Cicciolina

Frommer's Review

Upstairs in the same courtyard as the restaurant A Mi Manera is this new and delightfully chic restaurant, which looks ripped from the Tuscan countryside. Enter through a long, appealing, and country-elegant bar, decorated with bunches of garlic, peppers, and fresh-cut flowers. The bar is a great spot for a pre-dinner drink, or dinner itself, if you don't mind the garrulous bar patrons. The dining room at the back, one of the few places in Cusco for true fine dining, is refined, with high-backed chairs, deep red walls, and large antique mirrors. It features a high ceiling and exposed beams. The menu focuses on unusual spices and accents, with a number of adventurous dishes. You might start with escalibada (sweet peppers, onions, eggplant, and tomatoes, roasted with herbs) or spicy barbecued calamari, prawns, and scallops, which is served with a minty rice noodle salad. Main courses include superb, large salads (including a yummy combination of roast beef and vegetables) and very good homemade pastas and exotic dishes like alpaca filet and a Moroccan tagine.
