1 Cicciolina, Bodega – Tapas bar

On the second floor of a colonial home in Cusco sits Cicciolina, the perfect place for a snack and a glass of wine or a formal dinner in the main room. The restaurant makes an impression from the moment you walk in the door, bustling with life, aromas, and colors. Baskets of dried corn cobs adorn the walls, giant bunches of ají chilis hang from the ceiling, and freshly made pasta abounds. A place to share a moment with others and enjoy yourself.
