Excellent, carefully prepared food, exceptional service, and Peruvian dishes with meat or fish. The place isn't fancy, but it's a pleasant place to be.

I've known and frequented this restaurant for many years. It's been a while since I've been here since I no longer work in Varese, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised, both by the new look of the tables and the restaurant in general. Most importantly, the deliciousness of my favorite dishes, like the grilled chicken with sauces and the salci papa, have remained the same. The Latin music in the background is pleasant but not deafening, and Angelica's hospitality is always delightful. I'll be back as soon as possible, but I highly recommend you try it as soon as you can.

The food is very homemade, very delicious, a really good chaufa, and the papa a la huancaina is also super delicious... the girl who served us was very friendly. The daily menu is quite homemade, not much. But it's very good.

If you want to eat good Peruvian food, this is one of the best places in the area, both for the friendly staff, the generous portions like in South America, and the speed of service. Highly recommended, arroz chaufa is always a must!

Very good Latin restaurant, with typical dishes from Peru. The dishes are large and tasty, and there is a variety of fish, meat, starters and soups. Recommended!

A simple family restaurant with south American cuisine. The food was tasty, with big portions and reasonable prices. Friendly service and easy going atmosphere. However we were slightly disappointed by the fact that many of the choices on the menu were not available.

A good Peruvian restaurant for those who like this type of food. The atmosphere is very relaxed, as is the service. Traditional Andean dishes are reasonably priced. The place could reflect the owners' country of origin more, but this is offset by ample parking outside, which isn't exclusive but is often available. The fried bananas, both sweet (so to speak) and savory, and the fish ceviche (I hope that's how it's spelled. It's their soup, anyway) are worth a mention, as is the chicken served in a thousand different ways. Be careful of the spiciness, for those with delicate palates like mine. A good, reasonably priced alternative.

Familiar Peruvian restaurant. Food is very ok, no surprises, exotic enough to get interested to go there sometimes. Economic and original (for Varese standards)

Disappointing experience. They're sneaky with customers and unclear. After a very long wait, my dish finally arrived, but they pretended nothing had happened and served me something different than what I'd asked for. When I pointed this out, the waitress told me they'd fix it right away. I waited a long time longer, and then the waitress came and told us the kitchen had decided not to prepare it anymore. If an ingredient is missing or they don't want to prepare a dish, just say so; why fool customers by implying otherwise? In the end, they gave me something I hadn't asked for, and I didn't even like it, but I still had to pay.

We've been guests at this restaurant often, and I must say that, reluctantly, I'm forced to downgrade my rating. The food has become increasingly poor, the service is rude and very slow, it almost seems like they're bothering the customers. Last time, we hosted a birthday party there, and the owners didn't honor their previous agreements.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for celebrating a family reunion. The service is very slow, and it's difficult to find parking. The owner doesn't accept music at medium volume for any type of celebration, whether it's a formality or a birthday party. The owner promises you one thing at the beginning, then immediately forbids you, despite having made many agreements. They hired one waitress for 75 people, so the guests started serving and clearing the table. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone at all. I recommend making a written agreement, not a verbal one, because the owner doesn't honor verbal agreements.

Total disappointment... If you're planning a private party, I don't recommend it. We organized an 18th birthday party, but the owner didn't honor the agreement. Service for 65 people with just one waiter, terrible, subpar food, and they didn't want music when they'd been told it would be there from the beginning. Otherwise, what kind of party is it? In short, they kicked us out at 10:00 PM, ruining our party... The owner isn't true to her word and isn't very serious. I strongly advise against it, and I'll never set foot in there again.

We went to celebrate a birthday. The owner didn't honor the agreement we had made. The service was very poor, since there was only one waitress for 80 people, so we, the guests, had to step in to serve and clear the plates. Furthermore, the owner added other guests who weren't part of the party, even though the agreement was that the place would be reserved exclusively for the party. This made us feel uncomfortable, as we didn't have room to seat the other guests. I don't recommend the restaurant for a party, because you can't even put on music for dancing. In short: terrible service, as well as the hospitality. This is for large parties.
