La Bodega 138

We ate here for lunch and the food & drinks were absolutely fantastic! As soon as we were seated, staff came over with garlic bread and a mix of sauces & olives which was great while you wait for your food. We ordered the grilled steak & gnocchi, I asked for Medium, it came perfect. The Gnocci was fresh and homemade, the pizza was thin, wood fired and probably the best pizza we have eaten. We had the smoked chorizo one which you could really taste the smokey flavours. If you're from the UK, I recommend ordering the Coconut lemonade (1st pic) as it tastes exactly like the Twister ice cream in the UK, so good I had two!

Culinary highlight of Cusco. Steps off the square, this gem was worth the extra block walk. We came for the pizza, but the fresh Peruvian ingredients, wine and beer were a true standout of our meal. Incredible service, speedy kitchen, and extensive menu make La Bodega worth a second visit on our short trip. Modern art on the walls with a fun upbeat atmosphere, this is truly a Cusco can’t-miss.

After a long day hiking Rainbow Mountain (a must-do!), we were craving something simple like pizza. Our hotel receptionist recommended La Bodega 182 as the best pizza spot in Cusco within walking distance—and it did not disappoint. Just a few minutes from Plaza de Armas, our first impression upon arriving was the vibrant atmosphere. The place was buzzing with energy: happy servers moving quickly, customers chatting, and an overall sense of lively, organized chaos. It immediately made us want to be part of it! The host welcomed us warmly and made sure we were happy with our seats. We chose a table by the bar, where you can watch the cooks prepare pizzas—always a good sign. Although the restaurant has a spacious second floor, sitting near the action added to the fun. I ordered the spinach and ricotta ravioli, and they were absolutely incredible—the best I’ve had in years. My friend went for a pizza, which was just as impressive: thin, delicate crust, fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced flavors. The best part is that you can split one pizza into two different varieties, making it easier to choose from their amazing selection. The service was quick and friendly, and we loved the garlic bread served with two flavorful dips. I highly recommend La Bodega 182 to anyone looking for fantastic pizza or pasta in Cusco. A lively atmosphere, great food, and excellent service—you can’t go wrong here!

I am going to do a rare thing and rate a restaurant while I am still eating. Bottom line, this is one of the best calzones I have ever had (and I’ve had plenty). I tried their local one, with Peruvian steak, red onions, fresh tomatoes and cheese. Wow. Tender beef and nice quality ingredients. I used the tomato salsa provided with the bread to dip as they did not offer marinara on the side. The pizza also looked good (super thin crust style). The beer and wine offerings were extensive, with local and Belgian beers on offer. Service was friendly and professional. They were smashed with big group just as I arrived, and the waiter told me my order would be delayed by 20 minutes. It arrived in about 21 minutes. Well done. In the meantime they kept me happy with a WiFi password and excellent garlic bread. Overall a place definitely worth visiting, especially given its location at 3400m above sea level. Try making decent pizza dough at that altitude.

The food and drinks here was phenomenal!! The fresh garlic bread with a spread that they bring out was so good we asked for more. The carbonara pasta was perfect, along with the chimichuri pizza. All for such reasonable prices and amazing service.

La Bodega 138 in Cusco is cozy and welcoming. The tomato soup is rich and comforting, while the chicken soup is hearty and homemade—perfect on a chilly day. A great spot for a warm, satisfying meal. Yvan was an amazing server!

Food was fantastically tasty and service was efficient and friendly!!! We came back several times for several different dishes. Pizza was yummy and pasta as well!

Very very good. We got a salad and medium pizza which was perfect for 2 people. Despite like 6 servers milling about and we had to wait a few mins to get attention to order and to pay our bill but the servers were all super friendly. Will go again to try the pasta!
