Antica Trattoria

Yesterday, back in 2012, my family went to this cute Italian restaurant in Barranco, which is the artsy neighborhood of Lima, kind of like Soho in NYC. This restaurant has a large brick oven which the cooks use to make pizza. Though I did not eat any pizza, I will have to try it the next time I go there.

I loved all of the decor on the walls of this restaurant; there were lots of old bronze pots, pans, and other cookware as well as photos and other cool objects. It definitely felt like an old, charming trattoria.

We started off with a sampler of three different types of bruschetta – tomato and mozzarella, tomato and basil, and prosciutto and mozzarella. I then ordered steak which came on a bed of arugula dressed with balsamic vinegar and pieces of parmesan cheese. It was a very tasty dish.
