Very delicious meal for a decent price. We had the combo at $64 and still ended up taking food home. Friendly staff, fast and courteous service, and a nice ambience.Also, located close to the 1,2,3 subway line.

We were in the area and decided to go to Pio Pio. The food was amazing. My wife and I left very full and very happy. The Corvina a lo Macho is amazing. We will definitely go back to Pio Pio.

The bottom line is that this place offers really good Peruvian food! I went to another Pio Pio in UES that is more casual, and has cheaper prices. This location, which is going for a more fine dining vibe, charges a bit more for that even though you’re getting the same quality food. ($30 for a fish entrée struck me as about right, but spending $16 for a plate with rice and a moderate portion of beans struck me as high, especially since lots of places include at least rice with an entrée.) This place, the only Peruvian spot on the UWS, gets crowded and as a result it gets noisy, so at least for me, it’s not the kind of spot where you would want to linger after finishing your food. But hey, that’s just me. Judging from the crowds, Pio Pio is the go to spot for Peruvian food and deserves its fine reputation.

Probably my favourite chicken spot in the city. Chicken is fresh, juicy, tender and flavourful. Their green sauce is one of the best sauces ever made IMO. Highly recommend.

Loved the food and service. The dishes are very authentic. I like to try something new everytime I go and I've never been dissapointed. We didn't have a reservation but were able to find a table very easily. The staff was very helpful and recommended dishes for those who were there for the first time.

We have eaten here almost once per month for almost ten years. It is a neighborhood staple for a reason! Everything on the menu is good. Not just good, GOOD! We will continue coming here for chicken, plantains, and all manner of Peruvian fare to warm the belly and heart.Kid-friendliness: Highly child-friendly, both in terms of menu and atmosphere

The salchipapas don't have much meat and the chaufa used to be better. The restaurant needs to stop putting in old, dry chicken pieces. We thought it may have been a mistake the first time but it happened again and is very disappointing.

I've dined here several times over a 15-year period and it's never failed me. Not once! The food is amazing, service impeccable and the ambiance is subtle but warm.

I always wanted to try the lomo saltado, as it's one of my favorite dishes and decided on Pio Pio, since I never tried it from there. Portion was decent by the looks of it, but how disappointing. The lomo was a potatoe lomo with 5 pieces of unflavored dried beef with potatoes galore and some discolored tomatoes and onions. No flavorrrrrrrrrrr! Also, ordered maduros. They were sweet but greasy. We ate a few pieces and threw out the rest with the potatoe lomo saltado. NOT impressed. I'm shocked since the place was packed but that doesn't tell me much these days because some people don't know nothing about flavor....they got my money once, never again! No Pio Pio for us no more.

Ordered $52.00 dollar meal & shared it. The chicken was extremely salty, couldn't eat it. Too much salt is so bad for you. They really should think about their customers health. We asked them if they could change it & he did but it was just as bad. Won't go back there again. It's unfortunate because I had been there before & it was really good. Amsterdam spot needs to check their food.
