    Nice outdoor space. If it's a sunny summer day and they have the DJ is a cool vibe.

    We enjoyed a lively Thursday night dinner for four at Tanta. The atmosphere was bustling (definitely make a reservation!) and the staff was friendly, though understandably busy. Our meal began with excellent pisco sours and the traditional ceviche—which set the tone for a delicious evening. We sampled lomo saltado, green rice and duck, and arroz mariscos. The green rice and duck were the standout; the duck was especially tender and flavorful. One disappointment was the red rice—it was much spicier than expected, which made it difficult for my family to enjoy, especially since typical Peruvian dishes aren’t that spicy. Next time, I’d be sure to ask about the heat level. Overall, it was a great visit, and I look forward to coming back—perhaps on a quieter night to really savor the food and ambiance.

    The restaurant was super noisy when we arrived, it is small especially because the second floor was closed. The waiter took a while to come but finally we ordered our drinks which were great. Later we then ordered the ceviche, octopus, empanadas, the saltado beef and the rice with shrimp all were excellent;super tasty. Great peruvian flavors.

    My wife and I dined on the second floor deck on a sunny Sunday evening. Attentive service. Delicious trios of food: Ceviche trio, Empanada trio, and desert trio... food tourism at its best. Just the right spiciness. All highly recommended. Lively outdoor atmosphere. Good music completing the trip abroad. We could have done without the 4 different ambulance siren drive-bys. They made us wish we were up about 20 more floors. Aside from that, the server had personality and spark, the sunshine and blue skies lifted our spirits, the Chilean wine was delicious. Top notch on everything but value. We've had equal food in equal atmosphere for less money, so I dropped it a star on price. All-in-all it was worth the cost, and Tanta is highly recommended.

    Piatti buoni, ottimi ceviche, personale accogliente. Un po’ rumoroso, ma bella terrazza all’aperto. Un po’ costoso.
