Pizzeria La Nonna — Restaurant in Distrito de Cusco

Incredible little family run restaurant! So if you are staying in the area you will not be dissapointed! We returned again on another occassion and met others who were doing the same.

Location - easy to find and when you get there press the buzzer to be let in (really like this as its like a secret place)

Enviroment - maybe 8ish tables so its small but this makes it a great place to go and makes for a more cosy atmosphere. 3 tables outside on the patio which is surrounded by plants, the rest are inside. Quiet area.

Owners - absolutly loverly people who speak some English too! They made us feel so welcome and part of the family.

Food - great menu choices from freshly made pizzas (even spotted them rolling out the dough etc), pastas and more. All beautifully presented and super tasty. Genuine home cooking here! They even do takeaway

Prices - really competitive and much cheaper than the central area. We tipped well as this is a small family business.

Additional notes - if you are lucky you may get to meet some of their cats. We arrived midday on their early open and got to spend some time with 3 of them. Made it for us as we love cats. However dont worry if you dont like these fluff balls as they are kept away on the evenings ... I think we just got lucky!

Summary - if you're in the area pay them a visit! Top notch food, great price and...

Such a beautiful restaurant. A wife and her husband make the pizzas fresh to order on the back, no frozen stuff here. Absolutely delicious, and such a great atmosphere. It’s a cozy restaurant, very family oriented, and you can tell that all your food is made with love. The owner lady (I sadly forgot her name) was very sweet, and they have a black fluffy cat named Salem that chills out with you inside, and is a very friendly cat. Very cute. Prices were so cheap, and we felt to tip generously because the experience was just so delightful. Do not come here if you’re in a rush. This restaurant is meant for a cozy, no-rush, casual lunch or dinner spot, where conversations lead the dinner. The food is just a great side bonus. Absolutely charming place. If me and my family are ever in Cusco again we will definitely be back. And yes, the...

Carmen, the owner, was so lovely! We found this place based on reviews and was so glad we did. We enjoyed their garlic bread and caprese pizza. Definitely satisfied our cravings. The pizza was so delicious and crunchy, and the garlic bread was paired with this caramelized onion and mild sauce. So good that we also put it on the pizza after Carmen asked if we wanted more of it. The atmosphere is like a chill family home with a nice balcony you can sit in surrounded by plants.

Carmen said their business has been on for 3 years but really only the last year due to the pandemic. She's warm and hospitable, and speaks English.

Highly recommend walking out of the historic center and taking some time exploring this area and grab some delicious food here! Will definitely go back to try a different dish :)
