Italian restaurants in Peru

  1. Chan Chan

    Run by Italian chef Udo, this Italian eatery has a cozy atmosphere and lots of bright, white, curving adobe walls smartly decorated with tasteful art. The food here is great, the pizzas look like the real, thin-crust deal and the service is very attentive – it’s well worth the splurge. Get here early for a breezy patio seat. To find it, look out for the palm-frond-concealed frontage.

    Restaurant Demarco

    Although this small bistro specializes in Italian food and crispy crust pizzas – if you read Italian, so much the better for deciphering the extensive menu – they have mouth-watering chupe de camarones, a seafood stew of jumbo shrimp simmering in a buttery broth with hints of garlic, cumin and oregano. The desserts are excellent, from classic tiramisu to mile-high tres leches (a spongy cake made with evaporated milk).

    Trattoria San Seferino

    Yet another Italian eating place, this time a trattoria specializing in hearty country fare. Bife de chorizo - similar to a New York strip steak, but bigger - is popular, as is the unusual dishes of potted duck and green risotto with homemade pesto.

    La Trattoria di Mambrino

    One of the top Italian restaurants in town, whose kitchen is overseen by Ugo Plevisani and his wife, Sandra, this white-tablecloth spot has traditional house-made pastas (think: ravioli stuffed with veal and porcini) as well as delectable gnocchi.

    La Glorietta

    Just off the Diagonal, the tiny Pasaje Juan Figari – nicknamed Pizza Street – is cluttered with pizzerias, each of which look and taste much like the other. La Glorietta is one of the better joints, with decent pies laden with fresh garlic.

    Punto Italiano

    Italian cuisine with a Sardinian twist is dished up at this homey trattoria. The handmade ravioli are locally renowned while the carne tagliata (veal with tagliatelle) with Sardinian cheese is divine.

    Quattro D

    A bustling cafe that serves hot pressed sandwiches, pasta and other dishes, in addition to a diabetes-inducing assortment of sweets and Italian ice cream (including a few sugar-free flavors).

    A longtime Italian spot with a nouveau-rustic air serves wood-fired pizza, as well as savory concoctions such as fresh ravioli stuffed with crab and tender osso buco with creamy polenta.

  9. Restaurant Venezia

    In a new location about 2.5km south of the town center, Venezia is a popular family-run Italian restaurant. Allow plenty of time, as all plates are made fresh upon ordering.
