Canggio Restaurant is a classy but casual dining atmosphere for guests to enjoy the unique offerings of Peruvian cuisine.

Some well-loved dishes are Trio de Ceviche, Pato, Seco de Lomo, and Arroz Chaufa.

Chef Julio Cancho is born and raised in Peru, but classically trained in French and Italian cookery. He adds a Peruvian twist to some American dishes also on the menu.

Peruvian cuisine, considered among the best in the world, inherited its innovation, mix and flavors from Peru’s history. Its culinary fusion developed over a long process of cultural exchange between the Spanish, Africans, Chinese, Japanese and Italians, among others. The dishes became more and more varied as races mixed and migrants landed at the port of Callao.

Chef Julio's creative dishes and Elena's "off the charts" cocktails, like the pistachio martini, make each visit memorable. Despite parking challenges and a cash-only policy, guests rave about the "delicious brunch" and "authentic Peruvian cuisine."

    Warm atmosphere, well appointed. Not crowded or rushed. Attentive staff (thank you, Jared!) Our food arrived quickly. My sister and I shared the ceviche trio, the mussels, and the Peruvian paella. It was all beautifully served. I don’t think I would order the paella again as it was missing that crunchy crisp rice on the bottom of the pan and the squid in the dish was overcooked. The ceviches were all delish and mussels were perfect with a rich broth that we literally spooned up. We were passing through the area and took a chance with a yelp search. I’d love to go back and try more of their wonderful items!

    Had a great meal with great service. We both had a seafood main course and after eating all we could, there was enough leftover for us to have lunch the next day. Especially nice was the wine list. It was not extensive, but covered all the basics and was very reasonably priced. If you save some appetite for dessert and the chocolate cake is still on the menu, it is amazing. The flavor is extremely rich w/o the cake being heavy. An amazing combination.

    We had such a fantastic dinner tonight. We went for brunch a few weeks ago and that alone convinced us to try dinner. It blew us away! Not only was our server amazing and the hostess that sat us knew which reservation we were, but then the food started coming. Our server was well knowledgeable about the food and drinks and that alone is worth raving about. But this chef - Julio - is the real deal. Every single course that we had was beyond reproach. We hope to hire this chef for private dining and our own events! In short - if you even think you might wanna try this place…. YOU DO!!!!

    We were a party of 9, birthday dinner reservation for my wife. Our servers were so attentive, and pleasant. Calamari, chicharron, the spanish mussles, the Jalea plate, food was delicious, so flavorful, that pisco sour martini was really good. Our first time having peruvian food, definitely won't be our last.

    We got a gift certificate from sweet deals on 102.3 radio station. So glad we did! Our waitress was so nice and had such a bubbly personality. The food was fabulous. For dessert we had flan. I highly recommend it. The entire meal was just great. We'll be back.
