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!

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.

I’m convinced most of the positive reviews here are fake.
Food: mediocre at best, prepared lazily. Worst ceviche I’ve ever had (salmon meat had gray spinal cuts in it; the salmon was cut into chunks of different sizes, and there was SO much of it. Brisket was again, random cuts of meat, some very dry and tough, and some tender. Steak was over cooked, dry, and tough. Everything was pretty bland and very salty. Not representative of good Peruvian food, which is a favorite of mine.
Service: the people were nice, but they were incredibly slow and indifferent. Nobody asked how the food was (I suspect they knew) and nobody asked if we wanted anything different.
Atmosphere: this place looks great and has fun interior: gives off young, beach, fun. Weird that they play jazz/classical covers of songs, it makes the place feel very unnecessarily formal. I think they could figure out an identity (fun, formal, casual), and edit the menu to match.
Pesca cuts too many corners, and you notice it. Bad restaurant, and bad representation of “Peruvian” cuisine.
A wonderful restaurant in New Canaan, CT! The food is different from the ordinary, and absolutely delicious! Well prepared cocktails add to your enjoyment there! Nice atmosphere, and a great waitstaff!!

I had never tried Peruvian food before, I think trying it here for the first time was the best choice!
Now Peruvian food is in my top foods in the world!

What a great addition to New Canaan! The staff was incredibly kind and everything from the drinks to the dessert was out of this world. We got the sliders, shrimp appetizer, steak kabobs and chicken main entree and were blown away by the quality and presentation. We ended the night w the brownie. The ice cream and brownie were clearly homemade. We will be coming back soon!!
Delicious!
