atmosphere was perfect: calm, quiet, and a perfect space to truly enjoy a meal of this caliber

If you’re reading this, you’re in Cusco, Peru looking for a place to dine. Do not CIRCLE away from Cicciolina, if you can get a reservation, don’t hesitate, even for lunch! I was able to make a lunch reservation and it was lusciously Peru, with a flare of spices that will WOW even the most discerning crowd. You will begin with perfectly toasted, baked fresh bread that accompanies a velvety tomato, garlic, rosemary and onion paste that melts in your mouth. This along with perfectly marinated olives with a hint of olive oil. However, I’m sure the menu changes regularly. If I could offer the service 10 stars, I would have!

Great atmosphere and vibe place, with service from staff were great. (In English as well). Food service right conditions or well cooked to perfection. Tried new dishes and we enjoyed our dinner and drinks here

Really good food! Both apetizers and main dishes are very good. We took the gnocchi, alpaca and the trucha and they were amazing, as well as the octopus. Everything with a very good red wine from Ica. The desserts can be improved

A beautiful cafe in Cusco. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here. We got cappuccino, pineapple smoothie, lemon mint soda, poached eggs, fat bread with eggs and basket of artisan bread. Everything was so delicious and fresh. I wish I could eat here everyday! Highly recommend.

One of the best, if not the best meal we had in Cusco! An extensive menu of options with exquisite flavours. Every dish was amazing! The staff are friendly and service is quick, you don’t have to wait a long time before your food arrives. I would highly, highly recommend this for a special night in Cusco or even to mark your last night in the city.

The restaurant in on the second floor of one of the old buildings with a central courtyard, with great local decoration creating a fantastic ambiance. The food was delicious, our first in Cusco and Peru, it didn’t disappoint (the trout ceviche was delicious). Attentive service.

I was recommended this place by a friend and wow I'm pleased she did..! I went online and it was fully booked for that evening ( no surprise) but I thought I would chance my arm and turn up as a sole dinner. I was greated with a big smile and offered a couple of spots on a table for 2 yes...! The atmosphere is amazing and I had a table over looking the kitchen area which was great to see the preparation and all the delicious food being served. The service is friendly professional and attentive and all the severs speak really good English and are fun. The food is exceptional...!!! And the flavours are sensational. An absolutley wonderful dinning experience and really recommend eating here...!!!
