Good food ample seating and the waitress is nice. Food a bit pricey compared to other Portuguese restaurants in the area but the portions are generous.

What a marvelous meal my friend and I had here! We shared a bowl of tasty caldo verde. Our tasty entrees included the mariscada and paella over rice with a side of terrific Portuguese fries. We also shared a lovely bottle of Aveleda Vinho Verde. Setvice was great; portions were large and the prices were very fair.I highly recommend others to dine here.

Had the creole chicken for lunch. The sauce was excellent and portions were good. Chicken was a bit dry and over cooked though. Was first time visitor and would love to go back to try other things on the menu that sounded good.

Great place. Sad day restaurant may be closing after all these years. So everyone who sees this should try a traditional Portuguese dish in case it's TRUE. Don't regret missing a good meal. Thank you for all the years. Great place.

Love this place. The food has remained the same over the year. Literally be Portuguese food beside my grandma's of course.
I went for snacks and drinks. The jar of white sangria was yummy and plentiful. The snacks ranged from fresh cheese and crackers to cod fish cakes - all good and a bit salty BUT made a delicious contrast with the bread and sangria. Note I am very aware of Portuguese food.

I wanted to love this place, but the food just missed the mark. The paella and bread were disappointing. I would go back one more time because they have a lot on the menu, and maybe there’s something they do better.

I cannot run out of superlatives to describe my dining experience at Portugalia in Cambridge.The food, the wine, and the sevice. Let's break it all down.This is the quintessential mom and pop experience. The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. Many of them are Portuguese so they're sharing part of their culture with you. The staff answered all of our questions and provided solid suggestions. They treated us like royalty.We bought a solid bottle of Portuguese wine for only $22.We then split an amazing clam appetizer with chouriço which blended so nicely together.After that, we devoured our seafood main courses. I had la mariscada (all kinds of seafood in a bouillabaisse). It was $24 and could easily be shared between two people.The restaurant has not jacked up its prices as we deal with record inflation. So you can expect a quality, filling meal with a nice Portugese ambiance without spending a fortune.

Brings back memories of seafood in the Azores. Such a wonderful, overlooked spot in Cambridge. Highly recommend seafood and bacalao dishes.

It's incredible to understand the history of this restaurant and the roots. It's what you read or learn at Ellis Island. It's wonderful to see the integrity of the Portuguese roots instilled and not compromised. This restaurant doesn't buckle to trends that come and go. It's steadfast and stands by its authentic roots and it shows in the flavors of their food. For me, when I visit, it will always be linguica. Give me a plate, some bread and leave me be. The caldo verde--just like my grandmother's. I have never had a bad meal or service here.
