A nice little place for some good Italian style food. The food is pretty tasty and has good flavour. The menu allows you to choose from set dishes or to pick your own pasta and ingredients to make your own. This is what we did. The beef tenderloin was good but I think I only had 3-4 pieces which is not a lot for 4.5 SOL extra. I also paid 6 SOL for the grande pasta portion but I still found the portion small. Maybe this is just me being greedy! The staff were really friendly and helpful as we found the menu a bit tricky. The prices are good but not the cheapest.

Delicious pasta to your own taste. You can decide to build your own pasta or to take one of the chef's pasta's. First you get a nice salad with fresh vegetables, and some finger licking garlic bread. I took a tagliatelle with tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and minced meat. The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente and I ate every last bit of the sauce, which was heavenly. My boyfriend took the chef's special carbonara, which had the tastiest bacon cubes and a very creamy sauce. Our waiter Margot was very nice.

Todo bien hasta que probamos la comida. Llegamos super recomendados y con un inmenso antojo de comer una buena pasta, el local es bellísimo, nos sentamos en la nueva área que tienen y nos atendieron rápidamente, aunque los mozos estaban cada uno más nervioso que el otro, vimos como atendían mesas mientras esperábamos. Incluso vimos como le armaron a una mesa un plato en un molde gigante de queso! Nos invitaron pan al ajo para esperar y creo que por error nos dieron doble pero no nos íbamos a quejar por eso, hasta que llegó la comida. Las fotos increíbles, pero le di un bocado y mis ravioles estaban duros e insípidos. Tan insípidos que no lo podía creer, pero mi queja vino cuando abrí otro raviol para ver el punto de cocción y vi una clara línea blanca (nada delgada) que demostraba que a mi pasta le faltaba cocción. Hice el reclamo y me cambiaron el plato, lo cual demoró unos 20 minutos o más. Mientras tuvimos que compartir la otra pasta que pedimos; un tagliatelle con pesto, nuevamente insípido pero el hambre pudo más. Cuando llegó el plato supuestamente corregido, llegó peor que antes, no estaba crudo pero estaba tan sobrecocido que se habían desarmado varios ravioles y el relleno no podía estar más chicloso, duró y más insípidos que antes ya que se había aguado en la preparación. Dejé el plato casi completo y solo me pidieron perdón pero no me hicieron ninguna modificación a la cuenta, la cual salia bastante por un par de platos de pasta mal hechos. Decepcionado nos fuimos a llenar el estómago en una esquina comiendo caparinas.

Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. Pasta is made fresh every day and you have full customisation over your dish. This hearty food is exactly what I needed to acclimatise to the altitude of the city. It was also incredibly cheap at 25SL for a garlic bread starter, pasta main and side salad. In terms of quality/cost this place is unbeatable. The service was a bit slow for us and the restaurant is on the small side, but these are entirely minor problems and should not be a reason to not visit.

The place is very cute, the staff is very nice and speaks good english. Really good level of service compared to other places in Peru. And the food is amazing ! When you order pastas, you have a salad for stater, it was so fresh ! With great bread -and I’m saying this as a french girl, I know what I’m talking about-. Then the pastas were great. We took one pesto and one tomato. Both were amazing. There was plenty of food, I couldn’t finish the regular portion. Warmly recommand this place !

It’s not often I leave restaurant reviews, but the food in here is fantastic. It’s pissing it down with rain outside, but my belly is full of chicken and broccoli tagliatelle in awesome white sauce. It even includes a side of delicious bread and a salad. You can watch the chefs make the pasta by hand, and the setting is ideal. I would’ve given it five stars, but they’d run out of dish of the day, which I’m sure would’ve been amazing. All this for 20 sols! What a great place!
