Being Italian, finding good pizza abroad is never easy, but the pizza here is truly fantastic, both in terms of the dough and the quality of the ingredients! The tiramisu, made fresh at your table, is also delicious!nHighly recommended if you want to try some Italian cuisine in Cusco!nCongratulations on the excellent restaurant you run!

Unfortunately we were disappointed. We had been looking forward to Italian food, but there was little that reminded us of this. In addition, they tried to bill for a drink that never came. The pizza was perfectly fine, but not Italian taste. Ravioli was probably enough to satisfy a small child.. amatriciana was unfortunately nothing that reminded us of Guanciale. Howling children screaming and chaos like no other. A small plus for the starter being good and the waiter being nice. Overpriced.
