Osteria 'Na Cosetta - Barranco

A small restaurant in the heart of Lima, Barranco: good quality, beautiful atmosphere! On the walls old pictures in black and white of Civitavecchia (the port of Rome), the city of origin of Guido. The greeting with Mozzarelin and Brüschette made me feel for a while in Italy! Spaghetti with octopus and cheese with sun-dried tomatoes....absolutely recommended!

Although the service was good, the food in this restaurant is roughly too expensive for quality. I ordered the Pesto Pasta and it had no special taste. There were only alcoholic drinks and soda available, no juices! An appetizer of bread slices with different beats is provided, but it does not taste fresh. I went with 3 other people and no one was particularly impressed by their records (everybody got something else) and everything was true that it was overpriced. The ambience could have been much better. It looks like it's beautiful and romantic from the outside, but the interior is cramped with bright lights. Candles would have been nice on the tables and dimmer lighting. There was also a pulsating sound every few minutes that we couldn't identify and no music. Overall a bad experience. I don't recommend it. If you are looking for Italian food, find it somewhere else.

Buena comida italiana en el corazón de Barranco. Ambiente tranquilo y acogedor. Los precios eso sí son un poco elevados pero era para probar algo nuevo.

La verdad es que fui por recomendación de una amiga, el local y el ambiente son buenos, tranquilos, modernos, hay una gran variedad de vinos, y bueno la comida, que es lo que nos importa es buena; sin embargo; los peruanos estamos acostumbrados a que las salsas tengan un toque más sutil, pero estas cremas son al puro estilo italiano, lo que no es malo, pero a mi gusto no fue lo esperado.

Se trata de platillos caseros con la sazón tradicional de Roma. En otras palabras: el pesto puede ahuyentar al comensal acostumbrado a la versión criolla de esta salsa pero alguien que desee un sabor fidedigno se dará por satisfecho. Tip: la carbonara es, probablemente, la mejor de Lima y creo que cualquiera (local o foráneo) la podría disfrutar. Lugar sencillo pero muy agradable, totalmente recomendable.
