CENTRAL CUZCO
Cicciolina $$$
( 23-9510; Triunfo 393, 2nd fl; mains S30-55; 8am-late)
On the 2nd floor of a lofty
colonial courtyard mansion, Cicciolina has long held its position as Cuzco's best restaur-
ant. The eclectic, sophisticated food is divine, starting with house-marinated olives, con-
tinuing with crisp polenta squares with cured rabbit, huge green salads, charred octopus
and satisfying mains like squid-ink pasta and tender lamb.
The service is impeccable, and the warmly -lit seating will make any laid-back globe-
trotter feel at home. Highly recommended.
