Pio Pio 8 Reviews
This chain was recommended to us by several Peruvian folks. We found it to be authentic cuisine at a quick, easy spot for a pre-theater casual dinner that serves generous portions of Peruvian food. It is easy to eat dairy-free here. We tried a variety of things in a quick dinner run before attending a Broadway show. Chicken soups were served in a generous portion with ample portions of meat, veggies and noodles with a broth that had delightful flavor not greasy at all! My partner...read full review
Great food and excellent service 👌
We sat upstairs so the atmosphere was much better than the loud downstairs dining room. All the food tastes great but they use a pretty small chicken for their rotisseries. The portions for the calamari and plantains was very good for the price. The service was absolutely splendid. I would recommend but you should know thst a half chicken is probably not enough for two people.

Pio Pio 8 is a restaurant that offers a good dining experience with friendly service. The waitstaff are attentive, checking on tables and ensuring water glasses are full. The food is authentic and tasty, with options like the Mixed Tiradito starter, which features a citrusy sauce with raw fish, octopus, and shrimp. The Arroz con Mariscos and Lomo saltado mains are popular choices, with the seafood rice being al dente and slightly spicy, and the beef tenderloin having a slight smoky flavor. The Peruvian chicken is highly recommended and often called the best chicken ever eaten by customers. The empanada de pollo is also large and delicious, making it a great value with leftovers for the next day. The restaurant has a family atmosphere with a bar serving various drinks. It extends to a decent-sized dining area downstairs with different seating options and simple, nice decor. Overall, Pio Pio 8 provides a good dining experience with quality food and friendly service. Despite some busy nights and occasional chaotic service, most guests enjoy the food and atmosphere.
