Europe meets South America at this Italian restaurant with a Peruvian twist. So, for example, gnocchi is made from cassava root, salmon fillet is encrusted with macadamia nuts, and beef tenderloin with crushed espresso beans. There’s an incredible selection of Italian, Chilean and Argentinean wines, all of which are organic or biodynamic. Taranta is a Certified Green Restaurant.
