We had a wonderful evening. The food was excellent including Filet Mignon, Lobster, and an amazingly tender Octopus. The wine chosen, Esporao, was delicious and accompanied the food well. Manuel, the owner, shows wonderful pride in his food creations, and was a warm and friendly host.

Wonderful food, especially the orange roughy and the salmon. We had a lovely business casual dinner and were all delighted with the atmosphere. Twilight Dinner prices were excellent, quantity of food was very good. Only disappointment: chocolate cake was really dry. I do highly recommend the restaurant!

We visited Nova Europa on a Sunday evening with another couple. We were greeted by the former chef, who now welcomes guests as they arrive. There was a large variety of Portuguese/Italian dishes, everyone's food was very good. Prices were reasonable with evening and twilight 3 course specials. Quiet restaurant with no special ambience however, we could easily enjoy conversation which is very difficult in many restaurants today. We will dine there again.
