Amazing and flavorful food as always !! Party of 3 We had the trio ceviche, and calamari as our app great size portions. We even had enough to take some home. For our entree- we shared the pulpo (my husband and my go to every damn time) and the flavors are so perfect. We also shared the lomo a Peruvian staple and the lomo was also so flavorful. We shared the flan and churro for dessert. Every flavor of sauce Julio makes I wish I could bottle up and take home. Such a little gem in Norwich. Thank you Julio. And Elena your are a rockstar too. Thanks for your amazing margaritas and recommendations. We appreciate you both. Lisa & Nick

We love this restaurant! Impeccable service, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere. We had a variety of dishes. Empanadas to start. 2 are plenty for 4 people to share. Burger, Jalesca, Thre pesto pasta w/chicken, and the roast 1/2 chicken with yucca fries and salad. Pistachio cake to finish it all off. Every dish was delicious, prepared and served with care. Can't wait to go back.

This was my our visit to Canaggio's and it was for a New Year's Eve Peruvian dinner. It was a standout experience. The restaurant's intimate setting immediately set the tone for a warm and welcoming evening. The ambience struck a lovely balance—elevated yet relaxed, perfect for a celebratory night without feeling rushed or crowded. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every staff member we encountered was polite, courteous, and genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. Their timing and professionalism added so much to the overall experience. One of the most unique and enjoyable aspects of the evening was the open kitchen. Watching the chef prepare each dish in real time brought an energy and authenticity that you don't often find. The light kitchen chatter between the chef and staff felt like being let in on the behind-the-scenes magic rather than a distraction—an unexpectedly charming touch. Each course was prepared to order, which meant a slower, more intentional pace to the meal. It gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy conversation with our table guests and savor each dish without feeling hurried. The entire evening felt thoughtfully curated, from the food to the flow. A wonderful first visit—and a memorable way to welcome the New Year. I'm already looking forward to returning.

The food is fantastic; the flavors are perfectly balanced. Portions were large, which made it great for tasting , bring friends who are okay with that as there are so many choices. Eliana, was wonderful with explaining each item and making suggestions based on named preference. Ask for recommendations for wine pairing, they hit every note correctly

If in the Norwich Area Canggio is a must dine option. My wife and I are currently working our way thru their menu. The brunch options are so tasty, delicious and life changing. On Christmas Day I went with the Mushroom and chicken crepe. It was the beginning of some legendary Christmas Day decisions. We have eaten here many times and the food is always quite honestly legendary. The kind of place you plan your next outing before you finish your meal.

We had a fabulous dinner here before going to a show at Foxwoods. Friendly service that was attentive and efficient. Delicious meals were served hot with quality preparation. The grilled flank steak was tender and seasoned right served over a bed of rice with onions. Ambiance was updated and modern. A bit drafty when the door was opened, especially sitting close to the entrance. I would return again when in the area.

Wonderful find! We were attending the Sting concert at Mohegan Sun and were honestly struggled to find a restaurant at the casino. We made reservations and were seated right away. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we followed their recommendations on a few items. The calamari was the best we ever had and we live in Rhode Island :). They even brought complimentary champagne as it was our anniversary. Highly recommend!

THE. BEST. OCTOPUS. EVER. If your tastebuds are a fan of flavor and authenticity.... GET TO CANGGIO. This was the best meal my husband and I have had in years. The entire hour and a half we were seated was filled with conversation about nothing but the flavors of the course in front of us. Get here; ask questions; explore the menu. Simply wonderful. The hospitality... the food... experience it as soon as you can. You'll be sad you didn't discover it earlier.
