A short one-block stroll from the Plaza de Armas, Cicciolina is arguably the best restaurant in Cusco. Tucked up on a side street, the atmosphere is great for a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends. The style of the food is a creative fusion of Italian and Peruvian, using traditional South American ingredients like quinoa and alpaca steak. They also have a very nice selection of wines from Peru, Argentina and Chile. When the plates come out, the food is arranged like a work of art. It’s almost a shame to eat the beautifully designed meals. Our appetizer was 4 polenta squares wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with a reduced balsamic, which turned out to be one of the most creative and delicious dishes I’ve tried. For the main course, we ordered golden beet ravioli with a pesto sauce, as well as a tagliatelle with sautéed Mediterranean vegetables. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.

Also run by the same owners, Baco Wine Bar comes highly recommended: http://www.cicciolinacuzco.com/english/baco_location.html
