Peruvian/Italian Fusion
The restaurant has a classic homey Italian feel and the staff were very attentive.
I’ve had several dishes at Julio’s and have loved every single one of them.
The portions are very generous but not so much that I’ve walked out with a second meal.
The Chicken Country is a wonderful dish with a light sauce and plenty of flavor. The chicken was moist, the sausage added a little kick and the roasted peppers and potato made for a perfect compliment of color and texture.
The Lomo Saltado (Steak & Fried Potato) and Chicken Saltdao (Same but with Chicken) are both excellent Peruvian style dishes. The sauce is an excellent reduction with a Peruvian Flare.
The gnocchi and tortellini dishes both had just the right amount of “bite” as the Italians would say.
The bruschetta and chopped salad were perfect starters.
