So. Good. What a wonderful experience start to finish! Service was friendly and warm. Place was bustling for a Friday night but not overwhelming. Appertivo: chicharrone and charcuterie board. Pork belly was savory, well balanced with sweet potato, pickled onion, and this rich and creamy sauce. Started with a key lime martini and lunch time martini with a guest. Both were very enjoyable. I ordered an octopus main with a mescal margarita, perfectly smokey and balanced well with the flavors of the octopus dish. I’ve never had anything like it! The octopus had stewed tomato, capers, sweet potato puree, and incredible toasted pieces of corn or nuts that were to die for. So unique, I’ve never experienced flavors like that! Husband got the chicharrone sandwich. We got the melocoton cocktail, and two pistachio cocktails with picarrones for dessert.

Canggio is a one of a kind experience, especially in Connecticut. When you visit CT, and want more than just “a place to eat”, but instead want a place to feast. The kind of flavor you want to savor.

Beautifully decorated and the layout is comfortable. The food was reasonably priced as well as delicious. They were quick to get our drink orders and refill our coffee and waters. This is a pic of my Gouda, pork belly, spinach and mushroom omelette.

Went here with friends during our stay at Norwich Inn and Spa. We had a wonderful meal including appetizers and dessert. Everything was very flavorful and deliciously spiced. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. The atmoshere inside is warm and inviting. A few items we asked about were no longer available that night so we just tried other things. We all enjoyed it very much !

I’ll begin my review with the thing I’m disappointed about the most: how the heck has this restaurant been around for 5+ years and I’ve only just discovered it now?! Let me tell you…Canggio far EXCEEDS even the most glowing reviews you’ll read here on Google. When we called this evening to book a last-minute reservation, the young woman who took the call was the equivalent of sunshine over the phone. Happy, cordial, beyond pleasant. When we arrived, the happy voice on the phone matched up to the bubbly, smiling person who greeted us at the door. Yup. I knew this dining experience was already off to an amazing start. My husband and I sat at the bar and we were served by Alayna, who provided us with much-needed assistance in choosing menu items. I legitimately wanted one of everything. When you see the menu, it will be clear why. We went with Alayna’s recommendations and each plate was absolutely divine. For an appetizer we had the ceviche and mussels. Entrees: I had the 1/2 chicken and my husband had the lomo. Then we finished with the sweet potato and pumpkin donuts (which I believe we’re owed some kind of award for inhaling in less than 60 seconds). The owner, Julio, came out and chatted with us at the end of our meal and it was really the perfect end to a perfect dinner. I’ve already put my husband on notice…I’m on a mission to try every dish on Canggio’s menu (including the red snapper that comes as a whole fish!). This restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem. For those who are lucky enough to discover it, you’re in for a very, very special meal! I cannot wait to come back.

My new favorite place to meet a friend in Norwich. A welcoming place with exceptional service. The wait staff knows the menu and is in love with what they are serving. Our entrees were perfect. I look forward to introducing my friends to a truly worthwhile dining experience. Do try the yucca fries. They feature a few Peruvian specialty drinks. Yum. Make a reservation.

We were out to celebrate our anniversary and we were looking for a special place. We found a VERY special place in the Canggio restaurant! If you live in the Norwich area, or if you are tourists like us, you really will find delicious authentic Peruvian food with the best service. Our server and host, Emma, took the time to explain the Peruvian dinners and deserts. Everything is made from scratch the Peruvian way! Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious with a warm friendly atmosphere. Also, they have a nice bar. We highly recommend! And they support our veterans.

It was so flippin’ delicious. There are few options in this area that can even come close to being as well prepared and tasty as Canggio. Be sure to try the passion fruit juice! They drive to New Jersey to source the fruit it’s excellent. Also, the service was fantastic timed perfectly, with deep knowledge of the menu and ingredients.
