About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Canggio Restaurant is a classy but casual dining atmosphere for guests to enjoy the unique offerings of Peruvian cuisine.

Some well-loved dishes are Trio de Ceviche, Pato, Seco de Lomo, and Arroz Chaufa.

Chef Julio Cancho is born and raised in Peru, but classically trained in French and Italian cookery. He adds a Peruvian twist to some American dishes also on the menu.

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.

    From the minute we walked in the door it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, attentive and very helpful in explaining the menu. The food was outstanding. Everyone in our party of 5 was extremely happy with their selections. We started with 2 appetizers (Calamari & Ahi Tuna) and they were some of the best we’ve had. I ordered the salmon entree - it was delicious and perfectly cooked. There are so many items I want to try and will definitely be going back.

    Having lived in the area for decades, we were amazed to hear that Canggio had been open for 8 years. This was our first visit 5-24-25, the service and food were outstanding. The atmosphere was what we were hoping for to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Five of us mostly having a different meal. Octopus, Red Snapper, Salmon, and lots of starters, all cooked to perfection, waitress wonderfully described the options which then made us want to have one of everything. Local beers on tap, drinks were also very good. Our chef visited our table to see if we were enjoying our food, he probably didn't need to ask based by our expressions but is was nice that he asked. We will return!

    The menu is quite expansive and owing to the overall excellence of our dinner, Canggio certainly earned a few more visits if only to explore the menu further. The food is delicious and strikes an authentic Peruvian note and the portions hefty. The server, Elena, was friendly, thoughtful and efficient. We're very happy to have found out about Canggio.

    We enjoyed a combined birthday and mother's day early dinner. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. We shared the Peruvian Spiced Rub chicken wings as an appetizer. I had the seafood pasta special. My husband had the coffee encrusted Aymara  salmon which was delicious. our friend enjoyed the Lomo Steak. After seeing 2 reviews on the wall, we finished our meal with the PICARONES  - Pumpkin, sweet potato donuts, fruity spiced syrup. So yummy.
