Come here for a birthday and it was beyond expectations. We were seated in the quiet back corner of the main dining room. Nur was our server and she was absolutely fantastic! Knowledgeable about the wine and took special care with any food related questions due to dietary restrictions, attentive, and made the whole birthday evening perfect.

We visited Alpana for an early dinner on a Thursday night. It was not busy and the service was amazing. We were greeted with a card that wished us a happy anniversary and we received a sundae to share at the end. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines served there and gave great recs on foods to try. We had the short rib buccatini and the squid ink campanella. Both were delicious. It’s a nice place for a date night.

It’s an amazing restaurant with a unique twist on Peruvian-inspired cuisine. I loved the lomo saltado, shrimp ceviche, and the chorizo skewers. It’s a definite winner from Chef Stephanie Izard!
