Don Marcelo - Cusco

I went to this restaurant tonight with a friend for reasonably priced Italian food. We were both happy to see a Free WiFi' sticker on the door, but were disappointed when our phones were unable to connect to the WiFi. If this is a service...you are going to advertise, it should be good quality WiFi. We also felt that the organisation in the restaurant could be greatly improved; one place at our table for two wasn't set when we sat down, our drinks arrived at different times (mine after receiving our food) despite ordering at the same time, we weren't automatically offered the dessert menu or the bill after our plates were cleared and I had to call a waiter over after a while. My friend also pointed out that all the pisco sours she could see that had been ordered by customers were served in different glasses. Although my ravioli pomodoro was fairly pleasant, the presentation was a bit lacking. The restaurant uses bowls with wide rims for pasta which highlighted the spots of sauce and grease which could easily be fixed by wiping the bowl before sending it out. Also, the parmesan used was clearly not freshly grated as it was all clumped together. Some of the staff seemed to struggle with English which I would say is fairly essential in a touristy establishment in the main square. However, the interior was very nicely decorated and our pasta dishes arrived very fast. But I would conclude that it wasn't up to the standard I would expect of a restaurant in the main square.

Very busy, lucky to get a table for dinner. Atmosphere vibrant with good pizza, beers and wine. Waiting staff friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced for this tourist area.

After galloping all over Cusco, this is a place where we landed for dinner. We got very lucky. The wait staff (Ines) was very good. The grilled trout and chicken tasted delicious and the vegetable side and red Peruvian hot sauce were also very good....Thank you for the great dinner.

I came in yesterday and had great service from Alejandrina. I had the Tomato soup and bread to start which was excellent. I went with the Hawaiian pizza and it was great as well. I mean it’s not the best pizza I’ve had but it...was the best I’ve had in South America. Take that as you will. Haha. So I decided to come again tonight since last night was great. I went with the Tomato soup because it is a good one. This time I tried the chicken sandwich and it was perfectly made. Some of the best food I’ve had in Peru. The service tonight was anything but great. It took forever to be greeted and when I was it was by Alejandrina, the great waitress I had last night. Literally the ONLY thing my waitress did tonight was brin my entree which she just through down even though it was wrong. I had to get up and ask for bread and again for condiments for my sandwich. Thankfully Alejandrina brought the pepper for me because my waitress did not. She didn’t even ask if I wanted anything to drink. Alejandrina did check and see if I needed a drink half way through my meal but by then I was already just about done. So if you come to this restaurant make sure you ask for Alejandrina as she is the only good server they have. Thanks again Alejandrina!

My husband and I have eaten here several times in the month we've been in Cusco. We enjoyed the pizza, pasta and salads. The servers are friendly and efficient and the food is well prepared and flavorful. Nothing fancy, but a nice atmosphere and good...food.
