During our visit, we order pizza (mozzarella, tomato, spinach...) and and raviolis (filled with mozzarella, spinach and served with an unknown withe souce) both quite insipid, tasteless dishes. Food is edible, but taking into account that Peruvian cousin is good and renowned and the price of the dishes I cannot recommend to go there. Also the price are not much cheaper that in Lima. Those two dishes and two drinks (lemonade and sangria) cost us about 70-80 PEN. I also must say that drinks were quite good.

I had nothing but great experiences at Chalet Venezia. As a vegetarian, I am always looking for restaurants that serve vegetables. Unlike Cafe d'Mundo down the street, Chalet Venezia has several salads, and many are vegetarian. My favorite was the Mario Salad, which boasted (I think) garbonzo beans, elote (corn), hearts of palm, lettuce, and a number of other things. It was great, particularly with the homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The Spinach Lasagna was outstanding, creamy, cheese, and loaded with enough spinach to make Popeye's biceps burst. I also tried the quesadilla at the owner's suggestion. It was chock full of vegetables and far better than many anemic quesadillas that one often receives at purely Mexican restaurants. This was really good. I didn't get a chance to try the pizza because the oven collapsed the week prior to my arrival and it took several weeks for a new oven to be built and installed. I was gone before that project had been completed.The service at Chalet Venezia was above and beyond. All of the waiters remembered my name. The manager addressed me directly when I ordered the quesadilla spicy, as he feared that the local peppers would be too hot. They weren;t, but I appreciated the attention and the care for the food and the care for the patrons. Christian, the owner, was always quick to offer suggestions about hikes or his experience in the area. He also owns the French bakery next-door (La Mason du Pan).I would strongly recommend Chalet Venezia for Italian food, certainly for the Spinach Lasagna, for the quesadilla, for the salad, and for the service. In my estimation (as a non-meat-eater), it is likely one of the best restaurants in town, and far, far better than Cafe d'Monde down the street.

I went here on a solo visit while in Tarapoto I arrived at opening time so was first in, even though I was the only one it still had a nice atmosphere I really like the decoration of the place it is very chilled out. I had the veggie burger and fries which was really nice in a nice brown bread roll and nice and moist and full of flavour I also had an amazing salad which had the most interesting and tasty seasoning, highly suggest you try this. I managed to get to chat with the owners who also are the chefs and this is when a nice meal turned into a 5 star rating. The idea behind the restaurant is to fund an NGO to promote sustainable ecologicaly friendly agriculture and educate children and families in poverty in how to achieve the same (I probably have not done this justice). Anyone visiting Tarapoto should put this on their list not only to eat great and healthy food but to help the owners help the community. They also hold lovely meditation classes some mornings and some evenings.A very nice message, thanks a lot. It´s was very nice to speak with you and exchange experiences of life.It´s a pleasure for us to cook and exchange with our customers and friends. Thanks you to coming in Savia Madre.
