5/5. Must try if you enjoy seafood and savoury spicy dishes. Very fairly priced for food and portion sizes. Loved everything I tried, especially the beef anticuchos. Seating was comfy and servers were kind and attentive. Lovely date spot. Visit on Wednesdays for buck a shuck on oysters!

Nuna was my first time trying peruvian cuisine and I was pleasantly surprised. We came here for winterlicious and it was quite good. The gnocchi was amazon as well as the white chicken dish. I found that the salad we received as an appetizer was one of the best salads i’ve had. The dessert, tres leches and chocolate cake were also quite good as well as the drinks. Overall would reccomend a visit

Delicious food, great service and a cute space with a great vibe. I went for dinner and had an amazing experience. We shared the fritters, brussel sprouts, and pan seared salmon and everything was amazing. The cocktails were fun too. I would absolutely go back.

We went to Nuna for my sister's baby shower and had the back patio area. It was absolutely gorgeous. Minimal decoration was required as the place really spoke for itself. We had about 40 people there and we fit very comfortably. The service was quick and efficient considering how many people we had. You can tell the team was organized and prepared! They did printed out some special custom menus for us as well which was great. I had the Steak chimichurri which was really good. I wasn't a fan of the yucca fries but that's more personal preference than reflection on them. The steak though was cooked to my liking (rare!) And the chimichurri was flavorful. We also had the yucca and cheese croquettes which I DID really enjoy and so did my toddler. I saw some of the other meals that came out and they looked fantastic! No one had anything bad to say. The drinks were excellently crafted. I indulged in a few including the Peruvian Caesar, pisco sour and espresso martini. All in all, it was a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to host a small event or try some great Peruvian food!

Celebrated a birthday at Nuna’s with the summerlicious menu and cocktails, and had an amazing time - highly recommend!! The cocktails, passion fruit pisco sour and spicy margaritas, were recommended by our server and she was spot on — perfect balance of sour, and very spicy. The shrimp starter was a generous portion, really appreciated the bread to dip in and clean out the sauce. The mains were equally generous—shrimp / red bell pepper risotto and lomo saltado—both could have benefitted from a tiny bit of added acidity (personal preference) but the food was hot, very good, and truly worth the price imo. Both chose the tres leches dessert which was also plentiful and tasty.. loved the meringue and hint of cinnamon, perfect end to our night here

Winner, winner amazing Peruvian dinner! Literally every single dish was spectacular. We started with the ceviche that was both perfectly acidic and just plain perfect, as well as being a decent size. One of us had the salmon with gnocchi and I'm not usually a huge fan of gnocchi even as an Italian but the pesto was so good and the pillows were exactly the right texture,and somehow didn't create that overly full feeling. The beef appetizer was abundant and again, so tasty, as were the corn fritters with a blend of some rhubarb sauce on top, once again surprising me because I actually fully dislike rhubarb. The short rib was everything you would expect with fall off the bone meat and there is definitely magic added to the mashed potatoes because I'm normally iffy on those and I loved them. Finally, the tres leches was the star of the show and even though we all thought we would take just one bite, the whole cake was devoured. One of us is hesitant to try new food and is a meat and potatoes woman and she's now a total Peruvian food convert now, taking the leftovers home for lunch tomorrow. The only pitfall which has nothing to do with them is how hard parking is but honestly, I will go back and just deal. It's worth it!
