    Delicious food - wow! And a great price. Service could be better and faster. Soooo slow. And then they told us another party was coming. Well, if they took our orders sooner and brought the food sooner, we’d be done sooner. So come for the food (excellent) but don’t expect great service.

    Came to Nuna to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a fantastic time. We opted for the Winterlicious menu and chose two of the apps, plus an app from the main menu, as well as the mushroom potato gnocchi and two desserts. The food was truly spectacular - exceptionally seasoned and flavoured, and it was great to be able to taste Chef Sergio Nazario's take on Peruvian cuisine. The hospitality was very thoughtful- Nuna made sure to include a small placard for the birthday guest, as well as a candle on our dessert. With great music and ambiance, Nuna has captured our hearts. Will definitely be returning!
