    Love these guys and what they're doing. The chef is very hands-on, even doing the shopping at numerous places every week, including his local farmer's market. Sit at the bar if you can (only four stools, sadly) and watch the kitchen in action. And when it comes to the small but well-curated wine list, put yourself in the hands of the staff, who are passionate about the pairings. Our waiter is a former chef who now works front of house - we think it's because he had too much personality to keep him in the back of house!

    This was our second time at Pucquio. We tried different dishes because everything was so good the first visit. We started with plantains and Tiradito cebiche. My husband ordered the pork shoulder while I ordered the tacu tacu, a delicious seafood medley with rice and beans. For dessert, we got the rice pudding brulee. We recommend letting them choose the wine for each dish. They also make excellent cocktails.

    It’s a great Peruvian restaurant located off Broadway in Oakland nicer area. Carlos and Kevin are super hospitable, warm and efficient. The gourmet food is super tasty. The lomo saltado is amazing!!! The sangria was delicious. I will comeback soon! For your birthday they give you sparkling wine. Amazing experience! Mariano Valdivia

    The best Peruvian food that we've ever had. We sat at the counter (the best seats in the house) and were able to talk to the chef-owner and watch his food artistry.
