The food was excellent again, but I especially want to recognize Junior, who was serving the meats, and Nicole, our waitress. Both provided great service and were attentive throughout the meal. On my first visit, my only concern was that the dining room seemed understaffed, which caused some longer waits between cuts of meat. This time around, the experience was much better and the service matched the quality of the food. Junior and Nicole did a great job, and I really appreciated their service. After two visits and consistently great food, I'm happy to give Rio Picanha 5/5 stars and will definitely be back.

We are regulars at fogo de cha. First impression? Organized, intimate, mom and pop style ambiance. Angela took care of us and explained everything. Went to the unlimited salad bar Fell in love with the kale, black beans with pork, Brazilian rice, seafood soup and the cheese balls!!!! The meats were all so flavorful Skirt steak was beautifully cooked and the picahna had a delightful char to it The rest of the meats still had flavor We came during dinner time so our tab was over 100$ with drinks included and dessert. Second time around my bf and I, we unknowingly came on Sunday brunch time Limited meats but still over all good choices and all our favorite sides. We requested Angela's section and got to know the gauchos who served us the meats. I think Jr is the one we mostly vibed with but the other workers are nice and friendly Place is clean, they have a full bar and staff is hardworking. I'm definitely returning again, stomach is grumbling as I write this so I will prob stop in for the 35$ weekday lunch special. Thanks Rio PICAHNA

The place is beautiful, very clean, very fancy. The waiter who explained how everything works had a pretty strong accent and it was kind of loud in there so it was a little hard to understand but he was more than happy to answer any questions we had. The salad bar had a ton of variety and all of it was so good. The shrimp was delicious and spicy, the jasmine rice was so warm and soft. The potatoes were cheesy and soft. They give you complimentary mashed potatoes, cheesy bread, plantains, and French fries and all of it was cooked to perfection. It was hard to not eat all of it right away. The meat selection is a little overstimulating since the waiters are just buzzing around the tables looking for people to shave off a piece of meat for. All of the food runners were extremely friendly and looked happy to be there, there were just so many of them. You get overwhelmed because you just start saying yes to all the meat because you don't want to miss out on a good piece but then you end up with a ton of food on your plate. I tried to play it cool and only eat small portions at a time but I got full so quickly :-( the best meat had to be the filet minion, the worst being some of the lamb options, but none of it tasted bad. We didn't order any drinks because we were trying to only get full off the actual food but we had multiple waiters try to get us to order their house cocktails. Next time I would definitely try one now that I know what to expect.

The full-on churrasco experience is the only thing you should be preparing for here, although I've ordered takeout via DoorDash/Uber Eats as well when I've needed to hit my craving for picanha (it's surprisingly good even after delivery). The service has been strong and there's always someone coming by to offer you cuts, though don't be caught just waiting for the cuts of meat you want - they are more than happy to take your order for the meats you're waiting for. Some make the mistake of just simply sitting quiet and waiting until the desired cut comes around - don't be shy! If you enjoy a drink with your meal, treat yourself to a caipirinha while you're here - they're sweet, strong and done well. I save room in my stomach for this place when I go. Save a second stomach for dessert, because they have a huge selection of presentable desserts to match the meats too!

The décor has a warm, rustic charm that immediately made us feel comfortable. The staff was outstanding from start to finish. Courteous, friendly, and very attentive without being overbearing. For our appetizer, we ordered the Burrata & Fig (I forgot to take a picture!). It was the perfect size for two people to share and was beautifully presented on a wooden board with fresh bread, arugula, creamy burrata, and a delicious fig spread. Every bite was fantastic. For our entrées, I ordered the pepperoni pizza and added extra pepperoni and extra cheese since I'm a huge fan of both. My husband had the Al Pesto with chicken. Both dishes were exceptional and packed with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were very generous, we couldn't finish our meals and happily took the leftovers home. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert! I ordered the Chocolate Grande Cake, and my husband got the Chocolate Carrot Cake. Even though we were stuffed, we took them to go, and I'm so glad we did. They were incredibly rich, moist, and delicious. We were definitely in chocolate heaven! Our bill came to about $120 before tip, which included the appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. Considering the generous portions, excellent service, and overall quality of the food, I thought it was well worth it. From the food and service to the atmosphere, Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed that we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you're looking for a cozy restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It definitely deserves all 5 stars!

Bossa Nova deserves 5 stars…read more I came here with a group of 10 people, and even with that many, we were seated in about 30 to 45 minutes. I thought that was very reasonable. The service was excellent throughout. Our server was attentive, friendly, and managed our large group without a hitch. I originally planned to order one of the salmon bowls, but a friend pointed out that all the chicken is certified halal. That changed my mind, and I ordered the Grilled Chicken on Fire (Cajun) instead. This is a big plus for the Muslim community in the area. It's not always easy to find restaurants with certified halal options, so I really appreciate that Bossa Nova offers them. I have already recommended this place to several friends, and they will definitely check it out. For my sides, I chose the roasted vegetables, sweet potato fries, and plantains. Everything was delicious. The Cajun seasoned chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The plantains were fried perfectly, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the roasted vegetables complemented everything nicely. I also ordered a Guaraná Zero, which added a nice touch to the meal and is something you don't find at many places. I really enjoyed the atmosphere too. They had the FIFA World Cup playing on the TVs, so it was fun to watch the matches while having dinner with friends. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Great food, excellent service, halal options, and a fun atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

The buffet includes a variety of salads, rice, sauces, soup, and other sides. They bring cheese bread in the shape of a waffle. While drinks aren't included, they offer fountain drinks and also libations. Parking is convenient, with plenty of spots available both in the front and back of the restaurant. One thing to note: they automatically add a service fee to the bill, which caught us off guard. However, the staff was understanding and removed it when we asked, so just keep that in mind. All in all this is a nice brazilian spot to go to if the large brazilian BBQ places overwhelm you.

We came for dinner around 7pm on Friday night. There was maybe 4-5 other tables already sitting down when we came in. The restaurant could easily sit another 20 tables. Now, some people might say their meat selection is smaller then some.of the other places, which is true to an extent. Let's be honest the star of the show is always the picanha. Theirs was perfectly cooked as well as the other cuts of meat. The server was quick to bring out more of whatever we wanted. The buffet and the salad bar is smaller then the other places. Be aware they have black beans but not fejioada. But it also had some korean side dishes which was a nice change. The cheese bread is in the shape of a waffle. Service was fast and friendly. The meat came out at a good pace. Whenever something in the buffet was empty it was quickly refilled. Be aware they charge an automatic service charge. We went with 4 people. The best thing about it was the price point. Almost half the price of the bigger restaurants with about 90 percent of the meat and maybe 70 percent of the salad and buffet items. I will definitely be back again and you should too. Recommended
