"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."

This is a MUST stop in Cusco and worth every dollar. Reservations are a must and don’t get it confused with the cafe shop! Our taxi dropped us off their but it’s a 3 min walk. The presentation of everything was as good as it tasted! I would come back again in a heartbeat!

I recently had the opportunity to visit a wonderful restaurant in Peru, and I can wholeheartedly say it was an unforgettable experience. The place is simply delightful, exuding a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing evening. I was impressed by the tranquility of the place, which allowed me to completely disconnect and enjoy the moment.
The pleasant atmosphere was complemented by impeccable service. The staff was extremely kind and attentive to detail, ensuring that our every need was met. And the food... simply delicious! Each dish was an explosion of flavors, prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients.
In conclusion, this restaurant is a place where I had a special culinary and sensory experience. I definitely want to return as soon as possible to enjoy this oasis of good taste and relaxation again.

In the midst of all the tourist driven concepts, Cicciolina stands out above the crowd.
Our sever was top class, what you’d expect in Toronto or New York.
Our food, the BBQ octopus, Amazon River Fish, handmade tagliatelle, and quinoa salad with prawns were all amazing.
Bonus points for the alcohol free cocktails. The strawberry and blueberry ones really hit the mark! 10/10

May be my new favourite restaurante in Cuzco! Food is very good, service was ok. A little dark and noisy, but the place is smallish and it’s clear they put food quality high on their priorities. I highly recommend it!

Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Unique flavors, incredible service and very accommodating to allergies. Our sever, Jason, gave us an unforgettable experience. Muchas gracias!

Some of the best food I’ve had in my life. I went straight for the specials and didn’t look at the rest of the menu. Recommend the pisco mule. The dessert was small but had perfect flavorings. Service is extremely friendly and they spoke good English and let me practice my Spanish patiently.

This is a very popular restaurant in Cusco. I was not able to get a reservation, but walked in on a Saturday night at 8 PM and was seated about five minutes later. The Italian food was delicious, and the service was very attentive. I will go back the next time. I’m in Cusco.
