    Best pizza we have had in Peru! The lasagna was also top notch! It is a bit more expensive, but worth every penny. I would highly recommend this place!

    Excellent Italian Trattoria with homemade pasta. We went two days in a row and walked out highly satisfied both times. The food was fresh and delicious made by the Italian Owner himself. The place has a great ambience and excellent service; everything was exceeding expectations.

    An incredible gastronomic experience. The food was great and also the service. Good option if you're looking for an alternative of Peruvian food.

    I saw the good reviews so I went in with high expectations and they were met. The food was really good and the service was great.

    Some of the best pasta we’ve had in South America! Fresh pasta perfectly cooked al dente, flavourful sauces, and attentive wait staff made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We had the lomo with porcini mushrooms which had a deliciously earthy flavour, and the langostines with salsa rosa - perfectly cooked prawns and delicious sauce.

    What a delight to eat here. Four months of travelling through South-America and this restaurant was able to fool us into thinking we were in Italy. Stunning flavours with excellent attention to presentation and first class care for guests. You can tell everyone in this establishment cares to deliver the best experience. I can't wait to come back tomorrow to explore more of their diverse menu.

    Al Dente is a must when traveling to Trujillo. The food was fantastic paired with a beautiful atmosphere. The service was exceptional thanks to Eduardo as he assisted me with my learning of Spanish. Highly recommend stopping by and enjoying your meal at Al Dente.

    This is the place for real italian food. The ravioli and fetuccini taste fresh, the lasagna is rich as well.

  • 5/5 Janne B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Very good atmosphere, super kind waiters and the food is delicious! We came 2 nights in a row, because the food was so good (both pizza and pasta). Best Italian restaurant in Peru so far, definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Joe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, pasta dishes with a depth of flavour missing in so many other Italian restaurants in South America. Friendly service to go with it. Highly recommend!

    Excellent food and service, came back for more. It's the attention to detail that sets it apart in Trujillo

  • 4/5 Jeff K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Just had a steak with pasta. Was excellent. Waitress really helpful...maitre'd was a rather bossy unhelpful fellow. Recommend

  • 5/5 Elena S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing pasta and wine selection. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Masaaki T. 1 year ago on Google
    The best!! This is the only place you can get authentic and fine Italian food in Trujillo.

  • 5/5 Alberto V. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing pasta Alfredo & fungi with lomo, well worthy the visit. Pizza looking good too, but sadly not enough room for it.

  • 5/5 Richie G. 10 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Ok- this is the real deal! Cute and quaint Italian restaurant with 5 star quality! The fresh pasta sheets and spaghetti strings are hanging on a clothes line and the chef who is from Italy himself stands in the background ready to cook with his heart! We ordered pizza caprese and a Lomo o las tres pimientas. The pizza dough was perfect, as was the tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil. My hubby ordered his meat medium rare and it was seared to perfection. The desserts were heavenly- we ordered chocolate pannacotta and cheesecake- both served with a fresh strawberry coulis. Pizza was a decent size, costing 50 soles and the lomo- 62 soles. Very reasonable price for superb quality! Best Italian restaurant in the 11 countries we’ve travelled so far on the Pan -American highway. Definitely come here for a treat! Thank you also to the attentive team for beautiful ambience and excellent service.

👍 This hotel-turned-restaurant has a gorgeous interior with quality food. Unfortunately when we went they were out of the majority of their dishes and service was slow, but the food they did have was still delicious. I recommend going earlier in the day (for lunch or an early dinner) and expecting to...

👍👍 Really cozy place, they serve both national and Angus beef. We tried the Angus T-Bone steak , it was fantastic, very juice, and cooked just how I asked. They serve their steaks with salad and french fries, each in a different plate. The salad was really good too. It's a little bit pricey, specially...
