I don’t know why anyone would not think this isn’t the best restaurant locally. The food (which I consider foremost when dining out) is wonderful/fabulous consistently, the service is flawless. Some might say the ‘decor’ or ‘ambiance’ were less than the best, but for most normal people this place has a perfect balance of fancy and accessible, and so I say perfect. A point of note: while this place has ‘buzz’ it is arranged so you can hear your table-mates. If you don’t just love this place there is something wrong with you because it is just about perfect
Small bites perfect for date night. Best Peruvian food in the entire state.

I think it's a rip-off! There's barely half a chicken, it's salty, and the salad has absolutely nothing in it! If you can't provide good service, don't sell food!

This is a solid 3.5 star restaurant taking the food into 100% consideration. The service was great, our waitress was attentive. Refilling our water often, promptly removing plates and dishes. Excellent service, no complaints. The food. We had Parm. Oysters., they were OK. Not sizzling hot like I've had in other places. Flavor was okay. Grilled Octopus, delicious! Very tender. Flavorful but the rest of the chorizo mix it came with felt super salty. We had 3 different empanadas but they were disappointing and lacking flavor. Islandic Cod, felt like Trader Joe's lobster bisque with a piece of fish thrown in it. Seco de Carne and Lomo Saltado, they were just okay. Nothing great. One was very salty. On the plus side, the yuca fries were good and the rice was also good. I cannot see myself coming back again but I am glad to have tried it. Overall, I felt like it lacked authenticity and the flavors were just not popping thru. Most of us could just taste salt as the main condiment.

Mia and I were in New Canaan today, and decided to have lunch at Pesca Peruvian Bistro. It was a lovely lunch. Wilson welcomed us into the restaurant and provided great service! We both had the Express Lunch option including two courses. Mia had the spicy pork empanada and the grilled chicken a lo pobre. She loved it, and was thrilled with the sweet plantains! I had the mushroom and kale empanada and the spinach and grilled shrimp salad. We were thrilled and can't wait to visit again when we're back in the area!

We had a pretty long wait, but my chicken kebabs were amazing.
First time here and I was impressed with Pesca. Great service, everyone was super friendly and attentive. The food was deliciously packed with real Peruvian flavors. I was glad to have huancaína served as a dip for my appetizers 💛💛💛. As an entree I had Seafood Parihuela which was perfect! And then I also tried the Cod, also a great choice.
I highly recommend Pesca! Can’t wait to go back

Hubby and I grabbed lunch here on a little impromptu date. The restaurant itself is situated in a half basement situation where the other side is Ground level and has outdoor seating. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable but classy. There is plenty of seating and there is even a bar that you could sit at if you prefer. We went during a bit off peak so there weren't too many people there but we could see this place being popular. The safe was friendly and accommodating to food allergies and was careful to double-check with the kitchen to ensure my meal was safe for me to eat. We ended up ordering the paella and arroz chaufa, both were delicious and had decent portions for a decent price. They serve pre-fix lunch specials during the weekdays for lunchtime for about $25 a person, which we hope to come back and try. They seem to also host parties since as we were leaving people were coming in to set up for some kind of birthday party or something. Overall we had a fantastic meal and experience and will be looking forward to eating here again.
