"Ristorante Peruviano con ambiente familiare ad stile industriale, sala spaziosa e pulita. Aperto a mezzo giorno con piatti del giorno e alla carta, La sera solo con piatti alla carta. Il personale molto gentile e paziente sempre disposto a darti una mano per scegliere. Il servizio non è velocissimo ma i piatti sono freschi, buoni, saporiti e le porzioni sono abbondanti. limpiattamento é buono. I prezzi sono nella media. Dimenticavo… il locale è pet Friendly (chiamate per prenotare un tavolo un po’ in disparte così il vostro amico sarà più tranquillo ) Consigliato"

"Ottimo ristorante peruviano a Milano. Abbiamo molto gradito la modalità menù al sabato a pranzo. Cibo molto buono, prodotti di qualità e porzioni abbondanti. Unico aspetto negativo è l’attesa per i piatti."

"Conoscendo i sapori peruviani sono entrato in questo ristorante che mi aveva consigliato un'amica. Ho chiesto una Causa Rellena, e sono subito rimasto soddisfatto dalla porzione abbondante a 8€ . Ho chiesto anche una crema di rocoto molto profumata e una porzione di dolce Arroz con Leche e Mazamorra Morada per soli 5€. Il personale è stato gentile e premuroso con l'accoglienza e la velocità di servizio. Do 4 stelle perché tornerò sicuramente, vorrei provare ancora altri piatti!"
