Good service and atmosphere. Food was not good; $64 ribeye had funny taste/xtra-fatty and was badly cooked, octopus was slimy, clams casino tasted like burnt sausage. Been here a few times and usually good but not this time

Such a great place! We have always gone to the location in Newark but are so happy this one opened up! Our first time there was this past weekend. They made us feel like family. Our server was joking around with us and was so attentive. He was even playing a little bit with our kids. We will definitely be going back.

We had a fantastic dining experience here! The food was outstanding with generous portions, and the service was warm and welcoming. The waitstaff were genuinely friendly, and we even got to chat with Carlos, the chef, who is from Porto and has been cooking since a young age. His passion for authentic Portuguese cuisine shines through—dining here felt just like being back in Lisbon and Porto.

We loved every dish, from the flavorful paella and stuffed brown crab to the perfectly grilled bronzino, tender octopus, and hearty beef tripe. Although we were quite full after the main courses, we couldn’t resist trying two desserts: the flan and mango coconut mousse. Both were absolutely delicious!

We’re so glad to have found this gem near home here in NJ. Highly recommend!
