Pisco y Nazca opens in Bethesda

Peruvian restaurant Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar will open in downtown Bethesda on Monday afternoon, according to a press release from the eatery.

The restaurant, located in the 2 Bethesda Metro Center building at 7401 Woodmont Ave., will be Pisco y Nazca’s first location in Maryland and its sixth nationally. It is taking over the former home of Cesco Osteria, a Bethesda staple for 25 years that closed in 2022.

“We are thrilled to bring the bold and dynamic flavors of Peru to Bethesda,” restaurant regional manager Rosa Reyes said in the release. “This community has an incredible appreciation for diverse culinary experiences, and we look forward to sharing a bit of Peru with our guests.”
