Candela - Chachapoyas

This restaurant is a treasure. The food is amazing (prepared fresh) and the Venezuelan women who run it are absolutely charming and very good cooks. Sure you need to wait while preparing the ravioli and pizza from scratch. But waiting is worth it. They won't be disappointed.

At first I had to wait a long time to get my food. Secondly, the pizza was burned. Unfortunately, I realized that too late to send it back. On the bright side, the pizza was still tasty. The biggest plus, however, was the fact that they offered oil, oregano and hot pepper with pizza. This was the first time I traveled to South America and I eat pizza every week. You should always get at least some olive oil with your pizza, and they offered it. I would definitely recommend this place. Prices are high as everywhere in SA, don't ask me why a simple dish like this costs a lot.

My friend and I came here and expected a decent Italian food, but were disappointed. The garlic pizza bread was completely black underneath, so bad, so if I turned over a piece to see why it tasted, the waiter burned over and removed it and said they would make another. After the pampered garlic pizza bread I lost my appetite for it, so I asked for a part of the Alfredo-Filuccine my friend had received. It took so long to come that I thought to leave the restaurant, but how my friend paid it. The fetters were slightly boiled, the sauce was simple and the bacon was very salty and greasy. At this point I had enough so that I didn't even finish the meal, and instead had to pay 25 soles to remain unsatisfied, so I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to other travelers, despite the other positive reviews.

My boyfriend and I came into this restaurant because I was really craving pizza and I saw some good reviews on here. Y’ALL. I’ve never liked any lasagna other than my mom’s and please don’t tell her, but this is the best lasagna I’ve ever had. Thick, fresh noodles and veggies, straight from the wood- fired oven. My boyfriend doesn’t even like lasagna and he ate half of it. We also ordered a pizza- we didn’t even pick one off of the menu, just told Juan the ingredients we wanted and he was more than happy to oblige (pizza was great too). Definitely one of our favorite meals in Peru, do not miss!

I ate here twice. The food is amazing and really fresh. Very recommended! The pizza was the best, I ate in Peru.
