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.

- DDeborahNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe've eaten at Casa Mia a few times and always have a great experience. Starting with the warm greeting at the door, friendly wait staff, creative drink menu and delicious food, it's a lovely experience. But my favorite part is the supper club! The Bernadettes and Le'Mixx are fabulous cover bands playing dance tunes that will keep you moving. They play all of the best Motown, R&B, and funk tunes that make you want to dance and sing along. Great place for a date night, special celebration or just a fun night out with friends. Went there the other night after a really difficult week, and I left with a big smile.More infoCasa Mia at the HawthornePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Berlin•4.2
