“ We got the octopus and scallops and lick both plates. The food was so good and the Amaru couple is even more amazing! They found out I just celebrated my birthday and gave me a fruit platter with a balloon! How sweet, thank you! Next time I am trying all the beef dishes. ”
“ After a long drive up from Virginia, I decided to take a break at Exit One in Vermont—and I’m so glad I did. Right off the exit, I found Amaru gourmet , and it turned out to be a gem. I had some of the best ceviche I’ve tasted since my time in Lima—fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. Luis and Lana were incredibly welcoming and gave me fantastic recommendations. I probably ordered more than I should have, but everything was worth it. This place will definitely be a regular stop for me on future trips. Do yourself a favor and experience the food and hospitality at Amaru Gourmet you won’t regret it. ”
“ This place is a true find. High level of flavor details and all goods locally sourced. We were so blown away by the dinner - Ceviche octopus and braised beef with pasta that was melt in your mouth - we made sure to come back the next day for the brunch, repeating the amazing Parmesan scallops From the night before and they are an explosion of flavor that I have not experienced before and I’ve eaten all over the world. Don’t miss this local gem of authentic Peruvian with 1 foot rooted in tradition and 1 foot knocking down the door To a new mind blowing flavor experience of the present. ”

“ Amazing flavors. Subtle, earthy, rich. Owner/chef is 5 star top level. Think Peruvian comfort food elevated to Michelin star quality. Don't expect it to be quick "fast-food: service as they pore over the smallest detail. Im from NY and told them they need to be there. ”

“ A very good experience overall. The restaurant owner is very friendly and pleasant, and the food did not disappoint at all. I've been here for two years, and it's been a long time since I've tried a real ceviche. It was an experience that reminded me of the beauty of Peruvian cuisine. If you have the opportunity, please go; you won't be disappointed. ”
