    We wanted to try something a little bit different and I was so glad we did. The restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. If you walk in from the main door; you will have to go down a set of stairs to get to the dining area. They have a large full bar/dining area as well as an outdoor and indoor dining area. As soon as we got I. We were able to pick the table we wanted. The service was quick and efficient. For starters we had the pork belly sliders which were delicious. My girlfriend had the crispy skin while I did not. For our meal I had the pork Osso Bucco and my girlfriend had the arroz con pato (rice with duck). Both of our meals were cooked perfectly. It was so packed with flavor and the portions were rather large, enough for lunch the next day. For dessert we had the flan which was ok. We definitely enjoyed our dining experience and will go back to try other items on the menu.

    The food is excellent! The services were great I love the atmosphere, I'll definitely come back.

    baked oysters
    Curtis K.

    absolutely fantastic. i've been wanting to come here for a long time, came here tonight with my wife and our younger son. great pisco sour to start and we had their baked oysters to start, delicious. we had quinoa crusted tuna which was cooked perfect medium rare, beautiful presentation delicious sauce and perfectly cooked sweet potatoes. our son had the lomo saltado which was awesome. great place. the manager is from ecuador, chef is peruvian, setting is very nice too. absolutely love this place. my only quibble is that the flame presentation on the oysters creates an unappetizing smell - it's like they're using sterno, some lighter fluid that burns for a lot longer than a liquor and smells like nail polish which is very unappetizing. we took the oysters off that plate and then asked the waiters to take the flaming plate away.

    We were seated almost immediately after we arrived. Our waiter was super knowledgeable especially about ingredients in each of our orders given that we had a couple of allergies at our party of 3. The food is super delicious. Very well seasoned. The ceviche was especially fresh and light. I definitely recommend. The bathrooms are ADA and family accommodating. If you have a stroller or wheelchair, the downstairs entrance is preferable as the other entrance has stairs.

    Absolutely magnificent experience. The owner was over the top friendly and sincere. The outside seating was comfortable and pleasant. The presentation of all dishes was equal to any 5 star NYC restaurant. .....and the food was fresh and absolutely superb. Lots of different spices that went perfectly with all dishes. We started with two different empanadas that were each cooked perfectly and delicious. We had shrimp skewers, duck and yellowfin tuna entrees. All were equally to NYC 5 star restaurants as far as taste and presentation goes. This is must go restaurant and one we will most definitely return to. Oh, and the prices were extremely reasonable as well. A 5 star experience all the way.

    Peruvian Paella De Mariscos

    The food at Pesca was delicious! We started off with guacamole that came with plantain chips and a shrimp dish I can't remember the name of. The guac was fresh and the shrimp was in this super tasty broth. We then got the lomo saltado, seco de carne and Paella De Mariscos. I only tried the lomo saltado and seco de carne but wow did they not disappoint. Both dishes were super flavorful but I think I liked the seco de carne more as it had a richer deeper flavor than the lomo saltado. I also have to say that the peppers in the lomo saltado threw me off a little as it was something I'm not used to seeing in that particular dish. The ambiance of the restaurant was hard to judge as it was my group of 3 and 2 other tables of 2 during the day time. It was definitely quiet (haha) but the aesthetics were pretty normal. Didn't seem dirty or stuffy but had more of a fresh clean feel. Location is a little strange being right when you walk through the front door you need to walk down a flight of stairs to the restaurant but not much of a bother. Staff was nice and well informed on the dishes and what was inside of them. My bf is allergic to dairy so it was great that the waiter knew which dishes did and didn't have dairy in them. Overall was a very pleasant experience and would definitely come back.

    What a lovely place . It's like a hidden gem where you need to go down the stairs and you find this beautiful restaurant. It's vary spacious indoors with also a nice seating area outdoors as well. The color scheme, decoration is lovely! Our waiter was very nice. The menu was labeled with what can contain Gluten, Dairy, Shellfish or Nuts. We didn't start with any apps because we wanted to make room for the main dish to come. I wasn't sure if they served bread or Peruvian maíz before hand while waiting for the food.. but I guess not because none was served. We were hoping since the toasted corn is the best to have while waiting ! I ordered Flat Iron A Lo Pobre which tasted very good. Basically has a bit of everything and you can't go wrong with it. The steak was tender and seasoned well. Los plátanos were perfect. Nice and sweet! My dad ordered the Parihuela Soup which had a nice variety of seafood and side of pita bread to dip it into. It was lunch time and there was another family dining in besides us but we heard wonderful things of and it was highly recommended! Everything was delicious and I'd recommend it as well!

    Great location in the heart of South Norwalk…read more Plenty of street parking, as well as a parking lot behind the building a 4-5 minute walk. I was pleasantly surprised with how affordable this food is! Lots of tapas available and decent sizes. I would even say even al the tapas are a tad bigger than other tapas places. If you do decide to give this place a try, I definitely recommend the Ceviche, fresh and perfect for the summer. They also have a variety of empanadas ham and cheese, chorizo, beef...etc. Make sure to pair it with a pineapple mojito. YUM! Great service. Very clean and we even had a chance to meet the chef.

The food is well presented (usually brought to your table by Raul, the chef/owner), delicious, very reasonable and eclectic. The arepas are amazing, the paella is good, as is the ceviche, tacos, stews and more. Unfortunately the place is struggling admits Raul, who bought the restaurant from the former owner. Raul is Ecuadorian and now his server is Alvaro, a polite, very personable fellow who just turned 21 the night I ate there. I was there for dinner with friends the previous Friday and went back for Thursday, all evening, tapas happy hour which was extensive and excellent; but don't just go for the inexpensive tapas which (will set you back a whole $20), go for a great date night any time, the menu is amazing.

I'm always interested in discovering restaurants that serve genuine dishes from different countries without Americanized alterations. When he mentioned the location, I recognized exactly where it was. He specifically recommended the Fried Rice, known as Chaufas. I also learned from him that Chinese influence is prevalent in Peruvian cuisine due to historical migration, which explains why these flavors are integrated. The restaurant operates as a takeout spot, with no seating available. Upon entering, I was greeted promptly. Initially, I planned to order the Fried Rice, but I decided to try the Lomo Salado with white rice and added chicken instead. The Fried Rice can wait for another visit. My order was ready in about fifteen minutes, and it was substantial enough to serve two people--really good value. The rice was delicious, cooked to perfection--fluffy and well-prepared, even if it lacked a bit of seasoning. They provided a side of Lomo Salado broth, which I could pour over the dish, but I found it unnecessary. The steak was flavorful, tender, and juicy. The chicken I added was decent; it was well seasoned but tasted somewhat cheap, so I wouldn't order it again. The French fries were good, though I prefer rice as a side. Overall, the meal was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. I'm already looking forward to returning to try the Fried Rice.

Milford's restaurant week was happening, and Costa Peru was on my list, so I decided to go there. My family ordered seafood, while I went with the Peruvian Chicken Wings topped with Peruvian Barbecue sauce, Ceviche Chicken Wings, and Lomo Salado. I was particularly curious about the Ceviche wings because I'd never heard of them before. The ceviche sauce is inspired by Aji Limo Ceviche, a lively Peruvian dish featuring fresh, raw white fish like sea bass or flounder "cooked" in lime juice, seasoned with citrusy, spicy Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. It's usually served with sweet potato, corn, and leche de tigre (tiger's milk), offering a tart, spicy, and refreshing flavor. The Ceviche wings were fantastic. They had a bright citrus kick, and I could taste all the distinct flavors, including the spices and chilies. They really hit the spot. The barbecue wings were just as enjoyable, with a sweet yet tangy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken. The Lomo Salado was also a hit; the rice was fluffy and full of flavor, and the tender Lomo meat practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered the flan. It was my first time trying it, and I was curious about the taste. Honestly, I didn't care much for the texture, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My son picked the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which was pretty good. It's not something I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.

The food and service were both excellent, and the portions were incredibly generous. We started with the Ceviche Especial, which was absolutely massive -- easily enough for two people. It came loaded with fresh seafood like mussels, clams, squid, fish, and octopus, all marinated perfectly and topped with plenty of red onions. It also came with some cold boiled potatoes, which added a nice balance to the tangy and refreshing flavors. The anticuchos (grilled beef heart) were another highlight. Even though it's listed as an appetizer, the portion was big enough to be a main. The meat was tender and nicely grilled, and it paired amazingly with their ají verde (spicy green sauce). That sauce was so good we ended up eating way too much of the bread just to keep dipping it in. We also ordered yuca frita (fried yuca), which my son loved -- crispy on the outside and soft inside. My personal favorite was the tallarín verde con bistec. The pasta was tossed in a rich basil-spinach pesto, and the steak was thin, juicy, and cooked just right -- medium rare. It all came together beautifully. We left full and happy. The portions are huge, the flavors were great, the service was warm, and the prices were more than fair for how much food we got. We'll be back next time we visit Stepping Stones.

The good- their lomo Saltado and chaufa are spot on and delicious. Their pollo ala brasa is my kids favorite and we regularly order it on Wednesdays when they do their special. Everyone is very friendly but all don't speak English great (luckily my husband is Spanish so we always manage). We have been longtime customers- back to when they were under a different name (flavor point) and across the other side of Meriden. The cons- prices have gone up and portions seem much smaller. My lomo last time barely had any steak. The last time we went for 2 adults and 2 kids (one who only ate a side of rice) it was well over $100 before tip- no apps just meals and 2 drinks. There is no kids menu and nothing they can do to accommodate so you are buying your 2-5 year old a $20 meal they will eat a few bites of . Their pollo ala brasa is not always available- which I get but weekends I feel like it should be and we have gone twice now and had it be unavailable. my son will literally not eat anything else on the menu (as noted no kids options either). He had to sit there and not eat while we ate and get him food from across the way afterwards. One time we got the ceviche and I know the lime juice cooks the fish (believe me I eat ceviche regularly as well as sushi) and this fish was raw. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said it was fine. I couldn't eat it. But still had to pay for the dish which is high priced for the small serving. Cute atmosphere but small so can fill up quickly. Careful in bathroom , had gone a few times and almost fell from slick floor. It was clean but slick- maybe what they're using to clean it.

    I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars
