"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."

Almost as disappointing as a server who doesn’t pay any attention to your needs, is a server that is overly friendly. Our server was very friendly to the extreme and really tried to sell us the appetizer - after which I caved in and went for. It was a shiitake ceviche and not only did it not taste all that great (way too much lemon, and raw shiitake did not do it for me at all) but the raw tarwi was a bit much on my digestive track as well. If you are a visitor avoid this dish is my recommendation! The mocktails were way too sweet, and disappointing for the price point. Our main dishes of risotto and chicken were all right, but not above average. The chicken was very juicy and cooked well but the crispy polenta was really dry and flavorless. My partner liked his risotto but it also wasn’t anything overly notable flavor wise - just all right. They have a great atmosphere and the decor was very interesting as as well as the views. It seems they have a clean kitchen and so you’re probably safe on any cooked dishes as a visitor. If you have to decide between “Ciccolina” and Gaston’s “Chicha” the later is definitely the better option.

This place! Please try it, you’ll not regret it. Reservations for dinner recommended but walk-in spaces for early dinner/lunch. Everything is well priced, beautifully presented, and served proper. We went tapas style and highly recommend the octopus and causa. It was the best octopus I have ever had.

I just want to mention couple of weird things we experienced here. They charged us 15sol for plain water. Actually we only had half cup of water each person, the waiter took the left water (I thought it is free). We were charged 10 sol for a big bottle of water at Pachapapa at another day. The most weird thing was they charged us 8 sol cover fee for napkin and table cover (?) for each person, see my bill. This is the first time in my life that I was charged for cover. The food is delicious, the service is great. The waiter gave extra plates for us to share the dishes. They explained the menu very patient and clearly. The atmosphere is great as well though the window seats do not have much view.

Food, service, and atmosphere were great here! Worth stopping by while you are in Cusco. My first time trying the guinea pig gyoza. I think it tastes like a rabbit. It was not bad.

I'll start with the positive... the food was very good and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. I'm giving it 3 stars solely because they charged me a "cover" charge per head. That just felt dirty when I got the bill and saw this extra charge. I would have happily paid more for our meals and drinks, rather than see this type of surcharge on my bill. It just felt cheap, dirty, and as if I was being taken advantage of at it came after the meal with the check with no mention of it prior to seating.

There are no cons to this restaurant. Food, service, and atmosphere were on point. We were also seated in the cutest table next to the window, with an amazing view. This is a must when visiting Cusco and make sure to reserve in advance. My favorite dish was the seafood risotto!

Easily the best meal I’ve had in Cuzco! The scallops and quail egg tapas were incredible and so was the seafood risotto. I’ve thought about it every night since and may have to return!

I really wanted to like Cicciolina but it fell short for me. Alpaca starter was only 4 slices of Alpaca. Squid ink was okay nothing spectacular. Ossobucco sauce was way too sweet and the walnuts in the dumplings were rancid. Service was excellent, ambience was cozy and the lemongrass ginger drink was good but the sweetness could be toned down a bit.
