If I could give a zero I would as I made a reservation for 2 people before 8:00am and when we arrived at the restaurant they would not honor it! Really bad customer service. I will not be back! read more

We are in the last legs of a 28 day journey across the United States, starting out in Tucson, west through California to the SF Bay Area, and then easterly across the United States. Our meal at Canggio restaurant was the best meal we had on this journey. It was so good we went back for a second night. Extraordinary Peruvian food, ceviche, parihuela, a seafood soup, mussels, and other Peruvian dishes. We highly recommend this restaurant to all, and all travelers! It is well worth the trip to Norwich to experience this restaurant. read more

Canggio is a gem hidden in Norwich. The seasoning is subtle and delicious. The chef's specials this evening had a Mexican flavor to pay tribute to Cinco de Maio. We had the Mexican Bruschetta appetizer. My companion had the paella. I had the chicken. It was perfect by itself, but the sauce was stunning. Sangria was very nice, too. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat after the gym, I got the quinoa salad with grilled chicken and loved it!! Will definitely be back to try more dishes soon!! read more

Great food, great service! The best meal we had in the area, while staying at the Spa at the Norwich Inn. The home made empanadas were amazing, the best we've ever had. The ceviche was delicious, and a very generous portion. The wings with the Peruvian spice rub was great! The mains were also great. We wanted to come back the next night, but could not get a reservation. We'll be back. read more

Good place. Good food. Poor management and extremely spotty service. The first time I ordered takeaway the time estimate was off by 300%. This was through munchme. I thought it wrong and said as much when the second order was similarly off. Not a big deal. The second time I ate there it was 10 minutes to get a menu 15 and shaking down our waitress to get bread 25 to get the drink I knew I wanted before I sat down and 45 before the waitress, Jessie hill (cashier on receipt) , let us know she lost our entire order because she doesn't know the computer system (she also forgot the drink order). We have a 1 year old. I will come back and request not that server. Expect bs with your good food, but that's not bad for Norwich. read more

Outstanding food and drinks. Staff is attentive and speedy. The chef is does an amazing job preparing authentic Peruvian cuisine

For $22 the Lomo should have been a lot more flavorful... the rice was bland, the steak was bland... the fries were really good. Not worth $22 though... portion wasn't even big enough for me to be satisfied paying $22 for a bland meal. read more

We had the wonderful Calamari as an appetizer!! Very good....covered with those tangy pickled onions...a nice bright flavor with the fried calamari. \ For dinner we both had the Escabeche which was Salmon topped with tart vinegar onion sauce served with grilled red potatoes (delicious!) and veggies! Would get that again! Sorry the Spanish mussels are no longer on the menu....had them before and they were Divine!! read more

We went here on a whim last night. The food was incredible. I got the veggie wrap and it was so flavorful and delicious. The fries were tasty. This is the kind of food you can tell was made by a chef and not just by some cook with no training. I was happy with the vegetarian selection. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, courteous, and informative. We were given complimentary samples of some snacks and drinks and sauce that they make in-house. This is a true gem in this city. I hope one day they can move to a space with better parking for their sake. read more

OMG! I love Peru and I feel like I am right back in Cusco. The ceviche is off the charts! Chica Morada delice! And a spicy margarita. Next course is seafood soup (hot)...calamari, octopus, crawfish,mussels and clams in a red broth. Yum. Next...quinoa salad. If you don't know Peruvian food this is a great introduction. If you have been to Peru and want to recapture that flavor, I highly recommend this restaurant. While it would be impossible to totally recreate due to the inability to get exactly the right ingredients, this is a delicious attempt! The owner, chef, Julio came out to check on us. Our service with Jessie was excellent . read more

Delicious food! The empanadas appetizer with 2 sauces was great. And definitely have the pisco sour!!! The portions on the entrees were Huge! And the Suspiro de limeña dessert (aka dulce de leche) was Amazing-I could pour that all over everything LOL read more

I've been going to Canggio since they opened. It is literally one of the best restaurants Norwich has to offer. Let me start with their saying, their wine and beer selection is great and always changing (whether it be new local drafts or local wines). Their craft cocktails are amazing and unique, using things like pisco, Peruvian hot peppers, elderflower and many other specialty ingredients. The appetizers/ starters are phenomenal, many of them recipes from Peru and other South American counties. The ceviche is my favorite by far, the taste is so authentic. The main courses are also great and are very decent portions. You can't go wrong with the pollo ala brasa (Peruvian rotisserie chicken) or the albaca pesto pasta with steak. And then the desserts, they are homemade and will make your taste buds dance. The creme brûlée is my favorite, but the flan is amazing too. Staff is more than friendly and make the dining experience great and the chef/ owner is one of the friendliest people around. They also allow private events and do special menus for holidays (I.e. Mother's Day, Valentine's Day). Go to Canggio, you will not be disappointed! read more

Really delicious Peruvian food and very friendly staff. Everything that we tried was almost as good as my Peruvian mother-in-law's cooking, and that's saying a lot! read more

We discovered this Peruvian Restaurant and loved our meal. We order the Yucca Frita, the Ceviche and the Zucchini, goat cheese Alfredo pasta. All three dishes were flavorful and unique. We will definitely come back here. read more

Simply amazing food, good service. They worked with me to make a customized dish as they were running low on some ingredients (this was right when the pandemic was starting) and they gave me so much food! One dish lasted 4 meals for me! read more

First visit and it was excellent. Lovely interior, comfortable, nice bar area. The waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He also made one of the best Bloody Mary's I've had in a long time. The food, from ceviche, to empanadas were delicious. What a great find. Definitely will be back. read more

Fabulous dinner the other night at Canggio's. We were excited to learn a new restaurant was opened and that it was something other than a Pizza place! We were not disappointed. The space is open, modern and relaxing. There is a small bar area as well and they are in the process of applying for a liquor license. Until they get that, however, you can BYOB. The service was spot on and super nice that the chef delivered one part of our meal and spent a few minutes talking with us. Now for the best part the dinners: My husband had the Albaca~a creamy spinach and basil pesto sauce tossed with linguine and served with steak. He enjoyed it saying there was no fat on it and that it melted in his mouth. I loved the Escabeche~a great serving of grilled salmon w/the most delicious sauce I've ever had on salmon. Maybe on anything! It was served w/grilled red potatoes and squash that were also super! We had to take some home, the proportions were so ample! The parking during the day could be a challenge but the owner is working on an agreement w/some of the Dr.'s offices in the area and they plan to have valet parking. There are sandwiches, soups, salads and I believe something for all tastes~even vegetarian. It was refreshing to learn from the chef/owner (Julio) that we could ask him for something that wasn't on the menu and he is planning a tasting dinner course for the future. We will be back and couldn't recommend this place more! read more

This food is amazing, small and homie feel. The antoine and Katie makes you feel at home and make the best drinks. Get the MUSSELLS.

My daughter and I went to this restaurant the Peruvian restaurant and was very pleased with the chicken dish it was simply delicious. My daughter had traveled to Peru and has enjoyed the cuisine.Will have to return and try something else,very nice people too. read more

My husband and I tried Canggio tonight for the first time and we will ABSOLUTELY be back. Every aspect of our dining experience was incredible. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, they atmosphere was cozy and the food. . . When we looked through the appetizers, we could not decide on just one - so we got 3. We tried the ceviche which was some of the best I ever had. It was light, refreshing and had just a touch of spice. The empanadas had the perfect balance between tender and crispy. We also tried the Causae which is a traditional potato dish that I was hesitant to try but actually surprised me with the amount of flavor. Once we had our appetizers, we were absolutely stuffed but knew we had to try the whole red snapper (one of our favorite dishes) and HOLY. The fish was perfectly cooked, served with a fresh salad, rice and crispy fries. If you are even within an hour of this place, it is well worth the trip. We already have our menu items picked out for the next time we visit. MUST TRY. read more

Great place, good food, atmosphere and wait staff. They have a one chair table set for our remembrance of our fallen military. Portion size was perfect. Had the zucchini with linguine and goat cheese sauce. read more

Came back from an August trip to Peru to discover a Peruvian restaurant just opened in Norwich. Currently BYOB as they await their liquor license so six of us rushed right over! We had multiple orders of the following. Tried the mussels... the broth was addicting...papa rellena and ceviche appetizers. All outstanding. Next came traditional lomo, chicken francaise and my favorite the albaca...with its creamy pesto....all perfect. Topped it all off with a few orders of picarones....light as air donuts. All I can say is the two non dessert eaters were compelled to help us as each order contained five donuts! Wish they were open for breakfast I'd stop by just for these. One person took the remaining delicious syrup and poured it in his coffee! Wish they were staying a BYOB as Norwich sorely needs them but my husband will be returning to try their pisco sours. Personable chef made a visit to our table and the service was very friendly. Every time we want to relive our vacation we'll be heading back to this gem. read more

My experience with Peruvian cuisine is largely based on having tried many of the excellent Peruvian restaurants in the Port Chester NY area, and sadly Canggio pales in comparison (while being more expensive) I started with the fried seafood appetizer: the mussels were bad, after choking one down I didn't touch the rest; the calamari were rubbery and underfried; the fish and yucca were decent. My salmon entree was also decent, but the potato and squash side was uninspiring. My guests had the linguine with shrimp which they found plain (and not at all Peruvian). The best part was the drinks: the pisco sour and chingon tequila cocktails were excellent. Service was also friendly and attentive. read more

Food is always delicious,great staff,great chef,great atmosphere.do yourself a favor and save room for dessert

Super authentic. Ceviche and Yuca Frita were great, so was the Pollo a la Brasa. We didn't finish our entrees only because we ate too much! Drinks were great, but the service was the best part of our meal. Really well done Kyle! read more

This place is a great addition to Norwich! I had the Chicken Francaise and the lemon butter sauce on it was absolutely to die for. Also try their Peruvian dry rub wings. The coating is crisp and packed with flavor! As far as service goes, this place seems to be top notch. Katalin was glad to answer all of our questions, walked us through the menu, and gave us suggestions on what her favorite meals are. She picked right- we weren't disappointed! It's in an area without much parking, but don't let that deter you! Highly recommend. read more

Driving through town and found this place. SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! I am vegetarian and had the wrap which was the best wrap I my life. Make the trip! read more

What an awesome experience great atmosphere greeted at the door fast service and the food is great beautiful dining area the staff is outstanding so friendly and fast read more

Ok where do I begin first the service was outstanding. The sangria has a beautiful cinnamon flavor. The food was infused with Peru, Italy, Fresh and Asian I was blown away. The food the spices down to the flan was amazing. I can't Believe this is in Norwich!!! A must try I will Definitely be back!!! read more

I came here once and it was good! Not something I would rush back for (not really into this type of food), but overall the meal was good. The service, however, was extremely slow. read more

Such a great addition to the Norwich area. My daughter and I have been looking for something different as it can become a bit repetitive to eat at the same places all the time. We decided to try Canggio and I'm so glad we did! I had the shrimp pasta which had amazing flavor and was unlike anything I've had before. She had the pork belly sandwich which she loved. She also had some sangria which she said was some of the best she's ever had. Of course we had to try their desserts. I had the crème brûlée which was amazing, and she had a chocolate banana cake which she also loved. The day after we went we both kept thinking about our dinner and agreed we will definitely be returning soon. The service was perfect, friendly and attentive and when I requested that they withhold the jalapeños from my pasta they were more than willing to oblige. This would be a perfect place for date night as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

What a find!! We were in the area for the CT wine trail and happily ended up here! Jessie was a very friendly and attentive server and bartender. The homemade empanada appetizer was sooo good! The Pollo a la Brasa entree was tender and delicious and my husband loved the Seco de Cordero lamb dish. The sous chef Morgana came out by request and shared some spice ideas and we could tell it was a wonderful place to work. Can't wait to come back to try the Arroz con Mariscos (paella)!! read more

Food was good but could be even better if they would be mure true to Peruvian cuisine. Some of the dishes were to Americanized.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! The food is above all consistently delicious - no matter what we have ordered on the menu. I have been there during the week and on the weekend and the food quality never falls short of amazing. The waitstaff is incredibly competent, juggling all of the components of serving all at once, without dropping the ball. I was there last night and they were short a server, but you would never know it. We were taken care of as well as we have been taken care of every other time we have eaten there. Absolutely the best of the best when it comes to dining. It is so wonderful having a place this good right in my backyard! One of my top 5 restaurants! read more

So good! Everyone was super satisfied with their orders, and the service was great. Really quick to the table even though it was busy. The Pollo Alla Brasa is seriously good. Glad to see a place like this doing well. read more

Great food...Causa, yucca fries and steak special! Service is excellent with recommendations and smiles. Topped off with plantain ice cream n chocolate!! Outstanding! Go and relax for a wonderful dining experience! read more

Traveling through the area, this unique restaurant was recommended by hotel staff. The description emphasized Peruvian cuisine which we thought would be different. The menu offered a variety of beef, chicken, pork, pasta and salad selections. The food was presented very creatively and the portions were generous. The flavors were different but delicious. We split 2 desserts which were fresh and very tasty. We highly recommend this establishment read more

I can't say enough great things about Canggio!! We happened upon it for lunch while taking a ride. We were BLOWN AWAY!! Everything was perfect. Interesting menu, excellent execution, cute and clean inside and out and cheerful, attentive, intelligent service. Can't wait to go back read more

Went for the first time this week and I was so impressed! Everything from start to finish was amazing. The sangria was the best I've ever had, empanadas were delicious, and the pork belly sandwich was so tender. Not to mention the service was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more
