About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

Coming from Perú, our family wanted a way to share our cuisine with our Arizona neighbors. This dream led us to open our restaurant, Villa Perú. Every meal here is a way for us to share Peruvian culture with you, and our dishes, design, and architecture were all chosen to capture the authentic experience of our first home. Allow our selection of sophisticated Peruvian dishes and traditionally made Pisco-themed cocktails to take you on a vicarious adventure you wont soon forget.

The service, food, the staff and whole experience at the restaurant were simply outstanding . I would particularly like to thank our server - Laura who looked after us so very well. She was attentive, knowledgeable and professional. Can’t wait to return and try something different.

Went for the lobster night and every dish we had was well prepared and tasty. Shared the ceviche Classico (ordered spicy) followed by the lobster paella and lobster/shrimp linguini entrees. For dessert we shared the picarones with ice cream. For cocktails, we had the mojito and pisco sour mocktails which tasted as good as the originals - not too sweet like some mocktails. We hadn't been to Villa Peru since its expansion 2 years ago. The larger dining room has really improved the dining experience. Decor is upscale with nice lighting. Our server was attentive and the tables were cleared with each serving. We went on a Thursday evening and it was quiet ... can't comment on weekend service. All-in-all, it was a great, upscale dining experience: Excellent, unique food with great atmosphere and service. It is clear the owner has worked hard to make sure all details have been covered. We will definitely be back.

We went for a sneak peak for Frida’s Brassiere’s and sad to say that food quality flavor and temperature was not good. We love Villa Peru regular menu and we go there often so expectations were high since they were endorsing this restaurant. Hope they fix menu before opening. Presentation lack detail pasta was cold and NY overcooked.

Not at all comparable to the price charged. Service goes a long way to save bad food, both were a truly bad experience and we noted that we were celebrating our anniversary. Unfortunate as we were very excited about having a wonderful dining experience.

I had Chilean Sea Bass. My husband had Arroz con Mariscos. His was much better than mine. His octopus in the mariscos was tough and inedible. My fish was old...not spoiled but.....not good at all. We split an appe of Ceviche mixto classico...which was pretty good....it also had some 'old', not fresh tasting items. The snacks at the table were a bit different . The server didn't tell us about them at all. They were seeds or something like that. Crunchy. Ok, but......meh. This was my birthday celebration. The server brought me a nice little dessert and my husband had one also for his too chewy octopus. That was a very nice gesture.
