I tried their Tuna Tartare. It was good in terms of quality, but I am deducting a star for the following reasons: 1. The crostini pairing, typically found with steak tartares, does not fare as well with its ocean counterpart. 2. The tartare was savoury, with balsamic and garlic hints. This was likely not as pleasant for me as I am used the the ponzu/soy Asian inspired tartares which most restaurants sell in a tuna variety. Just my 2 cents, still good quality food, and packaged nicely. All special instructions were followed as well.

We made a reservation for two at Nuna’s to enjoy their Winterlicious menu. Unfortunately, despite having a reservation for 7:30, we ended up waiting at the front for around 30 minutes before finally being seated at around 8:00. In our opinion, if a restaurant accepts reservations, tables should be ready upon the guests’ arrival. Additionally, current diners should be informed if a table is reserved for a specific time so they know when they need to leave.
Once we were seated, our waitress was extremely kind and offered helpful recommendations. While the food was decent, we especially enjoyed the beef short rib. However, we also noticed that the price of the Winterlicious menu wasn’t much different from their regular menu, which seemed a bit odd. Considering the long wait and overall experience, we found the quality-to-price ratio to be better at other restaurants for Winterlicious. Because of these factors, we don’t plan to return in the future.

We went here for a valentines dinner and everything was fantastic. The vibes as soon as you walk in are very cozy and romantic.
For food we have the 4 course special menu with, Scallops, Beef Carpaccio, Duck and Red Velvet cake. We loved the Beef Carpaccio so much, they gave us a complimentary plate.
The service at this place was excellent and I highly recommend anyone looking for a perfect date night, to visit here.

Tried the Winterlicious menu, and it was fantastic! The pisco sours were excellent, but the real standout was the pesto pasta. The chicken dish didn’t quite hit the mark for me, but the desserts were absolutely delightful. The cozy, charming ambiance makes it a spot worth recommending!

Checked out Nina recently for the Winterlicious menu, and it was so good! Came in to celebrate my bday, and enjoyed some refreshing Pisco mixed drinks and a great menu. Each stage got better and better. Have to try that soursop crocante dessert, my only complaint? I wanted more. The Pork Chaufa dish was scrumptious, and such a nice fusion of Latin and Japanese flavours. Chimichurri was phenomenal, great lunch and those yucca fries and the dipping sauce were so good. The chicha morada pisco was great. Great experience, the bartender and our server Laura were great!

Phenomenal Peruvian spot for a date night or a casual hangout with friend in a great neighborhood. The food is delicious and everything on the menu is worth, especially the grilled octopus, the short ribs, and the ceviche. Also worth mentioning the service is excellent and the staff is always attentive and friendly!

Tried this restaurant’s winterlicious today and got disappointed. My friend and I heard good reviews about Nuna’s winterlicious menu so we made sure we have to try it out. We entered the restaurant and we were led to our table. The server showed us where we can put our coats. We noticed that the spacing of each tables were very narrow that you can’t walked between the tables wearing your coat without touching someone or something on the table but because the atmosphere inside is nice, we didn’t mind this. Our server took our order. I asked the server information about the food and drinks to help us choose but she said she doesn’t know so we just chose what we think are good and after a few minutes, our appetizer came out. The shrimp was very good but the chicken one is meh. We were not done yet with the appetizer but the server came to collect our plates lol. Didn’t even ask first if we are done. There were still food on the plate but she took it away without asking. We just ignored this again and just got ready for our main dish. They brought the steak and the pork dish and they weren’t even warm when they served it. Steak was room temp to almost cold. We didn’t finish both of the dishes. They brought in the desserts and they were both way too sweet. The server keep checking on us how was the food, I think twice to thrice in every course which we think is too much. But during the dessert course, we haven’t even finished half of our dessert and she’s already offering us to box our food. Our reservation was until 1:30pm and it’s only 1pm and she’s already rushing us to finish. We got annoyed eventually and just asked for the bill. We still tipped generously despite the service we received. When we’re putting on our coats, the server pushed my friend and said “let me clean”. This is around 1:20pm. Food is alright but service? Bad is an understatement. Will never come back again. Don’t come here, it’s not worth your money.

Came here for winterlicious lunch. Value for money 5, we gave 4 stars because we feel winterlicious menu is not a true representation of their full potential. The server behind the bar chatted and served us throughout lunch and was very friendly. She gave us some insight into peruvian cuisine. We tried shrimp ajillo and chicken potato salad. The yellow chili sauce was really the star. We licked it clean! Steak chimiccuri was cooked properly and seasoned well. Yucca fries was soft inside yet crunchy outside. Probably better than regular fries. Pork belly with tamarind sauce fried rice was delicious. Tamarind sauce gave it a unique twist that complement the pork belly. Dessert was soursop crocante (soursop dulche del leche was a special twist), and lucuma chocolate cake. Overall, we really like the ambiance, experience, and food. Wouldn’t mind coming back if the distance is closer.

I ordered a shrimp risotto on Uber under the “Buy One, Get One Free deal” but the portion was small, it seems like they divided one portion into two.
