    Beautiful sharable paella
    Jan T.

    My husband and I shared the Truffle Yuca Fries and Paella, which were delicious and satisfying. The ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant, nicely decorated. The staff is very attentive and you'll be welcomed with smiles all around. We stopped on the way back from Taliesin East to Madison on our vacation/work trip. Unfortunately, we don't get food like this at home in Southern California.

    Causa trio and beef empanada. - A variety of Peruvian foods are displayed, including causa, beef empanada, and side salads, with a drink in a decorative glass on a rustic wooden table.

    The best Peruvian food in Madison. The sauces are very delicate and flavorful. Well planned menu. I had two appetizers. Causa and empanadas. The service is fantastic. If you are not familiar with Peruvian cuisine, be curious and try it.

    We came here for the first time on our anniversary, very risky! So glad we did. Absolutely delicious food, I had the seafood paella sort of dish. It was fantastic, everything is SO flavorful and the drinks were also delicious with a great presentation. Full bar. So impressed with the food and beautiful ambiance. The service was also fantastic. Recommending it to all my friends.

    A little overpriced for how much protein there is, maybe lunch menu is more worth it. Perhaps the reason why not many people were dining. Unsteady use of salt, but otherwise great food.

    Maracuyá sours - Two glasses of maracuyá sour cocktails are placed on a restaurant table with a menu and bar area in the background.

    As Peruvian I can tell you this restaurant is the best in the area. Flavors are authentic, each visit is a wonderful experience. You won't be disappointed.

    Lomo saltado - A dish featuring white rice, beef chunks, a tomato, and French fries, served in a black bowl, with vegetables and a drink in the background.

    The best Peruvian food in Madison! We visited for the first time this week. It was so good, we went back the next day for dinner. The whole experience was exceptional. We had the ceviche mixto, truffle yuca fries, lomo saltado, and the mariscada. And for dessert, they had a special and we also had the flan. Everything was so delicious. We look forward to returning soon.

    See all

    Second visit -- first time at the new location -- and unfortunately a disappointing one. I was…read moregenuinely excited to bring a friend and support a local spot I've enjoyed in the past. The décor and overall aesthetic are lovely, but the food and service didn't come close to matching the first time. The biggest issue was temperature. Majority of food on the plate was not hot and not warm -- not the chicken, not the rice, not the beans. At the previous location, you could see the chickens roasting on the spit, and the food arrived hot and fresh. Here, I'm not sure what's happening behind the scenes, but the food temps indicate it had all been sitting. The only item that was freshly prepared were the plantains. I didn't bring it up to the server because she was checked out the entire time, and honestly, I can't expect her to remedy the kitchen if she can't bring waters. Why is the kitchen sending out food that clearly isn't hot? Is it being held in a steamer? If so the temps are not being checked and that becomes a food safety issue beyond quality‑control issues. Service itself also missed the mark. The pretty glasses are small -- though pretty-- and I had to flag the server down for refills. Same with the sauces that are supposed to come with the meal; they only arrived after I asked. To be clear it was 1:00 on a Monday and there was one other table in the place at arrival, and one table after our arrival. I had been planning another visit to introduce a different friend, but after this experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I hope things improve, because the new space deserves better execution than what's currently coming out of the kitchen.

The owner came by and gave us each a small cilantro soup as a freebie (which who doesn't like a little freebie?) :) My wife and I liked the atmosphere and found the prices reasonable. If you are looking for a nice casual small restaurant to have a lunch...highly recommend Pikkito.

We arrived and were told it would be about a 20 minute wait, which we were totally fine with. We understand Valentine's Day is a crazy busy night. 40 minutes later, we were seated. Multiple people walked past us and didn't greet us. People sat after us were greeted and their drink orders were taken. We waited 25 minutes at our table without anyone greeting us, without water or drinks. We thought maybe there was a misunderstanding on who was serving us so we politely informed the manager that we had been waiting 25 minutes. 10 minutes later, still no one came by and so unfortunately we decided to leave. Overall, really disappointed with the communication. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes total past our reservation time. It's not the servers fault, they were obviously overbooked and understaffed. Hopefully they can work through this for future Valentines Day's.

I ordered the Artichoke Spinach Dip, and Chicken Tetrazzini that came with a Caesar side salad. Portions are very generous and I wound up bringing half the tetrazzini back to my room for later. Speaking of, I've not had tetrazzini this good since my grandma last made it YEARS ago. Service is amazing, my waitress was very attentive, and the decor & lighting were just right. Would return if I ever come back out this way.
