Welcome to Amaru
Pan-Latin Cuisine & Cocktails in Chicago
We share our culture, history, and deep love for Latin American food through a menu that travels, from the Argentinian wine country to the seafood-rich waters of Peru, from Brazil’s lush jungles to Colombia’s green mountains, with nods to Mexico’s range and the Caribbean’s bright spirit.
Set in Wicker Park, Amaru is a chill, easygoing restaurant for Peruvian and Latin plates and tropical cocktails, where groups settle in, date nights stretch out, and the bar stays upbeat without drowning out conversation. Expect bright citrus, smoky chiles, and silky sauces alongside handmade pasta and seasonal rotations. Behind the drinks, our cocktail program leans into rum, plus Latin wines, local beer, and a thoughtful lineup of non-alcoholic options, one more reason we’re a go-to among Latin restaurants in Chicago.
